  • Wow, just checked how much I'm up to and it's £6.40. Can't believe how quickly it all adds up. Will begin a new pot on 1st January to see how much I can save over the year. But so far, my 'practice' is going well (only started 15 October). Actually felt guilty handng over a 20p the other day when my sister needed it for parking and it was the only coin I had in my pocket!

    Another one in the pot today. Was hoping to put more in there after the Christmas shopping today, but opened purse only to find a very lonely 20p. But soon put it out of it's misery and added it to the jar with all it's little shiny new friends :D

  • Alas, I've had no new friends to add to my current pot ... :rolleyes:
