    As already been said Sue will be along to give you a number but you have already become one of us so please join in the banter and start potting . Sparky is also missing!!:eek: but he is our counter upper and works weird hours !!! so if you bank any money could you just pop it onto your signature for him. :eek: If you have any questions just ask we know everything !!!!! It's cos we are so [STRIKE]nosy[/STRIKE] knowledgeable :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway enjoy yourselves on here and save every penny you can

    Thanks so much luckycharlie! :D

    Looking forward to the banter! Also going to follow suit and raid the OH's trousers/pockets/possibly wallet later!!

    We have a metal detector too so going to get back into that this year as we had great success finding loose change in parks/in forests last year!!

    Here's to a big a fat pot by November!

    x0emz0x - hello and welcome to the thread :) Good luck with your target :) If you start saving today you will need to save 41p a day to achieve it.... It's sad how much i love working with numbers haha

    Wow, £10.65 has gone in the pot the last few days. Some of that is from cleaning up. Some was some very loooovely £2 coins :)

    I don't think i'll be potting any more this month so i will declare my total for May as £75.46. Pleased with that, its not the most i've saved in a month but it's not the least either.

    Off down to London tomorrow. Mummy is looking after Squash so she is not lonely. I fancied a long shower last night but felt bad that i wouldn't have time to get Squash out so decided to take her in and thought she could sit somewhere and wait for me (i'm told steam is good for birds)..... No chance, she was stuck to me like glue, got absolutely soaked then wondered why she couldn't fly properly lol. She dried herself on my dressing gown when i put it on then let me finish her feathers under the hair-dryer. Once she was dry she took herself off to bed and left me to get myself sorted. She's a character and i love having her around :) I hope you get as much joy from George Jakes-Mum

    OOooo, also just remembered it's interest day tomorrow :D

    Having a pottering about day at home today, both kids have got friends over so it's a NSD too :)
    I'm therefore going to add £3.93 to the xmas pot
    and £5 to the car insurance pot
    I know that come September when my wages go down I'll be unlikely to pot at this rate, so making the most of it at the mo

    I was bored, so I broke the seal and counted the contents.

    I know it was wrong, and I do feel guilty, but I have put the money back and resealed it.

    Had a good morning shopping with DD. She needed 2 pairs of trainers (1 for PE and 1 for every day use) and a new pair of school shoes :eek::eek:
    It cost loads less than I had budgeted for :j:j so I took her to Maccy D's for her dinner ;). Came home and potted a whopping £16.97 :eek::eek: One happy Mum :j:j
