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 dealxxx

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.SPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.830 -
