    I have been busy with my pregnancy and now a 6 week old newborn!!! But I have still been saving and during my pregnancy we potted £24!! Which has now been banked. My new total is £1.90. Starting to regain a routine so will hopefully be posting more often. I have also got DH into the habit now, and I think he ended up potting more than I did!

    Hi there, toriaterrier and m a n y....c o n g r a t u l a t i o n s to you and your DH on the birth of your little one!!! A boy or a girl??

    So, is that your all round Total, torrierterrier or is there anymore on Thursday? If the former then very well done - if the latter we look forward to seeing you again - but we do anyway, but you know what I mean. :o You'll definitely be kept busy from now on, in a fantastic way though! :T:T:T Well done on getting DH into the swing of things. :D

    Ahhh ty everyone, it was such a nice feeling to go and give the barclays lady loads of change in bags and my credit card bill :rotfl: I still have to make my usual £50 payment as well in a week when my money goes in :D I have been punished for my early opening though as it works out that Jakes-Dad has beaten me by 16p in the potting competition, if i'd held out till the end I would have won :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: Just dont tell him . . . I havent . . . couldnt bear the gloating :rotfl:

  • hi everyone,
    not posted in ages but still been potting. thanks sue for the pot counting reminder for some reason i had christmas eve in my head!!! trouble is now i have had the reminder im constantly looking at the pot and wondering whats in it!!!!!!!!!! its now going to drive me mad for the next day or two, dont know if temptation will get the better of me or not.

    think we could have a good total because dh has been sticking alsorts in and £2 coins and even my dad sticks something in every week, seems ive got them well trained. so we could be having a good night out sometime over christmas. see you all thursday. good luck and get ready to count

    Hi people, banked £6.35 today!

    I'm doing this until next December where I will add this to my sealed pot monies and hopefully increase my total saved in 2012!

  • It's quite embarrassing to admit, but I can't wait until the 1st December. The really embarrassing thing is that I didn't even do the challenge last year! :o:rotfl: I'm just really excited to see how much money people managed to save as I'm sure it will inspire me to do well next year.

  • Well done Jakes-mum, that is a fantastic total you should both be very proud.:j:j

    Was a real struggle last night when DD1 got hold of my pot and wanted to open it. I was wery protective of my pot and took it off her!!!:eek::eek::eek:
    DS has given me his change from lunch, bless him I think MSE is rubbing off on the kids as he bought just a bar of chocolate on the way home and didn't buy a drink. He said that he could have a drink at home and gave me 65p change.:T:T:T

    All 3 kids keep saying open it, open it!!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Happy potting everyone.;)

    Very well done for jakes-dad then!!!! :T Or wasn't I supposed to say that, jakes-mum? :undecided

    Excellently viewed, findingmyfeet, not having too many results from 'old' members but swelling the ranks with new members, so pretty good. Plenty of time for oldies yet.

    Hold on there, findingmyfeet, you thought it was going to be Christmas Eve so hang on and look forward to the excitement. :j Well done to your DH also, the men are picking up this year.

    OK, redbull, we'll look forward to that next year. You did well today too..keep it up like that and you'll have a good total.

    Don't be embarrassed, recurrent-ostrich, you either cleggie, it's only natural you should get excited, I know I'd be the same. Apart from that, you also know it will be YOU too next year!

    Awww, that is so sweet with your youngsters, mumof3plusoh, great preparation for when they're older, they'll be mini hims :money::money:
    Well done, kerri.
