    Have finally got my terramundi from my SIL so I can start potting. I have been keeping a virtual record of what I 'need' to pot so I will start by putting this amount in, then keep putting in bits and pieces on top of what I 'earn'.
    Trying to keep in budget.

    I'm having an Alcohol free January so I just potted 9 Francs which is how much I would have spent on my wine, if I had have had my usual glass and a bit with dinner.

    My tax is only £30 a year WOOHOO! lol. But don't worry too much about your service. Just get it looked at when you can. Plenty of people do their own service and half of them can't so that good a job.

    Mine has gone up to £135:mad::mad::mad: Was £125 when I got it! I'm just focusing on finishing paying for the blimming thing - putting a bit of the last payment on a credit card which should be cleared by the end of the year then I'm going to enjoy at least a year of not paying for a car every month. Then I'll probably get fed up with bits breaking on it and start all over again with another nearly new one! :rotfl:

    Just potted 70p found in OH's wallet - he said I could take anything up to a 10p - he obviously didn't realise how much was in there! He is in a good mood though as we hope to get one bedroom "finished" this weekend. When I say finished... I mean walls rebuilt, electrics in plasterboard up ready to plaster next week! :o We'll get there in the end!

    Welcome to all the new potty people! It really is so motivational and it is such a buzz when you add up your first years total! I'm even more excited about things this year!
