    Had two days off work so no spend days and no change days.

    Today I am hoping for a shiny £1 to make it to the pot
      To those who are given much, much is expected


        Fiver Friday #8 £5
      1. 3 days of lunch money not spent therefore £18 in the pot, £1.39 from purse, 65p from husbands pockets and 2x1p road kill! £22.04


        Poor hubbie! ;)
      2. Potted 1p found on the counter in the kitchen earlier x
      3. Been to an ASDA, a smaller one near me rather than the massive (I need to fill my trolley with bargains one!) Being smaller I bought less, especially junk food (on a diet again!) and out of £20 I got £6.99 change, so in the pot it goes! Then I found 20p outside the gate of where I live!

        Total Potted £7.19

        not much spending at mo as still got cold and sore throat which granddaughter kindly give me at Xmas .

        I bet you'd rather had a box of chocolates. :D
        Sorry, hope you recover quickly. Hubby has had that sore throat thingy that's going around for over 4 weeks (on and off). Lots seem to be having the same problems throughout the country!!

        Done a little sales shopping and did well.

        Potted a £2 coin (change from Ikea breakfast) and 2 x 20p coins = £2.40 potted.

        Afternoon, a good couple of days for my little pot, I found £1.60 in a coat pocket that I had not had on since last winter which went streight into my pot and today just a cheeky 20p piece that should have gone into hubbys 20p jar but I mistakenly popped it into my pot.... whoops;)

        My local RBS also has a machine which takes loose coins - I love the noise it makes when you pour in a bag of them!

        I broke one of these machines.:o It doesn't tell you that you have to take the coins out of the bag (I'm Autistic; so take many things literally) and I put the bag into machine as well.

        A friend replied with: "it doesn't tell you not to poo in those machines. Most of us know not to".:rotfl:
