Goodness me this post moves so quickly! Well, I haven't put anything in the pot recently cos I just don't use that much cash (like the Queen!!
)
BUT I am very chuffed to report that today I totted up all the money pots I have stashed all over, which have been accumulating for a couple of years, and banked the money.
A whopping total of £665!! Much better in my savings account than gathering dust inside a piggy bank, especially since it's an offset account.
Everything that wasn't a full money bag went back into the terramundi (£2 + £1) and sealed tin (all the silver) (copper goes into the charity tin I have at home so they have done well today also.
Smiles all round

Evening all!
Another 70p has found its way into my bottle today. It's already getting quite addictive to come on here to share with you what I found after digging into my purse!
I'll have a bit more tomorrow as I'm meeting up with friends, but I really ought to have a NSD or two after that

Evening all,
Didn't pot anything yesterday as the only change I had went on car parking (now I was warned driving was going to be expensive, but did I listen).
Planned on potting a lot more today, but I've had this horrid cold/sore throat/flu bug going around, so spent a bit on remedies in Boots. Potted the change though, so £2.32 gone in.Sealed Pot Challenge No 3060 -
Potted a £10 note found in my fishing waistcoat pocket plus a 5p coin.
Welcome to all our new potters.
Have fantastic holiday Sparky. Will you be looking for roadkill in New York?
