    I have 3 £2 coins in my purse, debating whether to put them in pot (as know i will be upset if i spend them) or keep them for beer money Friday night (already have £30 left in bank!). :rotfl:
    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month

    lol, not scared, you just gave me a "gentle" nudge and i wont count it again.

    I dont really have any plans for the fag money - its about £15 - £20 a week so the current plan is to leave it in my account and then see where i am in a couple of weeks maybe i could make sure i put £5 a week into another pot and buy something nice in a few weeks

    Not sure really, lol:rotfl:

    Mine go in a seperate jar.This one is see through 'cos I love to see them.I have saved £72 since end of November.I'm really sad though, I take them out and pile them high just to look.Can't bring myself to spend them either which is great.I was going to cash them in but know that if they're notes I'd find then easy to spend.
    I went to the sales with them in a bag incase I saw something I wanted.Saw lots of stuff but still brought them home Lol.
    I know alot of others on here stick them in their sealed pots.

    Id definately do this.There has to be a reward for doing so well :T
    I have a wish list of stuff I want.When I have spare cash I will check my list to see if theres anything I can afford to treat myself too or whether to pay off a little more debt :)
