    Morning all. I've resurrected my big S.P. from last year and am keeping DH's home made one for a holding pot. It's really too small and I don't like having to bank the cash from it every time it fills up. I don't like spending money on a new pot, it's better inside it. ;)

    Welcome to any new potters I may have missed. Enjoy yourselves saving. :D

    Hugs to Helen and everyone else who needs one.

    I was mightily pleased Lynne :D have just chased up my refund from the gas/elec people as they have raised my final gas bill but they are still waiting to confirm my electric reading which the lady on the phone said could take six weeks then a further two weeks to pay :eek: I wouldn't mind but it's £141! I'd quite like it back :(

    DH gave me a £2 coin last night as payment for his taxi back from the pub (aka, me going out and picking him and his mate up ;)) I tell him every time he goes, no £2 coin, no lift :rotfl:

    Am currently sat in the leisure centre while the kids swim (DD needs the practice for our holiday that neither of them have a clue about, we're trying not to tell them till the night before we go :rotfl:) so have some change to pot from that when I get home, right back to looking at more caravan weekends away :o I think I have a holiday addiction :o

    Evening all, hope all are well.

    Selene - wishes to your mum.

    Frugal week for myself and not that much spent. Had cheap pub meals today c/o Mitchells and Butlers, this time at a Sizzling pub.

    Potted 8 x £1 coins from the last few days and my pot is almost full. Probably next week will fill it and then I'll have to start another small pot for the final weeks.
    Not a single £2 coin for my pot this week - must try harder.

    Weather not bad here today, but we had plenty of rain yesterday!!

    Enjoy what's left of the weekend.

    Evening

    76p potted today.

    I have been to a jazz festival today. My friend choose to do it for their birthday. I hate jazz. Pumping music gives me toothache :(

    I hope everyone is well

    Hi all - tided out my handbag today after a day out to Cheltenham yesterday - 18p in the 5ps and under which go into money bags and 3 x £2 coins plus £3 x£1 coins too.

    All in the tin and now I realise I need change to take to a charity fundraiser event for animal rescue tomorrow - will stop at the cashpoint on my way there but its one of those events where all stallholders will need change - oops!

    I know I shall be eyeing up my friends money tin and will be after those £2 coins in change for my £10 if I have a go on the tombola :rotfl: I shall hopefully have some coins for the tin after the event.
    Sealed Pot Challenge number 8 Amount declared £365.50.

    In the interests of being MSE, the Book of Face has acquainted me to a very MSE storage solution: Schwartz glass spice/herb jars! The only problem I have is that I don't have enough and need more! I don't suppose any potters on here know where I can find them (preferably for free or very cheaply)? I need empty jars, not ones with spices / herbs inside, so the supermarkets are no good.
