    Brilliant to see how everyone is doing!!I just put small bits of change in mine at the mo as we are a bit broke!!Rubbing off nicely on the kids though[who always seem to have more cash than me ggggrrrr] when they come in on the evening they give me their bits of shrapnel .May start hanging around the youth club on the corner as they seem to hate small change and i always find some when walking the dog around there!!Good luck to all of you .

    Poppety, welcome to the sealed pot challenge and £800? WOW! £800 cash in a pot? My £50's sounding really pathetic next to that but I'm just too mean to manage any more than that :rotfl:

    Phil the Pig got a few pence today and I have wiped him out of my spending diary so I have no way of knowing what's in him at all now. I'll continue to weigh him regularly just so I know he is getting fed :D Going to make a money tree now, and see if it will grow.
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.
