I HAVE FOUND WHERE ALL THE £2 coins are!!!!!!! good news is, they are soon to be back in (my mind has gone blank [insert word that means back in banks and shops being exchanged from person to person]) soon. My managers father-in-law has almost £15,000 in £2 coins in his house that he has been collecting forever!!!


Thank you for my star Sue

I'm glad you're feeling better 50thfun. Good luck in finding your pot lol

Well done on the winning streak Bambisbelle !! be sure to send it this way when you've done.

Welcome DFW_dee and charleybear



£14.85 has gone into my pot since my last update :j

At the weekend i counted up £383.80 in change but sadly it wasnt mine

and i lost 2 1/4 lb this month

Also, i sold my car Saturday and am away to pick up a new one later on today. Decided to get a loan to pay for it (not very mse but...) so i can add that to my signature and ensure i get it paid off efficiently. My reasoning behind the loan is that my job is not secure, i could go to work at any time and be told that's it so if i get a loan (for less than the total of my savings) i can pay it off but still have money to fall back on if i lose my job. Also, it's not really costing me much to do it.

I hope you all had a good weekend !

£3 over the weekend and then £1.06 this morning

Cinders:

Potted £10 on Saturday due to an ebay sale, and £10 on Sunday for another ebay sale, yay :j
Should mention that my sealed pot is also a no swear jar....and thanks to having a bottle of wine with my best friend on Friday evening the subject of my ex-husband came up....lets just say that the fines were huge, and there's quite a bit more in my jar!

Helping dd1 & Partner move house today going to be one very long day going to miss them but as long as they are happy it's all part of growing up :-) well better get going as lots to do .

Thanks so much for the lovely wishes, skilly, the cake too! My heart goes out to you with them moving, it is all part of growing up, but it's never easy for us parents, especially (dare I say it) us Mums. The one thing I can say is that you do soon adapt. Thinking of you skilly. :kisses3:

Good saving, Emily, well done!

VERY well done, Kerry!

OK, Ruth, firstly...where does he live?! VERY well done on that weight loss :T let that motivate you further now. I see what you mean with the loan, all the best in getting shot asap.

Hallo everyone,

Managed to pot £1, change from weekend shop.

WOW little_sweetie, a whole row of stars ..... well done.

Happy saving everyone,

Have found my black coat for the upcoming funeral, as I remembered that I need to sew a button onto it. I looked through the pockets and there was all sorts of rubbish, including a very worn looking 1p coin from 1971. That's my contribution today, unless I find anything else while I'm tidying and whatnot

£5 added to the pot today.
