10p roadkill.... from the dogs bed. Second time I've found change in bizarre places. Where is it coming from?? We dont use cash very often!!

EverTheOptimist

£3 potted in the last few days. £2 I found in an old handbag and £1 down the sofa on OH side so finders keepers!!! 

I’m going to redo my budget over the weekend and review my general and grocery spending to see if I can reduce it at all. 

Have a great weekend every one.   

Hettyhound

All I ever find in my dogs bed is ripped up bits of cardboard!  She loves the inside of a loo roll to shred and spread for me to pick up 🐶.  Sue just to put your mind at rest about the tooth, I did see this one come out while we were watching the Strictly results show.  Lucky it did before he went to bed so the fairy could do her stuff! 😉

No no no, mummytummy, you said you would like a specific higher No, but as that one had already gone I gave you the nearest to it, No 11!! You've been promoted along with most members. 🥰🥰🥰

Didn't we do well with the Grand Total eh! ❤️ Yet I'm not even able to put it on my signature!!!! 😡 So maddening, they properly messed everything like that up!!  I'll have keep an eye or two on them in the future! 👁️👁️

Very many thanks, little-sweetie.  However, it's all of us that get it to that amazing sum!! 😍😍 

Isn't it wonderful, Hetty!! 🥰 More added to your pot?! Fantastic, keep it up! 

I thought you'd be chuffed with it, Ant, didn't we do well eh!!! 🥰 

You might not use cash often, LivingInTheBlack, but you need to have a word with your dog, failing that, is he trying to tell you he too wants a pot!! 😂🤣

Excellent potting ETO!!! Bad luck your OH! 😂🤣 All the best with your budget, I hope it comes down on your side. ;)You have a great weekend too.

Good of your dog to change over the loo rolls, Hetty!  Well, sort of. Ah well, at least you had the proof of the toothy peg, no doubt you have with all the rest he's lost too, I just couldn't help wondering.

Have a really GREAT WEEKEND folks! KEEP VERY SAFE and SAVING!  😊

Evening all.

That's a brilliant total, all things considered.  Thank you for all your work putting it together again Sue_UU

I'm going to use the Plum app in lieu of putting money in the tin as I don't anticipate getting any £2 coins for the forseeable future. Last year's are in bags waiting to go into the coin counter at my nearest HSBC when Mum and I go Xmas shopping a week on Monday - we've got a slot booked at 8am in M&S and then we'll do the other bits we need to and hopefully be home by about 10am - and they will cover my Xmas shopping this year and other bits I'll be paying for, before pay day on the 18th.  I'm keeping the £1s and 50p's at home to keep as change for the window cleaner and bin cleaners, and I need a bit of cash to give as Christmas boxes.

AMAZING.  Well done to everyone,  what a great amount in a not so great year

Wow, what a brilliant total for 2020 despite all of the Covid-19 challenges!! But what a bar it sets for 2021

I've potted a bit over the last couple of weeks, ranging from 1p roadkill to a £27something pot from an unexpected win on a local charity thing!

It has been wet and miserable here for the last few days, which always makes life feel worse than it is. Sadly its looking like we will have to make the dreaded decision to put our lab to sleep this week She has a splenectomy in July, but the cancer has come back with a vengeance and she is now struggling. Its such a hard decision to make, especially when she is intermittently wagging (and still will do anything for food), but the other 98% of the day is in a bit of a state

Makes me not want to have animals (i say this everytime we get to the end of one of my pets lives, and its time to pull up my big girls panties. I hate it!)

Hope you're all doing okay x

Thoughts with you @franlow01 - There’s not much anyone can say to make things better at times like this. We have to treasure every day we have with them.
I was wondering  @Sue-UU - Could I reduce my target to 500 pounds this year? Maybe it’s just the expensive time of year but I think 500 seems more achievable than my initial target of 600. The target is only a ‘nice to have’ anyway and I’ll be pleased with whatever I end up with.

Hi all,

Thought I would check in - today I used cash (remember that concept) to pay for parking in town...got £8.50 change (4x £2 coins which will go into my terramundi)  and also set a reminder for 28/10/21 to open the sealed pots ! (If I haven't already banked my £2 coins).

Take care all x
