    84p change in to my sealed pot this afternoon. I got another £2 coin, but that goes in my terramundi, so not for this challenge!

    Wow, some amazing amounts being potted already.£1.20 for my pot today but I am reminding myself its a marathon not a sprint so just warming up. I don't remember the last time I had any road kill so must look harder -I will be hump backed from looking down all year for coins - blooming hope I see something. I'm not proud - even 1p would be good.
    Welcome to all the new members - be warned - this is amazingly addictive!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

  • Just potted another £4. Put 4 of my 6 year olds super hero onsies which he had grown out of on a local for sale site. Asked £2 each and they were snapped up in 5 minutes. So as agreed with my son £4 in sealed pot for holidays and £4 in his. He now wants to sell more things which is great : )
