  • I'm a few days late but count me in please!

    I usually have spare change pots/penny pots and a £1 pot but due to an unbelievable year of continual spending on home improvements the pots are all but empty so starting from scratch for new year :mad:

    Have decided that my "sealed pot" will be my savings from my shopping trips. So each week I will add the amount my till receipt says I have saved. Have checked receipt from 3 days ago and already I am up by a tenner :T

    I've been putting money in the pot, but forgot to ask to be signed up.Then realised I was passed across from last year, thank you! Last year's SP saw me through an extravagent weekend in the Christmas markets in Germany, who knows what it will buy this year! I'm in, please.

    Evening all. So far I have managed to put £12 in my pot. Very happy about that. :D Just trying to catch up a month.

  • Ok, a little later than promised, but I opened the pots I had, banked what I could, and have started afresh! The new pot has been started with what couldn't be banked from the old ones and some change gathered during the week. I put it in a new pot today, and there is now £38.22 in there :) Quite a good start!

    Hello Potters :D...

    Sorry for been AWOL..I've had the, 'dreaded lurgy viral thingy' :eek:. So lots of passing out, sleeping, mild confusion (nothing different there then :rotfl:), sickness, sweating clamminess, with a frisson of shivers and cold :rotfl: :eek: :rotfl:. Temperatures touching 40, you know the fun stuff :p....could be worse though, could have had that Noravirus on top :eek:...Imagine the the possibilities for fun then _pale_ :eek: :rotfl::eek:_pale_.
    A few pennies for the pot, hope the rest of you are okay - I haven't had a chance to catch up reading the thread yet.

    I think I missed New Years on here too, so Happy Belated New Years to you all, if I did :beer:.
