I was only joking about you going to view the nudist beach, Ruby, though there is one there at Studland where people 'hang out' for sure! From Shell Bay to Dancing Ledge is so beautiful, I'm so pleased you really enjoyed yourselves. Hubby & I are birders, but I'm blowed if we can think what fits the " mostly black with a stubby white tail" unless you're talking about Oystercatchers. They've quite a bit of white on them, but it depends on the angle you view them as to how much white you see. They almost always fly low and in flocks. What do you think?

Phew! You had me going there Sue!
We looked up the birds and decided they were Brent Geese - the photo OH took looks just like the one on the RSPB website. Does that sound right? I expect they're quite common but I'm not good with birds
Potted some shrapnel today, won't get much tomorrow as I'm off down to Mum's on the train again. Spent all day doing my garden and I'll be doing hers tomorrow!
Night night all, keep up the good work - and well done on the roadkill sparky you are indeed the king!

Well only managed £2.10 in the last couple of days. Partner went out but used his change for DD for swim club fees.
I am sure next week he will be at the shop more lol.:rotfl::rotfl:

My hands stink of that money sort of smell I've counted through the change in the purple box and there was £1.48. Many of them were shiny coins, (I've long had problems with spending nice shiny ones ), others were made before either of my parents were born!

My parents and nan gave me money instead of chocolate for easter. Ive decided we'll go for a nice lunch out to my favourite vegetarian cafe tomorrow and maybe hobbycraft for a treat or two, but then I'll try to be good and put what's left in the pot


I've almost filled up my first pot now after today's sparkly purple box find, hooray!

Good for you Hun. We'll be in NYC January 5th to the 12th. We would move there tomorrow if we could. It's an amazing city and the people are fantastic. Have you been before?

Let us know when you'll be there

You can't go and live in NYC what would we do?

Thanks Sue. Hope you and your family enjoy the Easter weekend.

We've all had a really lovely time thanks, Kerry, hope you did too.


It's really good to see you, tatabubbly, all the best with your savings getting you enough for your Wedding cake.

Good Heavens above, sparky! :T What a haul and all from other folk!!! I hope you know just how lucky you are to have soooo many droppers near you - and a kiddies play ground/field so close! D'you get out on the scooter much these days?

A brilliant find, dinglefoot!! A detest the smell of money and having it on my hands, but so worth it for just a little while!!

The student gave DH and me a smarties Easter egg each - bless.

Ahhh, that was so sweet of him, mishmogs, not surprised though as the Germans are quite big on Easter.

Good for you, ModestyB, I haven't found any in ages - sparky almost has the lot....well almost!!!


Is it easy with transactions on FB, jakes-mum? Our DGD keeps on at us to sell via FB, but it worries me about how folk pay.

Sorry, Rosy, just joking, you know me. Yes, I reckon you're right with Brent Geese! I was thinking actual sea birds, but BGs are sea geese and over-winter here, but breed in Russia. Well spotted! :T


WOW, LC 2, you sound as though you won a LOT on the Lottery!

DH & I had 3 numbers come up on Saturday's Lottery!!!! :j So that's a £10er for the pot!!!! :j

Have a lovely Easter Monday, folks, but do keep warm as that's a bitter wind - again!!

Its veeeeeeeeeeeeery easy to sell on FB Sue-UU, just pop your town name and the words selling page into the search bar to find a page set up for selling in your area, ask to join, add pictures of stuff you have for sale. If anyone wants it they will either comment on your picture or private message you, you arrange a day and time for them to come and collect it from you and then give them your address

Best part is they pay you in CASH!! :j:j:j its my favourite way to sell as there are no fees, people view the items before they part with their cash so no returns, and as I spend most of my life in this house people can turn up whenever and the odd no show doesnt bother me

You do occasionally get people asking you to deliver and its up to you whether you can or if you want too, alot of people will say 'yes for a couple of quid toward fuel' I only drop off if they are in my town (its quite small) or im already going to where ever they live.

and talking of FB sales, £5 for the pot today for me and £2 in miss lilys money box for her FB sale

Shes spent the morning looking through the Arg0s book for what shes going to spend all her extra pennies on, so far Ihave had to veto a drum set, a microphone, a guitar and a trampoline (we already have one :think:)

Saver88

Hope everyone had a nice Easter. We had a lovely day out at the local farm. Have some pennies left £1.80 which is going in the pot. Also just had someone come and collect an eBay purchase, £40 cash so I have saved £20 as going swimming tomorrow and potted the other £20 yay!!!
Have a nice day :-)

Hello I'm new to this challenge.

My sealed pot is a yellow pot with animal pictures on it. The bar code sticker is firmly stuck over the hole where the money comes(forgot what it is called)out so I can't dip into it.

70p was my first amount into the pot found under the bed whilst cleaning my bedroom.
