I have been popping bits and bobs of change into a money box since the New Year & would like a challenger number if possible!
Thank you!
Welcome brokeapproaching30you'll have a fab time collecting all your pennies and loose change! Or even finding change on the side of the road
Must warn you though, it is addictive!!
Hope you've all had a fab weekend! Back to reality tomorrow now I've had my three days off

Hi all, hope everyone's ok. I've managed to pot £2.50 that I saved by using N$ctar points plus £1.04 roadkill and a handful of silver from my purse.

It's that time of the week again.
I've potted a £2 coin and 80p in change. It would have been more but I dropped 20p and cannot find it - think it is somewhere under the settee!
I've kept 4 pound coins in my holding pot in case needed before I go to the cash point tomorrow.
My house guest was off to get a Chinese takeaway earlier tonight as she'd been given £5 unexpectedly yesterday. I almost asked her to get me something, but I wasn't about to spend my £2 coin, and it would have taken most of the money I had.
So I have a bean pie cooking in the oven which was so easy to make and I'm off to eat it now

Morning Peeps
Wow, it sounds like everyone is doing REALLY well!! Keep it going Folks...
Sorry I haven't been around over the Weekend....I had a Weekend Course to attend and it was BRILLIANT but totally exhausting....
I Potted around £8-ish last night....I will be REALLY happy if I can continue to Pot at this rate....here comes the next £350!!
I have also made a commitment to myself not to buy ANY Scratchcards in the month of March....I'm not exactly addicted to them but it was starting to become a bit of a problem and it's just not worth it!! So none at all for me this Month....Which is good cause it means if I am tempted to buy one then I will put the money aside and simply put it in my Pot instead0 -
Good morning everyone:hello:
DreamerHelen - WOW! Amazing. :T:T Christmas lunch round at yours this year???
