So far I'm using a Drinking Chocolate drum with a plastic lid, it's a fairly large one and serves the purpose quite well, easy to make a slit in too. Only one drawback - couldn't properly clean it because of it being cardboard - and the smell of chocolate is so.....corrrrr

just found a lottery scratchcard on my desk that must be months old that had won £4 - just took it up to the shop and it was still valid...so, straight in the pot!
Figure there must be just under £30 in there now, and I've only had it a week - wish i'd started this a long time ago instead of keeping change in my pocket that ended up in the coke machine in work!
Edit - that's not to say i was spending £30 a week on coke! But, it must have been £5, give or take, and I need it more than Mr. Cola does!
Welcome chal,
You'll be well looked after on this forum, and everyone is very friendly, they'll help to keep you on the straight & narrow :A. Hopefully DFW one day like we all want to be

Technically I'm a MFW (only debt is my mortgage) but I think the DFW forum is a lot more relevant to day-to-day life for money-saving and money-optimisation ideas!Virtual sealed pot challenge #036 - 19/01/09-1/12/09 = £483.71/£750

Hi All,
Everyone ok?
I managed another few coins today - since im so rubbish and want to count it all the time (and dont want to buy a money counting jar) im thinking that if i dont know what ive put in then i cant mentally add it up.
Wish me luck, lol0 -
Good luck puzzledbubbles.I keep peeking to see if I can see anything.It is starting to feel heavier so that can only be a good thing
How is everyone this evening? not too traumatised by the earthquake I hope lollost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013
