    I've been Money Tipped!
    HOK3Y - welcome and good luck. A nice target to aim for in 3 months.

    Another 2 x £2 coins and a 50p coin potted = £4.50
    Those s/scan tills are sometimes pretty good for £2 coins. lol

    £513+ potted and a few part £'s potted this week to add to surprise.

    I've potted £1.22 today. Payday tomorrow so going into town to get bits and bobs - which means more change to pot when I get back :-)

    Hello Everyone!

    I would love to join if possible. I found an empty coffee tin at work (one of the big catering size ones) so have brought that home. Went through the house, DH's jean pockets, back of sofa etc and found £13 which has gone in the pot!

    I'm not going to aim for this Christmas but instead go for next Christmas. I'd like to get £200.

    Thanks. Xxxxx
  • £2 in the pot tonight. x

    Yikes:eek: :eek:.....although I'm excited about counting it all when the time comes :)

    Welcome wegle :hello: - sounds like your off to a great start. Sue will be along soon to give you a number which needs to go on your signature for counting up day! If you haven't read the first post yet, it's a great place to start....and it's a good idea to subscribe to the thread so you don't lose us along the way :)

    Shrapnel and a £1 coin potted today - perhaps some paper money at the weekend from holding piggy too :A

  • Evening all

    Just 2p potted today; found it lurking in our little ensuite under a discarded towel (DH is a scruffy so and so which means I have no compunction in nicking any change he leaves lying around with his mess ;))

    Very MSE cooking weekend on the horizon as DH and the kids went to the school science dept's polytunnel to water and weed while I was at work today and came back groaning under an enormous weight of tomatoes, green peppers, aubergines and cucumbers. Methinks tomato soup, ratatouille and pasta sauce batch cooking for stocking up the freezer! Need all the point-free veg I can get after my 4lb holiday weight gain, lol :D

    Stay healthy and happy! Night one and all :)

    Finders keepers, Lindylou! I even keep change if I find it in the kids pockets when doing laundry - and remind them how important it is for them to keep better track of their money! It's worked too - I rarely find money or anything else in their pockets now. Which is a good thing after my washine machine broke down thanks to lots of those stupid shaped elastic bands that were all the rage a couple of years ago......

    So what will I be doing today? Well, it's going to be a NSD for me as I am home studying but I am going to raid our two sofas and see if they are concealing any pennies. I will put at least a penny in my pot somehow.

    Wishing a fruitful, pot-filling day to everyone! :D
