    Been having a sort out this week and have found a lot of change around so the pot got it before I could put it in my purse. It swallowed £5 amazing what you can find when tidying. Happy saving all

    snap moneytree,
    I decided to have a clear out as i have had to take a few days off work cos my daughter has suspected swine flu. :rolleyes:
    I started one room at a time and when i got to the store cupboard (what i call the junk room), I very nearly walked away and gave up but i found £5.00 note in a very old handbag and 3.68 in change around the cupboard:D. Was amazed. Think next week I will try cleaning out under the stairs as there are lots of old coats etc in there and u never know. Pot is already getting heavy :beer:

  • Evening everyone,

    A stone and a half? Brilliant Jess, keep it going!
    The rain LC2? Yeah, tell me about it! I was half expecting an ark to go past me earlier today, it was nuts!

    Wish Sparky'd get his PC sorted to help me keep you ladies in check! Still I think he desrves a break after covering for me!

    Hi all :wave: Good to see everyone still hard at it. The same here with £4.60 in the pot today.

    oopalah
    I feel exactly the same as you and wish I could have put all that interest in my pots! Still, that's life and far better to look forward to better times, and you'll get there soon enough! Meanwhile, all the best Shelly.

    Sorry to have guessed correctly Greenbynature, though if he/she is anything like ours, they're always looking our for ways to make healthy profits! Rotten swines! I do hope your very perplexed friend will get better soon and come to realise, I think ours has now.
    You've got another chance to push ahead and grab a sweeter and far more healthy life young Jess, go for it! With all the advice you have above as well as the help with SW and your friend you CAN make it. Go ahead and do it for YOU!:j

    Have a wonderful holiday LC and let's hope the wet weather will be gone through and give you the chance to really enjoy some sun.

    Great to have you join us kas, good to hear you're still saving well. All the best with getting debt-free!
    Lovely to see you Nyk! We do understand though, other commitments etc, just stick your head round the door and holler every now and then, it's always good to see a friendly face.

    Hiya Stunty, good to have you with us now, especially as poor old sparky's having lappie probs. Still, one good man's better than none for sure!!! ;)

    Keep filling the pots folks. Stay healthy and safe and have a great Friday all, looks like a wet one again!

    Sue. New friends wishing to join us, please just ask below, I'll be with you ASAP.

    Morning all. Just thought I'd quickly pop in before we leave for the airport.
    Thanks Sue - I hope the sun shines too - but am just looking forward to a rest from work really! soooooooo jealous of your kittens Jess. I'l miss mine while I'm away, but at least the inlaws will be here to give them snuggles. Off to the post office shortly to post an ebay item, so should get some pottie pennies. Hope you all have a fab weekend. see you in a couple of weeks. LCxxx

    Morning all, I'm bit of a lurker on here but thought I'd pop my head in and say hello....my pot is filling nicely but mostly from DH, he goes to the shop every day for the paper/bag of maltesers so always seems to have change in his pocket and he's well trained now to leave all his coins out every day to go in the pot.

    as for me....well I try and avoid the shop as much as possible so my purse is usually empty. I don't need much day to day other than milk and I pay for food shopping on my debit card so I'm a cashless consumer. I'm hoping to save enough to buy my Christmas food, no idea how much is in there so it'll be a lovely surprise.

    Happy saving everyone:D
