Evening everyone

Blackwidowz - Sue will be along later to officially welcome you and give you a number - Hi and happy saving

I've put lots in the pot tonight, we have a piggy bank in the kitchen which we put into daily and then every few days I transfer it to the sealed pot [don't transfer it daily incase one of us needs change - caught out with that one far too often!!!] I transfered today and cos I was cleaning the shelf it sits on I found lots of change that we thought we'd potted but it had missed the piggy bank slot [its a high shelf] so lots went in the pot - its 2 thirds full now and really heavy so not long till its full and then we move onto the homemade pot [and I've got another 2 homemade pots ready for future use] I'm not going to open any of the sealed pots until nearer the time - Oct - when I do my Xmas shopping [Boots and Sainsburys] hopefully I'll beat my target, I can't wait - talk about wishing time away, it will be really nice to have money available especially for Xmas rather than borrowing from Pete to pay Paul, a concept I'm totally fed up with, anyway enough of my ramblings, catch you all in a couple of days

Dw and I had a fantastic weekend with out friends, came home with a sore throat and a cough :mad:. Also came home with 3 £2 coins, 1p in road change (they don't drop money in Shropshire! ), also put about £4 and odd coinage into the pot.

Have a great day everyone, I'm on lates this week so I'll be back later to annoy you all

Sparky that would depend on which bit of shropshire you went to! That is my home county so I know it well. Let me know next time you go and I'll point you in the direction of the more affluent areas! :rotfl:

Nothing in the pot for me, but it's not a bad thing, it means I haven't bought anything to get any change, so no wasted pennies either.

Hiya DD,
We were in Shrewsbury and Telford, the road change was found in a pub in Shrewsbury, and I had my eyes to the ground all the time

I expect this to all come to a grinding halt soon! The less I spend the less change I should have!;)

£2 in my pot today and a few pence in srapnel for the pringles pot! 6 more sleeps till our holiday! I'm quite excited now. I just wish I could sleep. I seem to have developed anxiety about everything money my weight and now dying and leavinig my little ones alone. Mad as I'm not normally like this in fact I'm usually so laid back I'm horizontal , o well irrtional I may be but it's not going to beat me!
Does anyone have any tips on relaxing (baths don't work)?
