    Hello

    I just potted todays change, £5.20. I am off work for the rest of the week, so not sure what effect that will have on my spending. I need to get some tyres for my car but have no other plans to spend,

    I genuinely didn't mean anything untoward and my "natural" way of posting is in a jolly and jokey type way, which seems as though it didn't come across in that manner. :(

    Anyway, 50p potted today. Feeling virtuous as the tin is getting heavier. :D

    I meant to say, Sue and Sparky. That sounds like an awfully big job, however hopefully it will make next years count up easier for you guys. :)

    £1 in my (not quite sealed) pot today and shrapnel in DD's charity box

    I opened SPC6 with a tin opener and have kind of just closed it over till I get to the £1 shop for a new one....hence the *not quite sealed* bit :D
