    Lynsey it was our first time to Majorca but we both liked it, so might look at last minute deals later in the year

    Hi there, bit late to the party but may I join?

    Haven't a clue how much I might save with a few bits here and there so I won't set a target but will just aim to stash away a few quid. I used to save my coppers as a kid and ended up with hundreds of pounds over the years. See how we go!

    Potted a £2.00 coin yesterday. Not potted much this week :o I've just started a diet and noticed that I'm not spending as much (on food and snacks) for work - hence the lack of change. Losing weight will probably save me a lot of money:rotfl:

    Evening

    45p potted today, it would have been more but someone at work is leaving so I had to put some money in her collection.

    Hope everyone is ok.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all and the weather is picking up.

    Pollygarter - welcome and good luck with your "potting".

    Potted 2 x £2 coins and 2 x £1 coins. A bit slow this week, so I need to "get my skates on" before the weekend!!
