  • morning all. I'm worries about my pot in that I am adding ALOT to it (seems there are alot of 50p's & £2 coins about!). Possibly a reaction to saving for the forst time ver but its partly the DFW in me thinking I should be putting the money to CC's!!

    Hi everyone, Just thought I'd let you know that I'm going to give up coffee for Lent, so every coffee that I would have bought means another £2.00 in the pot instead. Hurrah!!!

    Hi sparky.I've had a cleaning and baking day so haven't been on much sorry.
    Can't be bad work though if you've got time to check in lol :)


    Hiya molly,
    Had to sneak into an out of the way office with the blinds closed, so the boss didn't catch me, the old goat!, also working an extra 4 hours tomorrow, so there will be another debt with a dent in it when I get paid next week

    Ah, I've been in sucky work too Sparky. Flaming freezing again today...


    I'm only doing it to try to get the debt repayed as past as possible, I've also found 2p on the floor in work, more for the "pot", plus the no spend Feb is doing well so far

  • I added another ££6 pound coins i found in hubby's jeans this morning. My pot is just for £1 and £2 coins but the toddler was watching me put them in and wouldnt stop moaning until i let him put some pennies in it, so it now has 2x 50p a 10p and a 2p in it as well grrrrr. :rotfl:

    Im tending to put nothing in for days and then a few pounds at once. Still not sure i'll reach my target.

    I work in a college and I'm always finding money. Apparently the younger students don't want 1p, 2p and 5p coins so they don't pick them up if they drop them. It all goes into my change bottle - which is currently about 2/3 full.

    I finally got my new terramundi pot and have put in my first £25 which I'd been saving until it arrived. At last I can properly join in the challenge!!

    I had to pay for parking in town today. It cost me a pound, but I found three quid in the pay machine. Someone must have forgotten to take their change, but as there wasn't a soul about it's gone into my pot.:j
