    Hi Sue, sorry I have been AWOL but lots of stuff going on. Glad your hol was brilliant. We were on holiday too for most of last week so feeling very relaxed! I have been potting bits and bobs here and there but little spare cash to pot, unfortunately and absolutely NO road change at all :eek: To give the savings a boost I will see if I can find anything to fleabay. I really do want to meet my target and only 10 weeks to go :eek: crumbs.....

    I have missed loads happening on the thread so am furiously trying to catch up!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon all.

    Hope you are all enjoying the weekend.

    Potted a £2 coin and 3 x £1's.
    That's it for the week and I'm going for another £25 (or more) next week and the week after. Then steadily for the last 8 weeks to the end.
    I'll then have around 10kg of coins to weigh in. lol
