  • Hello everyone, top of the morning to ya!

    Haven't been on here for a while but thought I'd have a quick look to see how everyone's doing. Will read a few more pages later on when I've got through my list of things to do today.

    Haven't been feeding my pot much recently as I've been throwing every penny at bills. Have managed to get a couple of biggies out of the way, so hopefully will soon have a bit for the pot.

    Hope everyone has a good day.Its quite bright here, so now off to get some laundry out on the line.

    Have fun

    Added 75p to the pot today. Then added an extra £1 after I had used up an eye cream this morning. I have so many lotions n potions that I have vowed not to buy more and to use up what I have. Each time I use-up I'm adding £1 to my pot - £3 added in April so far. Hope to add another £1 later today or tomorow.

    Have had a poor week for pot additions. This MSEing has resulted in me making sure I take all my lunch and snacks to work with me each day - so no sneeky trips to the canteen, which means no sneeky change in my purse to then go in the pot. I'm annoyed with myself - in a good way - the £10 I had in my purse last Sunday night is still there! That's not to say I have not been shopping - bought food using debit card. Again no change!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Haven't posted here for a while, but have been steadily accumulating.

    A good week though - I have a brown envelope that I sometimes put cash in to pay bills, and a couple of days ago I looked in it and found a £20 note that I'd missed or forgotten about! And just now I was about to put a jacket in the wash, turned it around to do up the zip, and £1.25 rolled out of the pocket!

    Hope everyone else is doing all right.

    £2.20 left from £15, after a shop. I'm always shopping, so for me the challenge is sticking those odd bits of change in my tin, instead of wasting on stuff like magazines, that I don't always read, make-up, rubbish, etc.

    Sorting out mu bag after last nights 'big do' and found £10. Really want to put it in the pot, as I didn't know I had it. But, big mix-up with my pay at work last month (they hardly gave me any). Apparently it will be in the bank next week. So, for now I'm putting the £10 under my pot, with a view to it making it into the pot if I get paid! Otherwise it will come n handy for food shopping...
