    56p in the pot for us yesterday and *more importantly* I rescued a cute black puppy from a river!

    True story - the only vaguely heroic thing I've managed in 28 years :D

    Not much potting been happening here. However a massive £20 is going in the pot tonight :D I had 2nd place the Grand National sweep stake at work and due to a week off have only just collected it :j
    My pot has been polished (it's a silver money box in the shape of a teddy bear) and has taken pride of place in Little Bean's newly decorated room :j

    :wave: Evening everyone

    Hope you are all doing good. 1/4 way through the year and still saving as much as I can, not fallen off the wagon yet and don't intend to :D

    Fed Rosie £3.58 courtesy of fat club. I fell off the fat club trail this week and put 2lb on :cry: my own fault so no excuses. Will do my best to rectify it this coming week. No easter eggs for this bunny :rotfl::rotfl:

    Your welcome Sparky ;)

    Well done edingurgher :T :T so glad you rescued it. So many just get abandoned and are unloved.

    Well thats it for me folks. Have a good day saving and whatever else you intend to do tomorrow.

    TTFN :D

    Evening all! :hello:

    £4 in mine today. My mind says keep it in my purse, and spend it, but I've had remarkable self-control. My pots around 2/3s full already, so will be getting another sealed tin off Amazon soon.

    Heres to a frugal(ish) new me! :T
