    I have managed to throw in 22p today! My daughter found 2p road kill today in a shop, but she has put that in her own tin!! Meh greedy kid lol :p

    Im only using a plastic chinese tub at the moment. Lid is super glued and the slot is only small, so no cheating for me. Can't afford to put too much change in at the moment as not paid till Thursday, so things a little tight at the mo!
  • Still cleaning up, and found another 30p.

    It's not coppers or a 5p piece (it's actually a 20p and a 10p), but it's found money, so I put it in anyway, before I changed my mind.

    That gets me up to 50p already. :)

    Oh Rosyq that's pants. Sit down and have a coffee with us instead :coffee::)

    Took my mum out for the afternoon, it was freezing! I took some money out of my hidden stash (!) so I could gt everyone a coffee/hot chocolate but mum paid so the £10 I saved went into the pot.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone.:D
