    Thank you for your kind welcomes, much appreciated!

    I think I'm really getting into the swing of this, I've hit the dizzy heights of 18p!!! :D
    At this rate I might have £5 by November ha ha!

    Evening everyone.
    I've been busy potting bits and bobs all week. I want a mahoosive surprise in November, but anything will be a bonus to be honest.
    Car tax and mot due next month so I've been stocking up cos I really don't know if or how I'm going to manage. I'll stick with the regular threads for ideas though.
    Have a great evening everyone

    Popped on to see what everyone was up to and it encouraged me to have a wallet rummage. Found 18p change from shopping today so potted it. :)

    Had fun goofing around Sainsbugs today with DD. She was being the mum and I was being the child....it was really funny and had her in stitches at times. Definitely made some fun memories!! :)

    Another £5 in the pot from another FB sale :j :j

    Oooo Mossy, that sounds like the kind of thing I do :rotfl: I always wanted one of mine to have a tantrum in the supermarket just so I could mimic the advert that used to be on tv, throw myself on the floor and have a massive paddy infront of them :D . . . unfortunately neither of them ever obliged, I think even as toddlers they knew not to mess with me :rotfl:

  • Hi everyone, I haven't been on much but have been potting whenever I can - although it is always small, never above a 50p.

    Was feeling a bit disheartened with my little pot the other day, I then realised it was only 1 month since I started and that it was feeling quite heavy. Considering the terrible month (money wise) I'd had, I felt that any money in the pot was a bonus and that when it comes to opening day, every little will help!

    I do hope I can put a few bigger coins in over the next few months and I would definitely appreciate some roadkill - I'm not having any luck with finding anything at the moment.

  • I've almost filled my tin up but I'm going to open it just to check if I've got one of the rare 50pences in it. I'm not sure if I should count it all up and put it in a separate bank account just so that at the end of the year I won't have a sackful of coins to carry to the bank. If I do bank it I think I'll have to cut up my debit card so I'm not tempted to "borrow" it and not put it back
  • 30p in the pot today - pot's about halfway full now, quite exciting!

    35p potted this morning. Went for a run and needed a drink, so popped into the garage on the way. It was cheaper to get a small bottle of milk than it was water.


    Wish someone could explain that. I am still recovering from having to pay nearly £2 for a bottle of water at the airport :eek:

    You will definitely be in trouble with Sue-UU :naughty: if you open the pot and spend the money.


    My tree looking well and happy as managing to keep up the £1 a day so far (so good) and still on my 2 cigs after dinner :j


    Hope you all have a super Sunday
