Potted a few bits and bobs over the weekend. This monexmy will come in so useful when we finally open the pots.
Have decided to pot 2€ for ever day I don't have a glass of wine (I usually have at least one with dinner). Coukd be a nice 'earner' by the end of the month!Trying to keep in budget.

Hi Everyone
Just a quick note cos really busy. Just made 80 tinks hobnobs!! They are gorgeous for recipe just search forums sooo easy.
also some cupcakes and a trifle. DH has a cold so needs spoiling.
He says he has a cold although I have yet to hear him sneeze!!!!
but he is moaning and was unable to make a phone call to his sister because of his cold so I had to do it !!!
I have been very sympathetic today I think I am getting on his nerves cos he asked if I was going out tomorrow when I said I would stay in with him he offered me £20 to treat me and my friend out to lunch :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Potted 40p found on a shelf DH kill!!!

so £1.20 swimming pool kill :j

Checking in -still here, still potting when I can. My pot has been renamed (by DD age 8) the Pee Jar. (Because it's where we put the "pees" -the 1pees, 2pees and so on :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
It's only about half full, but i'm hoping to keep it going until May when we are going on holiday, is that allowed?Long haul supporter #290POAYDBX2014 #043LBM Dec 2011 Debt £51K Debt Nov 2014 £42K0 -

I have opened my pot as saw some bargains for christmas presents over the weekend. I know its early
but I dont really have much spare cash at the moment.
My total was £137.27 which I am very pleased about - as it was only bits and bobs when I could. I often use my change at the self pay check out counter so dont often have much.
I have repotted the £2.27 and will carry on as its a great way to save without even trying.
Thank you so much for the challenge0 -
Well done LAM, fantastic amount :j :j got to grab them bargains when you can

Morning all,
Brrrrrrrrrrr, what a cold weekend. Managed to pot £30.10 (change and a bit of overtime).
My dad-in-law had a stroke so I will be without DH for 10 days or so whilst he goes to visit. Dad is getting better, thankfully. Girlie time for me and DD whilst DH is away (and peace and quiet).
Enjoy your day everyone. At least the sun is making an appearance every so often today.Save £12k 2013 '13 #66 £12,106.76/£12,000 // '14 #44 £10,081.90/£10,000 // '15 #67 £11,976/£12,000 // '16 #67 £7,322/£12,000
