    Haven't been about much put my pot is getting heavy at the minute and I can't wait to open it in 8 weeks time! I was aiming for €200 but I think there will be around €150 in it, not to be laughed at :)

    Hi all, I potted around £5 in cash yesterday. Haven't had internet for two whole days so I've just caught up with you.

    Hugs and congrats to all.

    Hope everything's all right in the Sparky household.

    Gosh,I have had a big sort out of the pennies this afternoon :money:.
    I gathered up all the shrapnel floating around in my handbag (£6.99),September roadkill (£1.50 after potting the tenner the day I found it on Argos floor :j,and kids claiming their share),£2.75 after another rummage in handbag cos I could still hear rattling :rotfl:,and £1.92 found around the house over the last few weeks.Total £13.16 was ready to pot.Then I realised my October roadkill was in amonst that lot.So I took that out (11p,to be potted at end of the month with rest of Oct roadkill),leaving £13.05 to pot.Very happy with that.

    Oooohhhh,November is soooooooo close!!!

    Evening


    £3.07 potted today


    Following yesterday's shopping trip to Boots, I went again today and bought my Sister's, Brother's and SIL's Christmas presents and 2 presents for my friends kids and a present for myself because it was free. Only my Mum to buy for now, and my Sister's birthday before the end of the year.


    Back to work tomorrow.

    Hi all , can I join late in the day please, I have my pot that I have been filling since new year but it would be nice to have an added incentive.
    Looking forward to seeing how much is in my tin this year.

    Morning all,

    It's been aaaages (like months :eek:)...since I last visited, but just wanted to pop in and say I am still filling my little pot. I definitely won't have £100's in mine, but whatever I have to put towards my Christmas shopping will be fabulous.

    Not too far away from opening time now. This will be my first year, so I can't wait to break mine open!

    Raided my purse this morning and found another £2 for my pot :j
