    Never heard of it, what is it?

    Kind of blogging site and money is earned each time viewed, commented on etc. I don't know how reliable it is and didn't want to waste my time. ...

    I've been steadily potting silver coins this week, including some DH booty. Every little helps, according to Mr T*sco!! :D

    Taken £79 out in silver...yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!! That, along with £104 out of my £1 a day challenge pig makes a grand total of £183 for spends!!

    Well done on your savings Gilly41! (though your SPC number is still your old number, on your sig! Sue will be after you with a broom ;)) don't forget to pop your amount saved into your sig next to your new number so Sparky doesn't miss it off the sheet come count up day :D

    some shrapnel in the pot for me today, forgot to count it . . . or I might have counted it and forgotten how much it was . . . I can't remember which :rotfl:

    I am currently the words most amazing mum, DS just got his birthday present a month early (darn you mobile companies and your early upgrades :rotfl:) we have finally got rid of that god awful blackberry piece of rubbish he insisted on, that I couln't even figure out how to unlock and now has a shiny new iphone 4s (yes I know, spoilt much!) so he's currently playing around with it like its the worlds greatest toy :rotfl:

    It reminds me a bit of dooyoo, but not so helpful lol! It seems to be about building up connections with people. People do seem to be making money. However, I've spent probably easily 2 hours and have walked away with $1.57. It's going to take me a long time to pay off that credit card at this rate lol! ;)

    No potting, because there's been no spending. ;)

    After 3 nights at an hour each I'm on $5.79; I won't be expecting money soon. It is keeping me from playing with money; I get a bit obsessed.


    Paid a years car insurance a month early and saved myself £30 :) go me

    My counting jar has decided to reset itself but I have got about £12 in there. Have some pounds in my bag which I hope to be potting this weekend if I don't need it.

    50p clunked in the pot today so all good. I love it when I manage at least one coin a day and hate those days when no rattling occurs. Everyone is doing really well - lets hope we can keep this going.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
