  • I have decided to put all spare £2 and £1 coins into my pot along with notes that I can afford to part with :)

    Today I have put £6 in my pot, more to follow tomorrow!

  • Hi,

    Am I too late to join in this challenge for this year?

    Thanks

  • thank you for the kind posts, we've had a rough couple of days. My daughter spent the weekend mostly in tears and I know they say kids are resilient but for a four year old she's pretty sensitive.

    I was hoping for a better start to this week but I have a really bad cold and my daughter looks like she may be coming down with something, she is really white. I know she gets tired at the end of term but I think something could be looming.

    I've not really potted much this week, I got a payment from quidco which I popped straight into my VSP but on a positive note I have managed to get away without doing my usual weekly shop. I got my veg box delivered and apart from a couple of loaves of bread and some milk I have made all meals, packed lunches, etc from items in the freezer and the cupboards ... I've saved a fortune ! I'm going to work out how much I've saved against my usual weekly expenditure on Friday and pop that in my pot :)

    I need to go and have a look at the posts I've missed but I briefly saw your creation nu1isit, it's amazing !!! it puts my cardboard box wrapped in xmas paper to shame !

    got my points vouchers from Tesco today, a rather paltry £1.50 (though on the bright side it shows i've spent very little with that particular supermarket) so that is being popped in the tin along with 50p change from my sons library book late fee (he only kept the thing for 14 months!! :eek:) he has been informed he is paying me that £1.50 back through good honest hard work and I wil pop the £1.50 in my pot when he has earnt it :D

    Received £50 as an apology from my bank as they messed me around with my home contents insurance policy. So withdrew that and put that in my pot.
