    That's a great tip Frogletina!

    Well it's been a slow start from me as December is the first month on my very reduced budget. But whilst looking for a pen I knew I had somewhere, I found £2.60 in a bag I've not used since the summer! So it is now happy in its pot.

    Merry Christmas all. May you have a calm and stressfree time

    I don't pot anything less than a 50p coin now. You could have a holding pot/purse. If you keep small coins to save in there you can swap for larger coins before putting them in your sealed pot.

    Great idea! Thanks 😊

    I potted £1 yesterday. It may divide opinion where it came from.......I made my 6 year old give me a pound from his money box as I caught him purposely breaking a Christmas decoration. He’d been told goodness knows how many times to leave the tree alone and when all went quiet I knew mischief was being made. It was one of those trying to hide it as soon as the door opened so he knew it was wrong.

    We are walking a very fine line at the moment between being good and bad :(
