    Have potted nothing since Tuesday. May be a bit low (for me anyway) on the amouny I'm potting this week. No swimming tomorrow; so no change from that.

    Yes, unless they are doing a separate challenge with £1 or £2 coins. Any that I have get dropped into a separate pot but are all included at the end. I just keep them separate so that they are easy to count in November :)

    Thanks, I'll keeping dropping mine in my other pot but not keep 'count' of them then hopefully a lovely surprise when I count in November.

    It's great to see I'm by the only one who gives their pot a 'shake' I swirl mine round to 'hear' how its filling up my wee niece has a pot at my house too and she (at 16months) rattles hers to hear her pennies!

    A nice handful of change in the pot yesterday and I counted up my £2 coin jar (not for this challenge as the funds are allocated) and had £240 available to bank :j

    I'm going to count up my Sealed Pot this weekend and bank it. Someone on MSE mentioned how their friend lost £600 when they got burgled and I realised how much money I have just sitting around in coins :o

    I've set up an account and called it Sealed Pot, so all my savings from this will go in there and I will add any bankings to my signature :D
  • So another £1.60 Potted this morning....Slowly Slowly...I know I will get there...just have to keep Potting the Pennies and the Pounds will take care of themselves :j :D :j
  • Good morning all, had to nip to the shop last night to get some change for little ones school dinner today so changed a £20 note, got a lovely £2 coin and lots of £1 which I potted straight away, still have £25 in my purse for the weekend..
