    Evening all and what a glorious day that's now closing to an end, superb. :D

    Very well done JAMMIEDODGER.....that was quick, keep it up!

    Not to worry, parsniphead, that happens to me a lot as I can mostly only shop once a week, but NSDs (non spending days) are good anyway. Good luck with it. :)

    You're keeping very regular, Palema......so to speak! ;)

    Very well done skilly, especially as we're only half way through, you're going great guns! I hope your little lass is doing very well, her parents too. :D

    Hi QRB, lovely to see you back again. You are doing fantastically, excellent news!!!! :T

    Well done Mel, that's a terrific weight!!

    Have a wonderful, if not quite so beautiful, weekend my fellow potters. Keep safe and keep saving! :j

    Sue x

    Anyone wishing to join us, just ask, you're more than welcome, and is never too late.

    Hi everyone

    What a lovely sunny day we have had. Not much for Rosie today 90p to be precise. Nothing for yesterday. Went out for a meal courtesy of Groupon which i bought around a month or so ago, so just had to add a fiver to it, but no change. I do however have a lovely £2 coin for the hols pot, haven't had any to pot for a few days.

    Well thats all folks. Enjoy tomorrow.

    TTFN

    well i was hoping for a nice bit of change for my dear pot after son went to the post office BUT I had a rather tearful phonecall 10 minutes after he left on his scooter, it was him sat on the pavement having somehow fallen off said scooter?!?!? and cut all his knee open. So into the car Lily and I had to bundle to drive round the corner to get him. Needless to say, post didnt get posted and son made use of the HUGE plaster that i had been wondering for a while when id ever need to use. So pot is penniless tonight but will do my posting tomorrow and feed her then :D

    Just emptied the washing machine to find MrS had stupidly left some change in one of his uniform pockets.....needless to say I checked the rest while I was hanging his stuff up to dry and added the results to my bottle. I had a peek in to the work tin too this evening and that's over 2/3 full so won't be too long before I can empty that one out too.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

    Aww, our poor little Jake, I hope he's OK. I am guessing that money had to top up the sweetie jar rather than finding a new home in your pot, but all in a good cause obviously. Give him a squeezy cuddle from all of his honorary Aunties and Uncles! :)

    7 - yes, 7! - lovely shiny pound coins for me yesterday (I have taken to paying very small amounts with very large notes just to get a ton of change for my pot!) I'm now on a mission to get my new pot feeling fuller and fatter so that it doesn't feel inferior next to my full pot! I'm all about equality :)

    Love and sunshine to you all, pot fam! Hope you are all able to make the most of this beautiful weather (if you have it!) x :)
