    Hi Sue and everyone else and a Happy New year to you all. I'd like to join again this year, didn't manage to save much at all last year.
    I'd like to save for Christmas this year as I had another son in October so have 3 boys to buy for now.

    Evening

    We haven't had a word of the day this year yet Sue, my [STRIKE]partners in crime[/STRIKE] very professional colleagues are having family problems, one of them isn't in work, and the other is sitting in a quiet room incase he needs to make urgent phone calls so I am - in effect - home alone :( It no fun dropping random words into conversation when I am talking to myself :D:D

    £2.92 potted today.

    Decided today that I will keep putting change in the bottle but as a year won't fill it, and it'll be a touch much to start adding it up as I go along, I will still do it but only really keep tabs on my £2/sealed tin. With that in mind, £5 went into it today. M&S nicely gave me £4 in £2s last night and I had a £1 in my pocket from work which I forgot to put in my purse.

    £1.20 in shrapnel potted today, and £2 coin yesterday. I'm training my DD in the art of potting; she was amazed at my total last year, and is really motivated to beat it this year, so any change from her lunch money goes into the pot :D

    Hope everyone is ok?

    Oh wow! Are they both for $2 coins? I'm not sure if I should put notes in mine or change them into coins. I'm still getting use to the size of the thing! Although it's sooo pretty :p
