Can I join, please? I tried to get started a couple of years back, but it never really took off.

My pot is being steadily ' fed ' with a minimum of my usual £2 daily and have been putting in any extra coins on the days i've not been out spending ! SUE uu , you'll be pleased to know that the brandy butter and christmas pud is now finished until next year!
Tomorrow I 'll sit down and work out how much of my last house sit money will go in the tin.
Keep filling those pots!

Hi everyone thanks for your kind words. Had a good time at SIL for MIL bday it was good for us all to be together. DS brought his girlfriend , shes met everyone before but you know wot its like when family are all together on mass. The shock on he face when my SIL asked my MIL to sit on my husbands shoulders for a photo. which she did. he was sitting down. it was a good job coz hes 6ft 4. By the way my MIL doesnt drink and she was 77 yesterday. I got £30 so im posting it in my pot. hugs .x

hi all, I popped out to the sales today and got a few gifts for birthdays etc sorted for the year! some of the champneys items my sil likes that are usually a bit too expensive were reduces to half price, and i bought a few crafty bits n pieces ready for next xmas, hoping to make things to sell!! all my friends and family tell me to but i see soo many other peoples items that i think are better than mine i dont have the confidence!
Anyway - got the scratchcard changed and the £5er went into the pot and the £3 change from the sales went in and a couple of bits of shrapnel for the whiskey jar x x
Not much spending until nye now! i will be working but meetin other half afterwards, lets hope he forgets about the change lol

Have not been on last few days as haven't been out to spend any money. So sorry to hear your of your loss fishcakes x.

Been shopping today in the sales and got some lovely curtains for the lounge. Will be the first lot of curtains we've had in the lounge since we moved in (7 years ago) and were very kindly paid for by the MIL. Now just got to wait for the banks to open so I can put her cheque in to cover it. Didn't spend cash as came home for lunch instead of eating out :A. But have just spied 3p on the side so have nicked it and it's going in the pot!

Hoping for another win at bingo tomorrow so can put some more in

Hello all

Did a big roast today for us all. Had a really long walk through the fields with DSS2 & the hound. Managed to put a few coins into my pot, but do not anticipate anything else until next week, as I do not intend to visit any shops until then.
Opened a bank account on line this morning which, subject to conditions, pays a £5 monthly reward. Will be putting that into my pot each month, so I am very pleased. Come Friday I will be topping it up with the no work lunch challenge money. I am planning to do a spot of decluttering tomorrow in preparation for the car boot season - my Mum & I do afew each year & we have such a laugh. I am now trying to think of other ways to try to increase my pot contributions - this is more addictive than I thought!
