    My pot has increased from 0.21p to quite a few pounds.

    As it is now December, I took from my purse what was left of the housekeeping and spends money and put it all in the pot. Not a sealed one as yet, but I hope to get one soon.

    This left me with just December's money. I've a fairly full fridge freezer and and cupboards so one month's money should be quite adequate and I'm looking forward to seeing if I have any left by the end of this month now. I've also got £18 worth of £2 coins - the last ones I have not banked from the £2 challenge so I think they will be going into the pot too.

    Flipping heck, jakes-mum, you spent nearly all day on the comps board???!!! :eek:

    :rotfl: I spend EVERY day on the comps board :rotfl:

    Unfortunately in December you've got Advents, dailies, instant wins AND end date comps to do each day! (There's also weeklies and extra entry comps but I had to draw the line somewhere :eek:) so until the 24th December I will probably be dedicating a good 10 hrs a day to the boards :o

    DON'T take it up people! The wins are addictive and it takes over your life! :eek: :rotfl:

    No pennies yet today, don't have time to shop :rotfl: :rotfl:

    I have an empty mason jar, would it be bad for me to cut a hole in the lid? It's gathering dust but 'might come in handy'.
