    Potted a couple of handfuls of change over the last week. Although I did count them the amount has flown right out of my mind. Is it just me or does everyone find their memories are getting worse? Dur! What was I talking about.........? :rotfl:

    Hugs to all.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    DreamerHelen - yes it is colder!!
    Good luck with that £350 (I'm watching). ;)

    lynnejk - that "money tree" would be nice. A nice heavy cropper. lol

    Potted 2 x £2 coins = £4 and put a 20p in holding pot.

    £640+ potted and my pot is full and a struggle to get any more cash in the pot. The last £25 or so will have to into pot No. 2!!

    Save, save, save these final weeks if you can.

  • Hi all,

    I'd definitely like to join this challenge if that's ok?

    I don't have a sealed pot however I have an old coffee jar I stick all my change in which I think is at about £90 since July. Once it gets to £100 I'm going to use this towards Christmas presents which it may do by the end of the month.

    Can I sort of lurk for the end of this challenge and then join in properly on the 29th?

    You certainly can join!

    Most people just use empty containers and stick them down :) No point in paying for a fancy pants one :)

    I potted £1.51 today (mostly shiny coins, plus a 1p that somehow escaped into a section of my purse between a couple of receipts and I only spotted it today! no idea how I missed it previously) :D

  • Thank you crimson.addict and little_sweetie for the welcome.

    I've got an old coffee jar for change and a big sweetie jar for the £2 challenge with spare empty coffee jars too in case I need them.

    Having read through the first post properly and only skimming it previously I get what roadkill is now!

    I'll definitely be on the hunt for tips for when the new challenge starts. At the moment I'm off sick so not spending a lot but any change I do get goes in the jar each day. Any advice is appreciated.

    Just looking through you're all doing so well. Quite excited to see what I can save now :D
