    Nothing to add today, and as I'm being strict with taking lunch to work, I shouldn't have anything to add tomorrow, unless I spot any roadkill! :D

    Managed to pot £2.72 today - £2 down the side of a chair, 2p in a pocket and 70p under the bed (how did that get there).

    Thanks to everyone who's posting - it's really encouraging to hear what everyone is potting. Can't believe I've got nearly a fiver after 2 days from money that I just hadn't noticed :eek:. Going to try and forget how much I've potted now as I'm hoping for a fab surprise in November.

    starnac - a very warm welcome home! Though I might also add...about time too!!! ;) Sorry you were temporarily elbowed, but as you say it's been a good long while, though I know you'll be visiting more often - yes? :D

    Yes miss, of course, Sorry Miss ;)

    To make up for it I put a handful of coppers into my pot this afternoon. Pot started :j

    Sorry Sue, it was me leading jakesmum astray by leading off topic conversation :o. Thanks soooo much jakesmum, I will give it a go. Anything extra in the pot will be very welcome! You are a little gem x

    Found 2p in my coat so that's gone in now......

    Potted £2 today, but not happy :mad: as we met up with friends today and I managed to spend £11 on 4 drinks in the caf!!! :eek:
    I knew that we would end up doing this, and took sweets from the children's selection boxes to avoid the extortionate costs of a piece of cake (it always grieves me to pay for cake as I know it would cost me less to make a whole cake than it does for a single slice!!).


    I'm off visiting family this weekend - a luxury away from the constraints of DD1's swimming on Saturday eve and Sunday morning, and DS 1 &2's Sunday rugby!! Looking forward to a break, I will just have to be careful and not to be vulnerable to snacks and convenience food en route!!! Will sort out a budget of £150 incl diesel and hope to pot any change :)

    Hi all

    I see I ave a shiny new number 035!!

    I was in rather a panic because I couldn't find my number, then I read the names n there I was at 035 instead of 1036.

    This is my first posting on here for quite some time but feeding my pot in fits n starts.

    Good luck n happy New year
