Hi ladsmadd, it's great to see you popping in, and what a weight for your pot already!!! :j That post office is so mean! :mad: Though when you say "they stopped giving us change" how exactly do you??

Sue-uu, My nearest bank to work is a 20 min bus ride away, so have always gone to post office over the road for change when needed maybe once a month. They changed hands over the past year, & the new owners say that since we don't bank with them they can no longer offer us change when needed. So now I just use change from pot to keep till in change.
I do love it when someone comes in with bags of change the bank will not take in one go asking if I can swap for notes if not to much trouble :j


Have potted £4 in £2 coin pot and 75p in small change pot this weekend.

Hi All

I haven't been on for ages and don't think I'll be able to catch up with all the posts I've missed so I hope everyone's well, or on the road to recovery!

Things have been a little hectic here with exams etc etc etc and I've had to borrow from my christmas pot for 2 emergencies. I have started potting for christmas again this morning and have put 3 x £2 coins in there.

No idea how much is in the holiday pot as I refuse to touch that one!

I'll try and pop on weekly now to keep me inspired!

Hey there,

First time on here. Could I join please.

Have actually been doing this with the other half since Christmas 2013. Not a clue how much is in our pot at the moment as we both just drop £1 or so in whenever we have it in our wallet/purse. Will certainly be interesting to see how much we have come Novemeber.

Cheers,

Matt

Had our 2nd baby -a boy called sam in mid april, he was 5 weeks early! Spe t 2.5 weeks in hospital waiting for him to learn to eat....oh raided the pot to pay for parking while visiting, so it was nearly empty till I found an old purse with £6+ inside so it is partially refilled again now

Congratulations. and I'm glad he's OK and home now :j

Morning everyone
What a night!
We had pizza and beer to watch the Eurovision Song Contest ( I know!) and my brother wanted to pay half towards the beer ( I was feeling generous and said no, so he said put it in your pot!) I have never put that much in before and was really hesitant, so he put it in! I screamed out loud as he did it! Yohoo! :beer:

Forgot to mention it was £10!!!

Aww what a lovely brother

Congratulations to you too :T

Potted about 50p yesterday after a trip down to Mums.

Sue I'm doing the yoga to ease my joints as all the walking is making me a bit stiff. I'm really enjoying it though, so I'll probably carry on after the marathon
Happy Monday everyone, we have lovely sunshine here, hope you do too

Just wanted to say... Haven't watched Eurovision since Buck's Fizz won it I think( showing my age now!). But the beer helped, it was a laugh! My pot enjoyed it too!

Afternoon all.

ChevalierTialys - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Good luck with your savings.

Pickle29 - I like the voting, especially the political voting. But tame this year it seems?
At least that's what I've been told.

Potted £5.40 including 2 x £2 coins.

Thanks for the welcome from you both. Hopefully this will help give me the push to remember to put money into the pot. I actually have two pots on the go. One for me and the other half which gets 50p, £1 and £2 coins. Also have one for the son who gets all the shrapnel. Not that he needs it seeing as the family spoils him rotten.:D
