  • Hiya, any chance I could join this? I found an old money box in my loft when putting away the decorations and have taken that as a sign I'm supposed to put money in it so this seems perfect!


    I've already popped £4.51 in there so I'm well on my way to my first million :-)

    Well no real change for me for potting today, did the food shop this morning and had more change from that than I thought so put £10 in its normal household pot in the drawer and then when tidying cupboards thought about using the posh hot choccy tin (from last Xmas) as my new holding pot for the spare food monies that I am saving when I can ( sshh - the ones hubbie knows nothing about for our hols in Miami) - hid it in the tins in the food cupboard - hopefully he won't find it this time!! :rotfl:
    He discovered the last pot :( (should be safe he never goes to the back of the cupboard and doesn't really drink hot choc - heehee :):)
    so hopefully the £30 in there should be safe and will pot next sat if not needed xx

    Welcome all new potters:wave: and happy hols to those going away - have fun :j

    Hopefully this week will find my first road kill ( might have half a chance seen as sparky is out of the country!)

    Keep safe and warm potters in this crazy weather xx

    Had no change today, so didn't put any money in. I'm sure I have two bags of money in my room somewhere. Will find them and put them in my tin.
