    Hi everyone (excited about new thread)

    This year my hubby rummages will be going towards my son's trek up Mount Kilimanjaro in aid of Meningitis Research next September. He has to do a whole heap of fundraising before August so coinage will be added to the "Kili pot" this time - any excuse for a good rummage.... :D

    Anyway, good luck everyone at the start of the new challenge. Here's to great potting totals ....

    A good bit of spotting for your DS, Mrs Cheshire. That was good of your hubby too. Praise him well, he may just do it again tomorrow. ;)

    Not bad considering DS is 2, shiny money always catches their eye though!

    Evening all, welcome to all the new peeps on the thread! :)

    I 'bought' something from Mossy's Market yesterday so paid myself £1 which went straight in to the pot. :D

    Also found 10p lying around on the floor the other day so quickly potted that!! ;)

    Our boiler is making weird noises...in DH's words it's 'moo-ing'!! Which probably means its the fan part which is around £160 to buy plus fitting!! :eek: :wall: _pale_ Still I AM grateful that I have central heating to break down...although fingers crossed it doesn't actually breakdown and we can get it fixed before it gets that bad.

    Anyway, better go, managed to convince DS not to turn the telly back on after doing her homework and told her to get a game out for us to play instead...she's just walked in with my crib board....looks like I'll be teaching her how to play crib this evening!! :smileyhea

    Good evening everyone!


    Not much spare or loose change at the moment, but I did happen to find 25p sitting on the desk which must have come out of DH's pockets. Well, if he's foolish enough to leave it lying around then he's fine with it being potted. :D :rotfl:


    I'm hoping to bump up my total considerably at some point... Let's hope for DH leaving more cash lying around. :rotfl:
