    Not posted on here much, but I am about and keep potting the odd pennies etc. but I never thought of potting money that has been saved from walking instead of taking the bus etc so Im going to start doing that as well, not sure why I never thought about it.
    Anyway, off to work tomorrow as OT but the money from that is going to overpay CC at the end of the month.

    I went to a meeting this morning and walking through the car park I found 2 x 20p lying there doing nothing ;) so I adopted them and they now live in my lovely sealed pot with the rest of them :D
