    17p potted. It would have been 20p; but my friend didn't have enough money for something. I gave him 10p for it and in return, I got 7 coppers...

    two lovely shiny £2's for the pot today - almost overcome with excitement getting 2 in my change (I need to get out more....)
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Morning all.

    2 x £2 coins potted here also. Along with a 50p and 2 x 20p coins = £4.90 potted.

    Lots of sun due, but cloudy here in the North East at the moment.
    Hope it's a "factor 15 day" later. lol

    AlwaysHappy - it's drizzling here now!!
    Off to Ikea soon anyway for free coffees.
    Fingers crossed for the afternoon......................... or perhaps even tomorrow. lol

    I've just noticed I need about £10 to get to £600. I'll hopefully get that today (more fingers crossed).

    Aww come downstairs to a pile of coppers and 5p's that DH has scraped together from all his hidey holes after I was moaning last night that my pot was at the struggling to get change in but still has room to pot more :D 66p in the pot BUT still a bit more room in there! (and a hairclip that I just dropped whilst trying to work out the remaining room :o)

    EDIT: Just been out on my daily Mr W run for my free paper and lego and got a lovely £2 coin for the £2 coin tin and 31p more in change :D

    Gosh Lynsey - you are doing well can't believe you've got so much in already. I haven't been keeping a total which will make for a nice surprise, may be next year I'll keep a total!!
    Jakes-Mum you are doing great as well - how exciting to be getting at the full stage already. I really hope that mine is full by the half way stage.

    AlwaysHappy - thanks and I'm ahead of my target. But that suits me as I hate to fail and wasn't too sure of that £1000 target.
    I'll slow down in the 2nd half, but hoping for a bit more before then.

    Got what I wanted and changed a few notes for small spends - need more notes now. lol

    Potted 4 x £2 coins, 2 x £1 coins and a 50p = £10.50 potted and over £600.

    Whatever you aim is, keep going and try and achieve it.
