  • Hi all

    lost my mojo for a while and neglected my pot :o but I found it again :D

    Have potted 2 plastic fivers this morning. Had them sitting in my purse so to make myself feel better I potted them both.

    Hope you are enjoying your weekends all

    Good morning everyone
    I potted 75p this morning but just found £3 in my jacket pocket that has been there since pre Christmas. I think it's done it's time and have potted them - albeit in a separate pot 'cause they are pound coins - thank you Sue-uu. My pig won't get any fuller but I'll swap them once the new ones are out and then they can feed the pig.
    Take care

    Afternoon all.

    Hope everyone is well. I'm back on track now after Christmas. Just potted £10 from purse and £4 change DD owed me in change from music lesson.
    What an awful wet day. Been out for breakfast with a friend who I haven't seen for ages but paid on card so couldn't pot any change.
    Happy Sunday to all xx :)

    Could you winkle the coins out using a knife before it gets any fuller and change them into notes or something? It's worth a try. I'm putting my round pounds into a normal money box until the new ones are issued :)


    Just popped in to declare 5p found in a ticket machine (first for ages) plus a round pound for this week.


    Have a lovely afternoon all x

  • Me again lol.....

    Decided to do penny a day and use Westie983's chart to track the amount. Going to try and pot that weeks money every Sunday. I've paid £4.09 today which is 4 weeks worth. I promise to try and do this as wrote the amount each Sunday on my calendar as a reminder and shall cross it off when potted.

    Get me being organised lol.

    Over the last couple of years have gone off the boil MSE wise so going to try really hard.:T:T:T
