All change being snapped up by kids for Christmas card games, so very little potting going on. But when I win at Christmas I'll be potting all my winnings!! Ha, clever plan....!2015 £2 Saver #82

Just over £11 in the pot (including 3 x £2). For some reason I'm getting more of a thrill saving all coins together than I did keeping £2 separately - I suppose you don't have to wait for them to come along! No coins are safe - I'm trying to get as many as possible into those pots!
Happy potting

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?
I have 4 different pots going!!! :-)
Hi Determined diva, that is perfectly ok, though there's no need for the breakdown. Thanks for your cooperation.
You're welcome, redmel, just so pleased it makes it a lot easier for you.
oooooops! Forgot for a mo about your back, little_sweetie!
Terrific, getting-there-slowly!
You've got the idea, gobbygal, keep searching.Missmarple wrote: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.
All that makes marvellous reading, Missmarple, well done your hubby!!!!! :j
Whhhooooopppeeeeee, Savingforsomeday!!! Great news!
