Over the weekend I was asked to clean a house as a special favour for a friend in need (don't usually work on the weekend).
When she paid me for it this aftrnoon,I potted £15 :j.

Hi everyone, I haven't potted a great deal overvthe summer. I had a lovely holidaybin France (no pot raiding!) & since then I've been mega busy and haven't had time to think about my pots much.
I have potted quite a bit of loose change into my shrapnel pot but my £1 coin pot and my plastic £5ers haven't seen much action.
I'm going to have a final push in these last few weeks!!

Another £2 coin in the tin last night along with a 50p and a 5p in the shrapnel tin

WHy is it, when there is only 1 - 2cm of room left in the tin, suddenly it turns into the blooming tardis and you can fit what feels like millions of pounds in them?? I swear those tins are not getting any fuller! :eek:

I need to get my fleabay money but the stupid fair has turned up and taken over the town so you can't get anywhere near the banks without walking till your legs fall off (ok I might be exaggerating slightly . . I really don't like the fair lol)

Well done on your potting Florence J! I hpe you will return to us in november to start again

Is it me or has Hickles not been in for a little while? come back Hickles!

We hopefully have someone coming to pick up the petrol lawnmower today so that should be another lovely £40 for the pot I shall now disappear and see if I can find anything else to sell.

I work in a bank, Im talking with 10000% truth, and they will continue to take for ever more, just like old £20, £10, and £5 notes. I still see these occasionally.



I still accept and will continue to do so (if there is any more floating about, but the next one after £1 will be the removal of the paper £10, no date given for this yet though)

I tried to bank one of these a few months ago without success.

Once something is officially withdrawn you're relying on the cashier's discretion, though in the short term it shouldn't be a problem. The lady I spoke to that wouldn't take the old £10 would still take the old £5.

Well today I have 11 (yes 11!!) £2 coins Soooooo Veeeeery Haaaaaaappy!!!!!!!!!

I also have a random 10p for the shrapnel tin

I hope all of you are well and from the looks of the posts you're putting on lately and the amounts you're saving then you're doing pretty darned well for sure! Not long now until that big day on, I think I'm right in saying 2nd of November, I can't see it from the app I’m on as I’m doing this first from my phone via speech to text then sending it to my PC email address. Keep up saving as much as you can folks, you’ll be well rewarded when you get all that cash out!!!!


So many thanks for keeping everything going so well, jakes-mum, and your secret is safe with me!



Great to see you HOME AGAIN Helen, sorry but I've just not been able to read your problems, but let's hope all will soon be ok with you.




Incidentally, Hubby & I am now the proud owners of a Great-Grand son (that sounds like a new car! :eek:) and thrilled to bits about it!!! He's a darling little boy called Oliver and looks just so beautiful, there really is no other way to describe it! :A He really is adorable and wonderful to cuddle!! Our DD is absolutely thrilled at having their first Grandchild!!!!!! :j:j

Another 3 x £2 coins for my pot today :j :j after that mammoth shortage at the beginning of the year I can't move for falling over them! My pot is not complaining though

Been doing a bit of christmas shopping and have joined a thread down on the christmas board to talk all things christmassy I am 3/4 finished with my shopping, just got DH and his parents to think of things for and to purchase Sister, BIL and dad's presents (where I know what i'm buying just haven't got round to buying it). Mum's cardigan is still in progress, i've got another 6 1/2 inches to crochet before I even start with the neckline area :eek: never ending cardigan!!
