    i checked my pot 2 days ago and there was £29.36 in there so far, not bad for me as i normally have to dip into it, but i am staying determined not to.

    , don't forget to seal your pot!

    Hello again tiddly widdly, it's good to see you back! Better luck this year, and remember, whatever you save will be money NOT spent! I've updated your Target

    Sadly even the shiniest of the most shiney still holds the same value, blue_eyed_girl...in other words, tough! :rotfl::D


    Just a few pence in the pot is better than none, Rachel, you're worrying too early about your Total, still that's to be commended. Have a lovely time with your littlie, treasure every minute - they soon grow up! :)


    Good for you, esmer, well done on budgeting too. :)


    Well done on that mega tin, nickynoo....how huge we talking?


    Hiya sparky and well done on your £5er!


    Good luck with the knitting club, henna, Lidl's good for reasonable wool prices - especially when it's on offer, £land too. ;)


    A knitting group might be good for you too, majjak and so many people have needles they'll happily lend/give. Again, try Lidl's or £land for wool. You could have a look in charity shops for needles.
    Hi SUE

    Hope you and your family are all better now. You are very busy at the moment on here it must seem like a full time job:rotfl::rotfl:
    Anyway it's much appreciated:T:T:T:T

    Ahh, thanks LC 2, that was sweet. DH is much better, though it's left me with a hacky cough. It has seemed a bit like a full time job over the last few days, I love it though - the quitting smoking thread too. It's good to feel helpful to folk. Did manage a lovely walk yesterday morning with DH and a quick one this morning (walk!;)). See, I do get out sometimes! Took all our decorations down this morning, then a polish round - ah, lovely! :)


    Well done, Kerry. All cash is good.


    Good for you, AandELee, you too, Purpleroses....wish I had cash in my drawers...so to speak! ;)


    Whatever does "HM" stand for, weeclick? Surely not his mother!!! Can't condone or condemn til I know.


    Hiya ruby1968! Have put the £21.31 on as your Start Total for you...wonder what the final one will be!!! Did you want a Target put on? I see there's on on your siggy, but not on the list - what to do???

    It should be sealed mandz1, that way you would definitely avoid temptation then! ;) A wonderful amount though, I have to give you that.


    Have a lovely day everyone....and keep right on saving.
