    Can I join please?


    My sealed pot money is going to come mainly from money left behind in jeans / trousers / jackets, etc that the men in my house leave...and I find again when I do their washing!


    Finders, keepers...right??!!


    I will add any extras I have left in my purse or any loose change I come across that has fallen out in the bottom of my handbag, etc.


    Looking forward to end of November already.


    My target is £200.


    Thanks,
    ML.
