Today I am hoping for a shiny £1 to make it to the pot

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

Afternoon all, glorious sunny day here for the time of year.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.
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.

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:Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked
