    Hello! :hello:to anyone out there. I can't sleep at the moment (most usual for me) so I am partaking in my new pastime.......reading posts on the forum and being inspired and learning things I didn't know.

    I will aim to save as much as I can in my pot but my priority will be to reduce my debt. I am going to set myself a daily budget and any change at the end of the day will be potted. Of course if I find any money that will be a bonus and added to the pot.

    Hi Yoyosam, must have just missed you last night, hope you soon managed to get off to sleep afterwards.

    You could always save as much as you possibly can in your pot and use it specifically to pay off your dates. Either that or save regularly to pay bits off your dates (every week/month) as quick as you can by chipping away at it more regularly and bring the interest down. Even it only reduces it a tiny bit each month ..it has to be better! However you do it, you'll feel great when you get to the end of it - and you WILL!! :D

    scuba, re the bankers and all that lot, we'll mix with the next student affray ...... we won't get noticed then!!!!! We can have the wother ones too! :j ;)

    Keeping outa mischief then sparky. Your holiday funds will soon be stashing up. Go careful going home tonight. Lot of snow down yer last night...lovely though!!! :j I been out to play with the kiddies 'n all. :A

    miap1982, it's so good to see you happy at saving, your Mum's also getting a buzz with it too. Not asking who she is, but is she on the thread as well?? You'll save alright so long as you stay determined!!

    No problems with mine after thanking, frasersmum. Hope it settles after a night's sleep! :D

    Hiya Paul and love to Merthyr. I'll bet little Bethan loves this weather. :A Good to know you're starting off again in January.

    I'll bet you've had a ball with your GC's, LC 2 so long as they didn't get the snow near you. Our little treasures did this morning with a bit down my neck! :eek: It's ok, I gave as good as I got!!!

    I'm pleased you enjoyed your night, fishcakes, drink plenty of water today and flush yourself through, it does help.

    You sound hell-bent on saving, DoingmyB2BG, keep at it, after all why give more than you need! Also - resist that temptation - the dreams and wishes encourage you on further than the knowledge. ;) As soon as you're able to dry the washing naturally, do so, it'll save a LOT!

    It has to be a good sign when you bring some money back from a works do, JoeyGrey, I'd be well chuffed with that. :)

    What a beautiful day - and season all. Enjoy it while it's here - and if you're looking in from tother thread, Ross, yes we've had lots and you must have too!!! :j:j Happy, happy, happy. 's..ok folks, I'm getting over it. :D

    See you later, folks, or some of you maybe. keep SAFE and don't trust to luck...it ain't worth it. Mind that hill Observer!!

    39p in the pot today after a bit of a splurge out of my birthday/last christmas money that i have had hidden in the cupboard away from prying eyes (had £130 in there which was given by various family members to 'treat' myself but i couldnt think of anything to buy! :eek:).

    Anyway went to the local bead shop and spent £12.61 so the remaining few pence got donated to the pot and my envelope got rehidden in its secret place :D.

    Also just been in to see mums power plate lady and she has sold a pair of earrings for £3 and a necklace for £10 so that will go in the pot when I collect it at the end of the week (hoping leaving it there will be a good karma and attract more of peoples money :D)
