    Hi, I signed up for this challenge ages ago (no 1236) but life got in the way and I seemed to forget about it :(. Anyway I'm back on the wagon! Got my piggy for £1 coins and another bank for general dross. 1 and 2p's are saved in a Mickey Mouse tub as DS likes to count them.

    So far I have 26 £1 coins in the piggy. No idea about the dross one.

    No target, I will just bank when the piggy is nice and plump!

    Hi all, missed to post for a while, I think I've managed to pot at least £20 this week from change and dinner money because of half term. My pot is getting close to the top so I'm tied at the moment between seeing it full or starting a new on before it gets full and am tempted to try and pluck coins out lol.

    Hi all
    Well another gardening trip to mums yesterday left me with 86p to pot plus 1p roadkill :)
    Might have to open Patrick early this year to help pay for my ridiculously expensive specs - I have funny eyes so the lenses cost a fortune even if I choose cheap frames :( Hey ho it could be worse! It's only money.

    Welcome home nikki and LittleOwl

    Enjoy the sun I hope Lindylou's wrong about that!

    Right well hoping to get back on track with potting.

    Have banked £55 so far. Not great but better than nothing. Well I'm going to try and get back on the band wagon. So will see what I have in my purse to pot.

    Also my friend has bought baby ETO a sealed pot. So we will be trying to pot £2 coins for him. :D

    Happy Belated Birthday LC2 and e4rub!! :bdaycake: :bdaycake:

    Hello potters, welcome back Nikki. :)

    Potted £1.60 change left over from BCDO yesterday. DH was working there as a sound engineer in one of the venues. So DD and I helped him spend the rest of his food vouchers yesterday....aren't we kind!! :D

    Feeling a little sleepy after a weekend of walking around and sitting in the sunshine. BBQ and F1 race later today with friends, to finish off the bank holiday weekend of relaxing. ;)
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    I found 5p while picking up after the dog yesterday! A nicer surprise than I was expecting. It's in the pot & thankfully I didn't get the 2 mixed up!
