    Started my pot with a £2 coin found on the way back from the school run last night. If that isn't a sign I don't know what is! Can't remember the last money I found in the street...:j

    No problem TF it's having that money saved.....it goes to your head, just like mine!! :rolleyes:

    As for the counting of the cash, I wouldn't bother, far better to have a surprise when you take it out. Good luck with saving as much as possible!
