    Hi all,

    A paltry 50p potted recently. However, it's 50p more than nothing, isn't it?!

    x

    Hello to everyone else by the way, please excuse my ramblings! Good potting all round - and you're right, Vicky, anything is better than nothing! That 50p might take you to a nice round total when opening day arrives!!! :) xxx

    Edit: Just checked post office and they are buying back at 1.36 euros to the £ so if your exchange rate in 2015 was equal or more than that, you'll not lose any money changing them back :) (of course, check for any fees for buying back as some places like to be cheeky and charge you!)

    Just seen this, thank you! We definitely got them at at least 1.4, I think it was about 1.43, so it looks like I might be onto a winner! I might make some no-commitment enquiries and see who wants to offer me the best deal ;) xxx

    All this holiday talk is making me excited - 2 weeks and I'll be off to France. A short visit to my brother in Brittany then off to the Loire for a few days. Croissant, French bread, coffee, wine............yum yum. :)

    My little pot still needs feeding until then, so I have £4.35 to pop in today. Enjoy the rest of the week everyone. :)

    Quick check in for me to say that I transferred £58.96 from my pot to the bank and just want to keep track of it. Updated my signature too.
