  • i have been AWOL for a few weeks now massive sorry...I had a bit of a mini crisis just after Christmas and being skint I had to open the tin and took the £27 that was in there. I was and still am gutted about it and not going to rest until I get an extra £27 back in my pot. I got myself a nice new tin and i am not keeping track now of what i am potting just potting the change from my purse each day.

    today i got a parking ticket (£25) really really annoyed with myself as it was my own fault i didnt think i had change and risked it, it failed then to my real annoyance found a £1 in my pocket when looking fro my car keys! I am not going to open my tin I have 2 weeks to pay it so that's £12.50 off this weeks budget and the same next week!!

    I found a shiny 5p in the asda self service till today was really chuffed and my pot was the first thing i thought of!!

    hope everyone else is well
