    12p found down the back of the sofa late last night. I was up early to book my £9.50 Sun Holiday so thinking I may declare my pot 2 weeks early and have a really special weekend, we will see what the rest of the year holds (rumours about redundancies at my work).

    £1.06 potted. It turns out I have a bit more disposable income then I thought until payday (or at the very least my expenses are covered) so I can pot again!

    Of course you can, welcome to the thread.
    Sue will be along soon to give you a number, pop that in your sig so she can keep track of you easily.
    Then read through the first post and find your self a tin or pot to put your money in.

    I've bunged £20 in my pot this week, have decided to separate my overtime money from our normal account as well. Luckily I get it paid in two different amounts so once a month I can transfer my o/t money into a different account. That is going to be our new boiler/new kitchen fund. Not sure if this counts as potting or not. It's the money I make doing extra as needed hours at work and the new job share of the after school club that started this year.

    In a world that has decided that it's going to lose its mind, be more kind my friend, try to Be More Kind
