    £1 and some smash potted today :j

    DD has a charity box on the go during December for collecting change - I'm feeling torn! Think I need to keep feeding my pot and give her £10 for her charity in time for Christmas. Decisions, decisions :o

    In my travels over the past few days,anytime I have spied a collection of coins lying around,I have thought "POT!!" (and challenged myself to remember which pot each coin would go into :rotfl:).
    Found 39p yesterday (actually found another £1coin as well,but I remember putting it in a very safe place to pot later.Now I can't remember where that is.Guess it's safe,then ;))

    Today while reaching into the glove box,found £1.40 (£1,20p,20p),and promised myself I would rescue it later.Just been out there now to get it,and found another 55p,so potting £1.95 for today,before I forget where I have left it!

    Thanks for the heads up Lynsey - it's only one per customer though ! But £5 saved is another pair of undies :naughty:


    Can someone tell me why I NEVER seem to find any roadkill and DH watches his pennies like a hawk :mad:


    Another £1 potted in my pot today.

    I think I have now found it all...unless theres a silver coin fairy somewhere :)

    You'll soon find out if you get any roadkill, gottogo! ;) They're always at work.

    .....or you could put a percentage in each to be fair, MissE, good luck either way. Good luck to your lass.

    Best be careful, Saver-upper, or you'll get yourself into a right state of permanent confusion. :undecided

    Don't mention SPC to your DH too much, Lynne, he's obviously on to you and minding his cash too carefully. :cool:

    At a girl, Helen, you're staying consistent. :D

    Strewth mummytummy, you're as bad as sparky, still, at least that way we'll stay mindful.....unlike all our late declarers!!! :mad:

    Good potting for a day, purple angel, it's another day today. ;)

    Good on you, BlueDaisy....

    ....you too, tatabubbly.
    Have a good day, folks, and stay safe and saving.
