    I've been Money Tipped!
    DreamerHelen - good luck and keep your chin up. It's only January and late November is what counts. I also think a holding pot would help you at the moment. Take care.

    Anyone that's not saving £2 coins, I'll take them off you. lol :rotfl:
    They seem scarce for myself at the minute and I used to get a few from Sainsbury's. No more potting today due to weather - staying in and keeping warm.
    Doing a bit of cleaning up ......................... well cleaning up what's left of the Xmas choccies. ;)

    2 x 50p's for the pot :D Not been out the last few days so not spent anything :j OH keeps leaving me the smaller change from his pocket as he hates carrying it around - in the pot it goes. I think he thinks I'm a bit mad but is always a happy bunny when christmas comes and we don't have to find many pennies for all the presents.
    I LOVE my pot even if it is an old bashed tin from last year all taped up!!!

    Hi all, have just caught up with the last couple of pages, phew. DreamerHelen, so sorry you had to break into the pot. January is a tough month but as they say in the song 'I get knocked down, but I get again.'

    Well I have been a complete numpty, have forgotten 2 days running to get back my petty cash (only for milk and paper) so when I get that tomorrow you know where it's headed. And the £2 coin I had earmarked I had to use for parking :(. Still, managed 70p so at least the poor pot isn't too hungry.

    Cheers all :)

    I am sad this morning :(:(:(

    I didn't get paid enough in my Wages for Food so I had to break into my Pot and use most of the money in there....

    And I am soooooooooo upset!! And thoroughly feeling sorry for myself....

    I had nearly gotten up to £50 as well!! :(

    Oh well, all I can do is start again (if I'm still welcome here)....I guess at least I can eat this Week....which is the main thing I suppose....

    I hope you all don't mind me being here still...I know this is the second time I've had to break into my Pot....but with it being January it's a VERY hard month!! I'm determined that from next Month it will be better and I should be able to Pot a decent amount every week....

    Really really really really really gutted :(

    Oh well...Onwards and Upwards!! I'm starting my New Pot with a Declaration of £1.24 to start with....


    Hi DreamerHelen

    Don't worry like everyone says we would rather you were on here than a skeleton :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    You just look after yourself that's what matters

    Hi Everyone

    Been in bed all day with a migraine but feel better now.

    Nothing for my pot but did swap 4 x£1 coins for 2x £2 coins as they were in my pot I don't know why but I couldn't let those £2 coins go out in the wild could I . My DH thinks I'm mental!!!

    Well I'm off to bed now


    nite
