  • HI EVERYONE

    Well have potted some pennies in my pot I took some from DH's pocket so I suppose I could call it DH Kill :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I have been very nice to him today even making him a full English breakfast.

    I want to go shopping tomorrow for some new shoes :shhh:

    don't tell him I want it to be a nice surprise :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    He loves coming shopping for shoes with me I would usually go on my own but it's nice that he will want to treat me.

    £4.90 in the pot tonight. I got some money back from work as I buy the tea and coffee for the staff room out of my own money and take it back out of the pot.

    Feel my pot won't be as full as I wanted it to be, but I have been on a debt busting crusade and will (fingers crossed) be debt free next week.:j

    I can then set about potting.

    Have a great night everyone.

    Found 10p in my coat pocket so have had to make a nice round £5

    Well done on the debt busting mumof3plusoh you must be really pleased :T
    £1.05 in the pot today. It's another sunny day here went for a lovely walk with DH luckily he didn't need a coat :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Evening all,

    27p going in the pot from OH's wallet - I even asked before I raided it :D

    Hopefully will be some more coins going in from my purse if I haven't spent them by the end of tomorrow - unlikely as I will be at work al day. Roll on the weekend ...

    Take care everyone

  • Thank you Sue and Rosyq. Can't wait to get paid next week to become debt free. :j

    I was one who lost out to Farepack when they went bust and lost £800 so that contributed to my road to debt. Took out a 0% credit card that yr to give my kids a Christmas. In theory cost me double that yr. Anyway I am waiting for a cheque from the Administrators. Won't be much but after 6 yrs of waiting can't complain. I will bank that but include it in my SP if that is ok Sue.

    Have a great evening what is left of it and a lovely Friday x

    LC2 you crack me up with some of your posts.:rotfl:

  • Good morning all,

    I'll probably join this challenge next year now we're so close to the opening date. I'm quite the failure at pot challenges though because my fianc! bought me a really nice one that I have to break to get into and I won't allow myself to put anything smaller than a £1 coin into it, but I never end up having any spare £1 coins to do so! Haha :(

    hi everyone
    Not been able to pot much this last couple of days, had a few expenses to pay. Train fare, accommodation and tickets to Albert Hall. Hopefully get back into the swing of it now.
