    Hi everyone, I'm so blinking stupid! Totally forgot to write the date down for the last pot opening.....oops!

    I've just posted my total over on SPC4 now and I got my target....yay!

    I've already started my pot for 2012 and there's already a fair bit in there. It's all taped down so we can't get into it. Money this time will be used for Christmas :)

    Off to write the date for this year's opening in big letters on my calendar!

    Yay! More change in the pot courtesy of mr moomi. He asked why I was sealing up the empty twig lets tub & I explained so he promptly provided all copper & 5p's in his pocket, woohoo! Coppers galore in there though, what happens when your pot is full up, do I just start another?

    £5 ino the pot as I still had diesel left in the car so spent £35 instead of £40 this week. Almost had 1p road kill in asda, went to pick up & a kid jumped in front of me so I had to kind of look like I'd bent down to scratch my leg or something, awkward!!!! :rotfl:

    First thing I thought when I read this was id have poked him in the back of the leg and hissed 'get out the way of my penny!'

    Still no potting for me as i think this is going to be a very tight month, car service and MOT due in the next 3-4 weeks. :eek:

    I am also having to keep hold of every penny at the mo, no point potting then going back into the overdraft i have just paid off. Also thanks to my bonus from work i have just paid £400 off my CC. :j:j
    Will keep up with all the antics and be cheering you all on from afar, and just pot when i can.

    Happy New Saving Year to everyone.
