january NSD 1/200 - 
            Oh pants!!! I've been putting change in the pigsback piggy since Sunday and now when I go to see how much is in it so I can keep a weekly tab....I've gone and lost the bloomin key!!!!!!

Anyway I've had a root around in it to see roughly how much is in there and I estimate so far there is £3.13 so I'll add all the money going into it to that estimated balance and take it from there!!!
Then I'll spend the money on buying a hammer to try and get the money back out!!!:rolleyes: (Would that be a paradoxical timewarp scenario?):o2024 Challenges- Grocery Budget (January £0/£300)

            Fab idea! COUNT ME IN.
Hmm, think I'll start with the Jam Jar to start off with.
Have just emptied the 2 change jars I normally use for silver & coppers as I know nothings gone in there since the end of June. Coppers went to my son (only a tiny bit more than his pocket money for the week) & the silver will do for the schools Summer fayre on friday. Then I searched the house for change (normally OHs change dump piles), & my bag for the change from todays shopping, the result:-
£2.70pYou cant take a step forward with both feet on the ground0 - 
            Well, I couldn't wait and checked just now how much is in the piggy so far and I'm shocked!! OH gaveme the contents of his pockets last night and I added quite a few 20ps today as well and the grand total is £7.79!!WOW!
Won't be able to keep this up or I'll end up with no money to buy things with!
