    I have been away for a couple of weeks so back to putting all change in the pot at the end of each day now. I have opened an account in HSBC so I can use the coin machine so I am all prepared for December already!!

    Have a good week everyone xx

    Hi all,

    I have been lucky enough to pot another £1.25 :dance:, making my total the princely sum of £3.25. I probably have more chance of growing feathers than reaching my target of £500, but I will give it my best shot. January is a wipe-out!

    Have a super weekend all,
    Susanne

    Lashley82,

    I nearly fell off my chair laughing when I saw your pot. That is just the most brilliant improvisation I have ever seen. :rotfl:

  • Evening all

    Nothing to pot at present, a week of NSD's. However have had some bad and sad news today :sad: So i am treating me and hubby to a chinese tonight, i was going to buy a bottle of wine too, however hubby beat me to that.

    And the money will come from my petrol budget as i will have about £50 left by payday. :j

    So whatever is left from the chinese will be potted. :j

    Now do i buy a lovely big meal to help me feel better or do i buy something smaller so i can pot more.... Decisions, decisions.

    Have a good evening all. Will post my pottage later.

    ETO
