That's horrid . Have you spoken to the school?

Didnt mean to give wrong impression i meant my own ds,dd age 12 and 14 they told me the machine at school only took coins turnsout it takes notes as well lol

The father in law carried them down (sue-uu) and opened them up for me; shook the money out took photographs and walked off lol!


I know how much is in them now but not all money bags are full (but very close) and so I will try and finish the filling with abit of swappsies with colleagues and declare by Thursday morning.


To be honest I'm a little upset as I didn't get as much as I thought I would and I am angry that I would have been much closer had someone not had sticky fingers but I'll get over it I'm sure. My other half just said - well I know what you've been doing with £50 a month ha ha! I'll declare fully on Thursday!

Hi all, I'd like to declare my total as I opened the tin last week when I did the Christmas month budget and needed to know how much was in there.

:rudolf: #083 £90!! :rudolf:

I'm really chuffed with that as it is an increase on last year. It will help to pay for some of our Christmas treats. Should be able to get our Christmas tree, some new decorations and even a bit of the Christmas food shop with that. :xmastree:

On another exciting note I got the results back for my first Uni assignment. I got 72% :j :dance: Lots of room for improvement and areas I want to work on, but I'm pretty pleased with myself!!

Enjoy your tin opening everyone!! :T

Might weigh mine as well

Not long now , I am hoping for enough to pay for 4 adults and 2 children to go to the Pantomine, will need about £68.50 for a family ticket, plus two adult tickets at £22.50 each, so £113.50 altogether, fingers crossed.

Fingers crossed for you

£1.24 for me today

£4.40 potted tonight.

A big welcome to all of our new potters, good luck with your saving.

Hugs to all who need one.

NB everyone!
Unlike sparky I have not been able to take any banked amounts from your sigs, I'm trusting that you'll all be able to give me the entire sums you've saved when you declare on the 27th. Thanks a lot folks.


It's ok, elly, that was obviously a misunderstanding by Glitterbaby. I understood what you meant hence saying what I did. Kids will be kids sadly, but hopefully they'll get better as they grow up and try to make ammends.

Ah, try not to be upset, Hicks, though I do understand many of us have hopes for more, but you were dealt a really rotten blow after that rotten [STRIKE]swine[/STRIKE] blighter took yours so early into the year. :mad: Still be so terribly proud of what you've achieved. I can't wait to find out what it is!!! :j
