Delilahh

Been away this weekend, but still managed to come home and pot £4.05.

Out all day yesterday with DS at an athletics meet in Blackburn. So proud he came 2nd in 200m sprint and 4 x 100m relay and 3rd in Long jump. :j Weather was kind to us too, at one point I even managed to take my coat off lol.

Bit of a wash out weather wise today but me and OH did manage to put the spuds in potato bags that I have been meaning to do for the last 2 weeks. They were sprouting nicely so hopefully will get some lovely new potatoes in late summer (if we get one).

Potted £2 today so all in all not a bad day.;)

jakes-mum, I'm so pleased you already get the mobility allowance.

Awe you guys are great! thanks so much for the advice. Need to get my spends in check before i DO end up in debt

jillystew, to help control your spending, if you're tempted to buy something...anything, always ask yourself the question "do I need it or just want it?" If you answer with the latter then leave it on the shelf, if you're unsure, leave it til another day and ask yourself the question again.

Good advice you've had from little_sweetie too, she's a treasure. :A
A good tip on using Martin's tool for budgeting, Rosy!!! :rotfl:

Well done on your bargain, sparky, you did very well for sure.

To answer your question, nu1isit?... LC 2 will quite possibly be back tomorrow, she never takes her coat off, just grabs her PC and causes mayhem here again. :rotfl:Pleased you got a lie in, you deserve it.

Wonderful news of your DS's successes again today, mumof4plusoh. :T

£10 for the pot, change from shopping on Saturday.

Come rain or shine, SPCers, have a good day today

Morning everyone

Just thought I'd better pop in to let you know I'm still here. There has been a very severe shortage of pottings and time. Unfortunately there has not even been enough hours in the day to catch up with all your great posts.

I have however spotted 45p sitting on my little table next to my morning cuppa so I had better pot that before it is claimed for something else. :eek:

Lovely and sunny here this morning - wonder how long it will last :think:

Take care everyone

Ahh nu1isit I am sure Mr Tumble is holding his own on the potting front :rotfl:

Its one of thos days, the one I always get half way through the challenge . . . I REALLY want to open the pot :eek: its so shiny and glittery! It talks to me 'open me jakes-mum, open me! You know you want too' and I have no change to stuff in there to shut it up :rotfl:

2 x 50p donated from DH for bratfinks tub . . might get the bottom covered at this rate :eek:

Ahem! Is that the tub or bratfinks bottom you're talking about? It is for his uniform after all. :rotfl:

17p in the pot today, 6p of that roadkill.

Welcome to our newest potters, this is a great thread to be on.
Happy Potting!

Hi everyone,

I have been lurking for a while but started my sealed pot in February, aiming to save £200 so I can get my OH a lovely Christmas present.

Can I join and get a number please?

Do I just update my signature on the 29th November with the total (as I have no idea of a running total, planning on counting it when it is opened for a big surprise!)

Thanks all x

Probably a bit of both :rotfl::rotfl:

another 50p for bratfink (wondering if I can save enough for mini me's uniform too ) and lovely £2 from the ladies at the post office :j:j

Hello Potters! I have over £50 in my £1 & £2 jar...it counts it for me. I also have the silvers and coppers in two further pots. Looking good for Christmas!

Have had 3pence roadkill in the last couple of weeks

Hi Loubell83 you are more than welcome to join us sue-uu will pop along shortly and allocate you a number which you can pop on your signature (along with your target if you like) Then you just tell us the nitty gritty of how you are adding to your pot 'cos we like to know what's going on :rotfl::rotfl:and then surprise us all in November at pot opening time. I'm not keeping a running total either. I think it's much more fun not to know until the big day then announce it to the world in a post!! (yes, and add it to your signature then) Enjoy the fun on here...it's brill :T

Well, I just did the food shopping and have gone over budget for the first time since I joined this thread :eek: I had to hand over an additional £2.05 to the lady in Sainsb**ys :eek: from my own money :eek: I think I'll go back to Mr M's next week......
Anyway, there's no money to pot right now and I need to S_T_R_E_T_C_H the contents of fridge, freezer and storecupboard to make sure we can actually last the week

Still, the sun is shining and it's actually drying my washing outside :j Happy potting everyone x
