    Just got back from 10 days in Majorca with my OH, so going to read back through the thread now.

    Evening everyone :hello:

    £1 potted today.

    Noticed that they've put in one of those coin counter machines in our local supermarket. Now I know they charge a fee, but I read the small print (thinking it would be about 3 - 5%) and it was actually 8.9%. Obviously I wouldn't consider using it - what's the bank for???! - but working out that I'd saved £130+ last SPC so the amount I'd have lost using a machine like that would be £11.50 :eek: Horrific!!!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    Chutney86 - I like Majorca and wouldn't mind a cheap break there. Trying to be frugal this year with holidays and counting the days off until mid-October. If something at a silly price pops up within the next 4 weeks, then a possibility.

    Finally managed to get 15 x £1 coins (converted cashback) and potted.
    Hoping for more later.

    Hi all. I potted 1.91 this morning before going for an MRI scan and just potted 20p from the cash I took for bus fare. Had to have a taxi back and it was cheaper than the bus!

    I hope everyone is well, Hugs to those who aren't.

    Evening

    I have been potting but haven't posted for a few days. I have had a busy bank holiday weekend and even had a smallish win on the lottery :D

    I potted £4.07 and £3.26 in the last few days.

    I hope everyone is well

    Evening Potters,

    A very good day for me. 20p roadkill, £12.75 from some expenses that have long-since absorbed and £29.45 from some fleabay sales I finally managed to sort out.

    I have been slowly potting but nothing of any great consequence, bits and bats.

    Carry on all.
