    Evening all, £2.50 in the pot today :)

    I found 5p roadkill today outside Spar, put it in my coat pocket but when I got home it had gone! Obviously just wasn't meant for me!

    I'm useless with roadkill, but my 5 year old is like a little magpie, he's always finding pound coins! He looks under vending machines for them lol when we where at the airport last year he found £3 under one vending machine, and at the hospital just before Christmas he found £1.50 under a vending machine!

    So, I'm going to start looking under them lol

    So dazza its you hogging all the £2 coins is it!:rotfl::rotfl: no wonder they are in short supply - think I'm going to be asking for them in my change from next month so I can stash some too :T

    My terramundi has not been fed in a while ( but unless I'm really lucky in lean January it will have to wait until after payday to be fed again:)

    Afraid so.....!!!

    I'll leave one in the bottom of the shopping trolley for you....

    £2.80 for the pot - a £2 coin and 4 x 20p's - it now seems to be feeling quite well fed and really hope its to the brim when it gets around to the time of opening.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Can I consider any cash found on sons bedroom floor road kill?
    I've been putting everything I've found into a tub for him but I'm now thinking if he just leaves it on the floor I may as well have it :D

    I've been having imposed NSDs because I've got the cold/flu thing so no change left in purse but when I get to the bank I'll lift an extra £10 and pop that in. Tin is quite heavy already because I started to fill it just before Xmas. Need to get selling stuff once I'm better.
