Hi sue

My 2nd job is part time bar work and irregular ... I sometimes work sat night, but not every Saturday as owner rotates staff?? Is that okay?

Also I am keeping that in a separate pit so at the end of the year I can give you all breakdown of:

Total saved, then broken down by:
SPC generic saved
£2 coins saved
20p saved
Bar work saved

= total amount I saved

I have 4 different pots going!!! :-)

Thanks Sue, the holding pot seems a sensible idea.

In terms of footy subs, which are usually £2pw (we owed £1 from a previous week) I think I will give in £10 every 5 weeks. That way we won't have the usual scrabble for change 5 minutes before leaving the house!!

I hope that will ease the 'taking' from the pot :-)

Very, very puzzling, little_sweetie, but at least it's got company now. Definitely blame it on your poor back. BTW, could be more fun IF you had to frisk DH!!!


Sue-uu you are so naughty think of my poor back! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
I hope you are feeling much better now too x

Hello there,
still 'potting' small amounts away as often as possible - found £1 in a coat pocket ( probably from some shopping trolley) so put that in. Not keeping count as want it to be a nice surprise next November.

Got 3 x £2 coins in my change at the weekend so have decided to start a £2 tin as well - haven't seen many £2 coins for a while - obviously stashed away in MSE tins which have been opened and cashed in for Christmas :-)

Keeping my eyes peeled for 'roadkill' but can't seem to find any - perhaps people in Norfolk are more careful with their money !!

I was telling hubby about the sealed pot challenge, he never said much last night when I was enthusing about it. Tonight after work he said did I want the £2 that he was going to spend on my Christmas card for my tin. Of course I did and offered the same back so that is £4 for the tin. The tin (pot) is now becoming a wooden box as hubby is a joiner. He said he will make one that needs sawing up to get at the dosh. I think it is now OUR tin/box/pot and he seems very keen.

£2.68 potted tonight, including my first 1p road kill :T
