Here's to you Sublime :beer: My mind works in exactly the same way then I think how happy I will be come 1st Dec and in they go into the pot
Thanks Footie! My kids cleaned me out at the seaside. I can't believe how much money I've spent/blown! :shocked:
I didn't want to let go of my change, but made myself. :rotfl: £3 today, and my new pots already on its way! :T0 -
Yay - miscalculated my budget spreadsheet by £8, so have paid another £5 back towards our cash savings. All our cash savings are essentially a sealed pot, as I'm only spending them for a house deposit, trip around the world or major life emergency0

Your welcome. I know, sometimes I am so good and try to hang on the pennies, dont mind letting go if its all going in the pot.
Might have to be careful though as we might end up in the pot with them:rotfl::rotfl:;)
It can be hard when you have little ones, I have none myself and its still hard. Hey ho on we must go. I am sure we will both have done better than expected come the end of the year.:D xFootiemad:footie: 2013 - SPC no.1147...Keeep potting!!

Well done edinburgher, its always nice to know that you can save a little more by mis-calulating and it going to the right place.:DFootiemad:footie: 2013 - SPC no.1147...Keeep potting!!
