    hi potters, another £5 today, that leaves me with ziltch in my purse BUT I dont intend on spending anything today ;-) nabbed £2 off OH he didnt put up any protest as he is feeling guilty he has a hangover and dont nothing today but mope around. LOl
    I was just gonna put that £2 in but decided may as well chuck the last £3 in my purse cos it is very satifying saving!!
    Done a very small amount of weeding and digging up of 'corns' they were planted by a previous owner 12+ years ago and multipy I hate them the are an orange flower and I remove loads every year,,think I got the most ever out today though. Moved my big allium bulbs into a nice orderly row along back wall to hopefully flower again next year, love those.
    Have a great weekend all ;-)
    Life happens when you are busy making other plans ;)

    Been to the Doctor Who exhibition with my Dad today. Have put £25.59 into my pot today. £20 of that my Dad gave me to 'buy myself something', but as I dont need anything and neither do any of the children I popped it into the pot.

    Sorry for making you think about the C word Sue :D

    Got myself another sealed tin for next years challenge today too :j:j
    Pay off all my debts before Christmas 2015 #165.

    If my calculations are correct, I have about £10 worth of pound coins to put into my pot :D

    EDIT - My calculations are correct but my mum wants change :( She can't give me anything now but she's going to take out £10 tomorrow and swap me. Oh well, nothing in the pot but I've got brownie points with my mum :)
    Thank you competition posters!
