    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    So I decided to Pot a MASSIVE (for me anyway) £8.30 :D


    It means being careful with my money until I get some more on Monday....but it still leaves me with £20 for the Weekend and I have most of the Food that I'm going to need for the Weekend...so I should be just fine....


    So I'm feeling really pleased with myself tonight.... :)

    Back to potting my change at the end of the day and found my pot is almost full, I can still get some in if I tip it as I put the coins in. I hadn't realised it was so full as DS has been the one emptying my holding jar of everything except 50p's and putting them into the pot. I've known for a while that it was getting heavier but never realised it was so close to being full :D
    My next mission is to buy a tin opener to get into my pot!
