    Hi all

    I don't know I've only been down at Mum's for a day and I've got a whole page to catch up on! :)

    Some really good potting going on on this thread, congratulations to all :T

    A couple of pounds for me today; I'm always so keen to get it in the pot and hear that lovely jingle, I forget to count it :rotfl: I've been trying what some of you do with the weekly allowance thing but clearly I haven't got the hang of it yet cos I've got quite a lot left tonight so I think I'll call that next weeks rather than potting it. Then when I get paid I can throw any excess at the mortgage and savings. You lot are really good for me :T

    Hi Everyone


    Well I have been sooo busy Haven't stopped all day.Just sat down to watch skating on ice.
    Spent all morning doing housework then all afternoon sewing, and craft work then this evening visiting kids .

    Not a single penny has gone in the pot and no it hasn't been a NSD day just DH went shopping for me and he either has decided to treat me to the shopping or forgotten to ask me for the money!!! I would remind him but I have a very bad memory :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Thought I'd check in after going AWOL for a long long time.

    Since signing up to the SPC a few years ago, I've somewhat deviated from the yearly challenge.

    In June 2011 I decided to start putting at least £1 a day into my sealed pot, with a view to not opening it until 30th Jan 2014 when all defaults finally drop off my credit file. If I stick to the plan I should have at least £966 in there come the opening date. I don't tend to actually put in £1 every day, but chuck in £10 or £20 to cover 10 or 20 days if you get what I mean. Anyway, I know that occassionaly I have put in more than the minumum £1 per day so reckon I currently have about £300 in the pot :).

    When the defaults do come off my record I may be looking to apply for a mortgage so this extra money will come in very handy. Have sold a few bits on ebay recently while having a clear out so will be putting this money in there too.

    £14 in £2's going in my disney bottle tonight. Have to say less is going in since I started slimming world-extra lean meat and lots of veg and salad is sooo expensive so my weekly budget has had to go up and I'm not having much left over at the end of the week to go into the pot.

    Good morning Everyone

    It's very quiet on here!!

    I have a list as long as my arm (lucky I have short arms :rotfl::rotfl:) of jobs to do. So looks like another busy day Luckily DH is not working so he will come in useful :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Well OK that could be an exaggeration :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hopefully will have some pennies to pot later
