    Hello

    £5 in the pot today.

    I've decided to pot any money I save at the supermarkets using coupons and apg's this month. So that's where today's money has come from.

    Have a good weekend.

    DH has just been paid for some work that we didn't need the money for if you know what I mean, i.e. it wasn't budgeted against any bills etc. So I have just been able to put another £300 in to the deposit savings account!! :dance: :T So pleased as we want to start looking in April so we've really got to try and find any way possible to get to our target!

    On that happy note I am going to pot 20p to celebrate!! :D

    Wonderful news, mossy, I'm chuffed to bits for you both. :T Just what saving's all about. :j

    Excellent saving, CuteAsButtons!

    You too, Bambisbelle.

    It's still very early days, dinglefoot, give it all chance to sink in. I time you'll come to accept it and know - life does indeed go on. Keep her in your heart and she will always be with you. :)

    Push on, Lindylou, you'll get to your goal.

    You sound so elated with the £4 making a total of £50, PinkPepperPot, it's so good to 'hear'. :D (I'm glad we already know your avatar is a PPP or we might be wondering...a bit! :rotfl:

    Well done, EchoDelta, don't forget your No, it's waiting on the list for you.

    2p roadkill for me!
    Have wonderful weekend, everyone, keep safe, healthy and saving.

    WOW! Just got a major bargain in Mr T's.... My son somehow managed to shut the zip of his school coat in the door of the car and broke it, so popped to Mr T's as they got 50% off clothes at the mo. Anyhow found an 'acceptable' coat in the sale, half price at £6....but went through the till at £1!!!:j:j:j

    Have potted the £11 I saved and a bit of other change I had so potted about £15, my best days tally so far :D


    Hugs to those that need them at the moment xx

    Well done on all the great savings peeps!

    No potting for me today but I had a quidco payment come through and so rounded it up to put another £50 in to the deposit savings account!! Whoop whoop!! :D

    DH is at work in London tomorrow and DD is at a Butlins party for most of the day so I am intending to get listing on ebay this weekend!! I've already told my boss to tell me off if I don't get lots listed tomorrow!! ;)
