    How does everyone define what to put in their pots?

    Every two days, I put whatever change I have in my pockets. It's building up fairly quickly!

    Mine's just small change left from shopping and the biggest coin in there will probably be 20p unless anyone else has dropped something bigger into it - I have mine sat in a very prominent position right next to the phone, so DS (and anyone else, for that matter) feels the need to contribute any copper dross :rotfl: Being on a really tight budget means not much change here and I prefer savings to be in the actual bank, but my change collection gets given away as a gift at Christmas, so the sealed pot challenge was ideal for me :T Saves dipping into it around July, like I usually do :o
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    welcome Airplanepics- some put any change in they have in their purse/pockets in to their pot at the end of each day and/or pin money, any change you find (kids rooms and the back of sofas are good for this) it's up to each person to decide what they want to put in. can i just ask, your name, do you collect plane pics?

    It's good to see what everyone else is doing.

    So far, in 5 days, I have £20 in pound coins, and probably £5 worth of silver coins!

    Looking forward to Christmas - will add it to the Christmas bonus from work, and then book a nice holiday I think..!

    Happy Saving! :-)

    What's the Mad house?!

    I'm an aviation photographer, and I work with Private Jet's - so the name is quiet fitting I think! :-)

    Who did you fly with?

    Hi Airplanepics, Who do I fly with? Why, my hubby of course!!!:rotfl::A

    "The mad house" is pretty much anywhere where crazy chat, happenings and the like are going on. My son often picks up the phone and says "a resident from the mad house speaking" He's not wrong either!
