    That's a great total :T:T:T:beer::beer::beer:

    I think I potted a couple of £2s this week - went to Edinburgh for the day (yes, really) with my Mum on Thursday with some cheap train tickets and pretty sure I brought a couple back with me.

    I did this but it took three days overnight travel up and day travelling back but I got a whole day in Edinburgh, I went via National express, The Christmas market was lovely, and quite big I had a good couple of days.

    Actually managed to put a note in the pot today. Did it before the final bout of Christmas shopping. Just got to deliver presents, clean the house now...
  • Not sure if I've asked already or not but can I include my payouts from swagbucks and qmee in my total?

    Great total for last year everyone. Brilliant news :T

    Sorry to hear about your grandmother DreamerHelen, thinking of you and your family xx

    Managed to pot some pounds over the weekend and DH gave me a load of 2p and 5p coins he was storing as well. My tin feels quite heavy already. :beer:

    We got cheap train tickets on trainline.com so it cost £84 for the two of us instead of about double that each. A little over 3 hours in either direction which really isn't bad; we arrived at 11.12am and left at 7.35pm.

    It's payday tomorrow, and I have survived without raiding my holding pot too much. I have potted what remained which was about £8.20 in silver. My pot doesn't feel heavy enough for my liking :(
