    I've not been checking in much as I've been madly applying for jobs as redundancy looming in the new year but I've put a bit in here and there, not sure how much but todays was £1.56

    Three pennies found when tidying some boxes, so popped into my piggy.

    DH wants to save the little bit of cash we get from selling eggs to friends...It wouldn't be much, maybe £5 a week - is this allowed?
  • Just potted a little pot of €1.50 there - fab as I'm not planning on heading to shops today...

    I also know there is change in the car that hasn't migrated into my pot yet :D

    Should be fine Dizzy Imp as its not a lot different to potting money from selling your old items on ebay and FB (which I do constantly :D ) or a second job to make a little bit of extra money which from what I remember is also allowed :D

    DH just gave me a £2 coin :j :j he knows the way to my heart and DS has paid me his monthly £25 so thats also going in the pot once I change it up into coins :D. We DIDN'T go out for dinner last night :eek: I know!! we were shocked too :rotfl: so I said to DH 'does that mean I get to pot the £40 odd I just saved and he said 'well I suppose so, but do like last year and have a note pot for money like that' so i'll get £40 out the bank next week and thats going in our new (well reused as it wasnt a sealed one) note pot :D (still changing up DS's money as ill be upset if I dont have lots of change to count up next november :rotfl: )

    Hello everyone

    £1.20 potted today. Bit of a skint month so not much has gone in there recently. Don't want to count it as I want a surprise at the end.

    Still not been into town to buy a proper pot yet but will do after payday when I go Christmas shopping

    Louby

  • Evening,

    I keep potting away - I try and deal in cash anyway so this is good for me! And its more of a motivator to use cash rather than card!

    Hope everybody has had a good weekend
