    £7.67 to the Center Parcs pot (which includes 5p I found on the floor at the zoo:D).

    Its my birthday on Tuesday and I OH has got me one of those big tins you have to break open with a tin opener as the jar I am using at the moment isnt sealed. Im such a saddo but i'm really excited about it.
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.
  • 19p in the pot today
  • Well, the coffee jar holds the grand total of £1.79 after one day - not a bad start, just for the shrapnel I found in my purse and the bottom of my handbag, which is now a bit lighter to carry! Bonus!
    August £10/day - £42/£310
    Sealed pot challenge no. 1382 - target £200 for Christmas! :)

    96p to add to pot 1 today. It would have been 99p more but the lady in the petrol station let me off with the penny.

    Don't forget to seal that pot mind skaps!! ;) Be sure to add whatever money you've already saved into your total in December.

    VERY good, DorsetGirl and well done on the 5p! :D Excitement over anything related to saving is never sad, quite the contrary. ;)

    That's it bargainlover, keep it coming, it's all making you richer!

    A brilliant start then, hammiehunter, well done. :)

    Oh dear robed, you could say that your petrol station lady robbed you of 99p then!!!! More like robbed than robed then. I know, groan :(


    DH popped out to get the Lottery tickets this afternnon and gave me a whole £5 for the pot!! :kisses3:

    OK folks, enjoy your day tomorrow whatever the weather. Keep safe, healthy and saving.

    Thanks Sue-UU! Winnie in Pooh - the author of 'How I lived a ear on Just a pound a day' is Kath Kelly. Hope you enjoy it if you're thinking of reading it. Some things are a bit dubious, ie hitch hiking in this day and age (I wouldn't feel safe with that), but it's her determination that has motivated me!
    I had an interesting day yesterday, my daughter and I saw a clairvoyant. He told my daughter her baby would come early and would weigh about 9ibs 12oz! Told me we are gonna have two lots of significant financial increase next year, and move house. At this moment in time I find both hard to believe, but hey ho... we'll see.

    Thanks mommyof4! I'm off to the library next week so will have a look for it! Defo agree with you on hitch hiking, really not a great idea these days!

    9lbs 12oz and early :eek: when is she due? Be interesting to see if he is right, might be time to start looking for your dream house :D

    Just 5p roadkill into my pot today, DH's wallet is unfortunately already empty :rotfl:
