“Mr Tumble is very nightmare inducing!”

, I think not ljaneyr, he's like a slightly scary santa in disguise, the gift that keeps giving .

“I don't blame you. He is scary. “,

I think you secretly want one starrnac , even if it is to scare crows of in the garden .

“When Mr Tumble used to come on the tv my son used to turn it off.

But when the Night Garden Series began I had to watch it continually. The blinking Tombiboo's.”

The big one's older now so she just watches his show on the weekend now samtoby. I did laugh at Nana Knickerbocker once; now there's an idea for a pot. :DWe had the delight of In The Night Garden too, but with the littlest, but she's not as bothered now :T.

“Hi RedGoose, a few years ago I set myself a news years resolution of not having my morning Starbucks (a tradition i'd been doing for the previous 2 years!) and taking in a flask with herbal tea instead, in an attempt to save money and cut down my caffeine. Every day, Monday to Friday, i'd get to work and before I did anything else i'd open the internet and transfer £2.25 to my savings account. I did that so it felt worth it every day to have sacrificed the coffee and so I didn't get complacement. I

I did it for literally the entire year (from my birthday in Jan-birthday following Jan) and guess how much was in there at the end... £535!!!! “,

It's mental how it all adds up isn't it AlternateMe...

DH & I went to town earlier. Parked the car and just behind by another car was a 'piece of paper' (I thought). Then, just in case, went a bit closer to be sure. As I approached it, even in it's crumpled state...with the colouring I could see..for all the world it looked a bit like a FIVER, but you know what it's like..you're terrified to think it really could be.......

“However, YES it was a FIVER!!!!! and I'm still chuffed to bits!!!!!!

, Well done Sue, bet you were grinning like a Chesire cat :rotfl:.


Right then, it's a lovely 33 pence for me today the remants of a 'treat' lunch today...Mmm, nom, nom, nom .



Happy Potting everyone :T.

£3.01 into my pot today - change from Aldi. :j
Walked 12.5 miles, with eyes constantly scanning the ground, and not a single penny in roadkill

Hello everyone

Please would you add me to the new challenge.

I have £4 to add to the pot today and hopefully this year won't have any emergencies which mean I have to open it before time!

Thank you for adding me! I am looking forward to sinking my teeth into this challenge! I have my pot (a empty share pot of mini cheddars from Christmas). I have been wanting to try my hand at decoupage, so may try to do that to my pot this weekend :-)
My new years resolution is to give up smoking, which so far so good!! I am not going to put my regular cigarette spend in the pot, but I think if I have one of those moments of weakness/temptation i am then going to put the cost of a pack of smokes in my pot. It will be an extra incentive to stay strong!!
First amount going in my pot tonight, a bit of small change from my coat pocket and the copper out of my purse. I am not going to count it as I am looking forward to the surprise when it comes to opening!

Well today was a good day for my, and DD's, pots.
I brought some sealed money tins from poundland, and then decided to open an old one i had in the bed room (had become very battered from DD throwing it on the floor).
I decided to split to contents between our tins, I got roughly £15 and DD got £8.:j There were so many coppers for her tin that we actually filled it up and I had to give her my spare for my £2 coins so now they are living in my china piggy bank.

50p for me today. Have sold some bits on ebay which are being collected tomorrow so will have a nice healthy amount to put in tomorrow. Feel like my poor pot has been a bit neglected lately.
