    Morning everyone,

    Another £2 into the pot yesterday. Off to work soon, and then have some last bits to get when I finish, so no doubt will have some more pennies to go in later.

    Have a good day everyone and keep warm, its bitterly cold again.

  • £6.60 in the pot today. It's payday so the start of a new budget for me and therefore all the change in the purse had to go! Hope everyone is ready for Christmas! And glad to see you back Sue!

    A £2 coin and two 20ps added to the pots this morning. That will be it until after Christmas I think as I am determined not to enter a shop until after the big day, ideally not until next year!

    Will be using cash for grocery shopping from 1/1/10 so will probably have some more bits to add each week as use the debit card at the moment.

    Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you all:xmassign:

    Just had a xms raffle in work and won 5 bottles of wine :D Any one need a spare empty bottle in the new year - I'll have at least two by then!
    Got £3.40 in my purse for the bottle later -can't update later due to having to go Avon delivering..... on freezing evening! I picked a bad evening but it must be done :)
    Take care peeps
