    Four lovely 5ps from yesterday and an even better £10 lottery win last night all to be added to total. Trouble is I've lost track of what's gone in. :rotfl:

    nu1isit? a crash helmet sounds a good idea, plus a straight jacket, leg irons and handcuffs! :rotfl: Hope dds are ok.

    Got a nice thunderstorm going on at the moment, it's as dark as night here.
    Keep warm and dry everyone.
    Hugs to all who need one.

    Hi Sue, we had a lovely time although it rained all the time. Sooooooo glad we were in a caravan and not a tent. We had 1 day with no rain and managed to get on the beach.

    Planning to do mammoth pot when I am debt free, planning for this to happen by end of August.

    Oh mumof3plusoh, so sorry to hear you were rained on sooo badly, it must have been such a downer for you all, especially the youngsters. I hope you still enjoyed yourselves.

    All the best with your debt-free date coming to fruition!! :D

    Another 80p in the pot this morning!

    Going to have a count up at the end of each month to see what I have saved and think I am going to bank it so I can get a bit of interest on it. I know it won't be much but it all helps.

    If I sell anything can I put that money in there? not that I have sold anything yet but you never know I have loads to get rid of.

    Of course you can pop your sales money in your pot, Lucy and the banking each month is just fine...and every little DOES help!!! :grinheart

    £20 potted over the last 3 weeks plus £10 banked.

    I'm so grateful for this site & thread, to think before January I just spent my loose change on ......... well, actually I have no idea :)

    I'm amazed that that same loose change this year was saved and equals £140! What on earth was I doing with my money before?

    You just be sooo happy with what you're saving, roguexuk, it never matters to us what it's for.

    Have a lovely evening, folks, a great Friday too

    Sue x

    I think someone would have something to say about the leg irons and handcuffs ModestyB :rotfl::p :rotfl:. But with a crash helmet she'd just look mental (especially after I paint flames up the sides :rotfl:), so not far from the truth :D. Love her to bits, but she's got no fear :eek:, something gets in her head and she's doing it :eek: :D :eek:. Maybe it'll be a trait, that'll be handy later in life :D.

    Another silvery coin from us today woo hoo :j....good times :D.

    Happy Potting :beer:
