    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all.

    NobodysChild - nice find, I'd love to find a note and don't care how dirty it is!!

    Some great potting going on, but even if you can only pot the odd bit of change, it all adds up.

    3 x £1 coins potted today.
    I'd love to hit £300 by the end of Feb, but think mid-March is more realistic (unless the lottery feels generous)!!
    I like to set little goals, it works for myself.

    Thanks Lynsey! I was quite chuffed to find it! It was soaked, but dried quite quickly in my car!
    No debt left now. Saved £111 in our sealed pot last year. And £272.13 this year! Also we have £2300 in savings. :j

    SPC #468 :D Target £250 for 2015.

    Everyone seems to be doing really well. there is some great potting going on. I like the idea of targets Lynsey, but I am keeping my figures a surprise - £1.79 for my tin tonight. Its feeling lovely and heavy already which is fabulous, though I seem to remember last year it seemed to take forever to fill. A long way to go yet.....
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Evening everyone :hello:

    A £1 coin potted and loads of 5ps. Not sure how many, but must be at least 50p worth.

    Three £2 coins potted today plus 91p.

    Unexpected expenditure today was £3.50 for a taxi as I just missed my bus. I must get more organised, though to be fair, I was held up first by a neighbour wanting to borrow something and then by a phone call.

    On the plus side I found a new sealed tin in poundland so I will start using that tonight.

  • nothing potted today but I did get a little pay out from bank for another mistake they made so that's another payment off CC.
    2016 was both financially and emotionally. 2017 will be our year.
