    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    Sue - how bad do you personally have it (floods)?
    It's one of those situations where you can tell stories about in years time, but don't want to live through it now!!
    I won't moan about my weather today.

    Anyway, I potted 5 x £1 coins. Another 5 steps towards my target, though I think I'll be going for that magic 4 figure sum this year. I might only get the one chance and this could be the year.

    Keep potting away, nice to see the level of commitment.

    Forgive me Sue for I have sinned. I unsealed my pot as I needed change. (holds hand out to be smacked).
    The good news is that £100 in notes is headed for the bank today and there is still quite a few pounds worth of change left in there.

    Hugs to everyone in need of one.

    Off to put banked cash in sig.

    Not been out since Tuesday; so nothing more potted or spent. Due to the weather, I won't be away as planned this weekend. :( I am in the south west not far from where the trouble with the trains are. Network Rail are saying we won't be connected to the rest of England until March 18th. :eek:

    Well went for a walk. After 3 miles and a soaking I gave up; the roads are rivers down here! Shame I had a 3 mile trek to get back home but hey I got to practice my roadkill look out skills! No roadkill to speak of but I did still pot £2.71p today :D!

    Another £2 coin and a shiny 50p - yay!! I must try and resist the urge to keep picking the pots up - it isn't going to change anything is it.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
