£5.37 into the pot today! :j Best day in a long time. Went shopping to pick up a few bits & used £4.50 worth of coupons, so the money that I would have spent went in the pot, and I also put the change into the pot too :A;)

DD2 who is 7, decided to tidy under the stairs!:eek: Yes she did survive the ordeal.

After 3 trips out from under the stairs, she had found 22p in change for the pot. Bless her she is becoming as obsessed as I am about putting money into the pot.:D

As Mr T's say "Every little helps!!!":beer:

A few more small ones in to the work tin this evening, not liking the dark walking home from work as it means I'm not spotting the road kill

Some splendid savings you've noted....VERY well done indeed Caz!!! :T Sorry to hear about the old cooker, but.....a range gas cooker is just great! Thanks a lot for your lovely words, I'm so pleased the cash was there when it was needed - not bad this saving eh!


Hi there, the mollusk, at last you crawl from your shell!!! I'd noticed you hadn't been here as you and Muppet_baby started at the same time and if I see one of you on then I always think of tother. See...someone missed you. Good to see you back.


Phoenix, I hope all's well with you and your internal cherub, oh I remember the awful back pains they bring...so worth it though.

Well done indeed jakes-mum, a true samaritan, good for you for being so honest. :beer:

Great savings, caracara..even if you're not potting any! Giving up of the fags HAS to great!! Well done you!! :T Stay strong.

Here's for a loss in one area, blue-eyed-girl.....and big gains in tother! For the former, at least you didn't gain, well done.

Morning everyone
Thanks for the encouragement Sue I can't remind people to update their signatures and then not do it myself, by heck I'd have to go and stand in the corner or sit on the naughty seat. Thanks to the OT, I've dented the debt by 30% now and knocked 13 months off my DFD.

Still potting my usual £2 a day plus any loose change, starting the next £2 & 50p tin off for our next major holiday to NY & Chicago in 2013, lets see how much we can save for that one, I think there will be a major shortage of £2 coins by then!

Have a great day stay safe and keep saving X

sparky - Well done on your savings for your holiday. Also great news about your debt coming down.

Bufger

I'm challenge member 1408 - my lucky number!

I know it doesnt look good so far (0 saved) but i cant find anything suitable to use as a pot!!! I may have to eat the icecream later so i can have the tub. I must have about £20 in 5p pieces ready to go in the pot.

thought I would pop in and share this story with you all as it made me think of all the potters on here

DH is treasurer of our church and each sunday he collects the offering, counts it, bags it and banks it the next day. Those who are members of the church have little brown envelopes with their member number on it (think dinner money envelopes) to put their offering in as it can be traced and gift aided. last week DH was working so asked me to count it for him. in the offering there was one brown envelope with no number on it. I wasn't sure what to do with it so left it til last to document seperately. When I did open it it had £5 worth of 20ps in it :rotfl:

Sounds like a MSE'er to me - someone sat there sunday morning raiding their sealed pot as they didn't have any money (probably the result of a few NSD's in the week )

So own up who was it???? :rotfl:
