    Would that be this side of Christmas 2013, Buffy???! Just a thought, but if you'd sorted out your money you wouldn't have needed another pot!

    (It's ok folks, we're used to her!) Well done on the £2. At least you're getting summat right! ;)

    Hi there, skilly! Actually you're late today, well for you it's late. Good to see you though and well done with the £5er.

    Ooooo 35p for me. :D

    I've decided that anytime I spend any cash the change will go in the pot. Hopefully that will help it all add up. And means I will have to stick to budget too. :D
