    Morning fellow potters :)

    In my last post i was hoping to find some stray coinage upstairs, alas after a major cleaning session i didnt find a single penny!! :cool:

    However i, with my eagle eyes, surveying the land at my feet spotted a crisp £5 abandoned in a carpark :j swooping down i claimed it has mine :) OH moans ' why can't i ever find money?' the answer to that is simple, you have to be on the look out for it!

    With that and relieving my purse of its under 50p coins i have potted £7.12 this morning :)

    I think the holding pot idea is an excellent way to save, i potted everything 'spare' from my purse last week and then promptly needed £1 for DD, so had to break a note at the shop and buy something just to get some change!

    Hi all
    A lovely 2 x £2 and some change yesterday when I got back from Mum's. It looks such a lovely day outside but it's sooo cold!
    T'other day I was in Mr A when a man near me dropped all his change from his pocket! I had to restrain myself from rugby-tackling him as he picked it all up! He didn't leave me a single coin - yes i did go aver and look as soon as he'd gone :rotfl:
    Lucky OH wasn't with me he'd have been so embarrased!

  • Hello

    I hope you are all well.

    Saturday i went to the cash machine and took out £50 for my works Christmas do. It gave me my card and my receipt but no money :( I checked my online banking and that said the money had come out too. Luckily when i called the bank this morning they said it will be back in my bank by Wednesday. However, i had all my drinks bought for me (i offered to buy back but i don't feel guilty since they're all on way more than me) so i'm tempted to pot the £50 when i get it back :) I also gave £5 to a homeless man because he was sat next to the cash machine and looked after me whilst i was trying to work out what to do. He promised me he was going to use it for a room for the night and i believed him (also he didn't show any drink or drug signs and was sat on a book).

    Anyway... since i last posted my potted amount i have potted £12.49 :)
