    Jakesmum, have you looked at Links of London? They do some nice charms, although I'm not sure what their gold bracelets are like. :)

    Potted 21p the other day and another 6p today.

    Hoping to exchange on our new house very soon, feeling excited and skint lol!! :D

    jakes-mum Have you thought of looking 2nd hand for your bracelet? Some independent jewellers have lovely old things that might suit your taste better? Or get something made e.g I have a lovely chunky silver link bracelet made from my Grandad's watch chain which I enjoy wearing even more because of the connection. Just a thought :)

    A brilliant idea about your Granddad's watch, Rosy, I'd go for that as my DH has one from his Dad, bless him. :) A gold star for helping! :staradmin

    Lynsey, did you want me to pop a yearly Target on the 1st page for you? Go on, be a devil and see if you can guess near(ish).

    There is a target there - my original target was £300 as that's what is normally put in the pot over the year (pre challenge). I upped it when I added £1 coins (I normally just save £2, 50p and 20p coins).
    I'll definitely hit my upped £500 target and obviously passed the original £300. I would love to get near or pass the £600 mark though. A few £15 - £20 weeks would help.
    So a teaser would be £600. :D

    Potted £5.20 tonight.

    £353+ potted now (and at least £20 surprise in uncounted part £'s).

    $1.20 into the pot today. Rain rain go away.

    Turns out I will be going to my mums for a week and a bit in July so I'll probably buy a small tin for when I'm over there (I don't think taking 3 tins with as much money as I have in there is a good idea), open it when I leave and then sort it into its proper pots when I get back.
