  • Another £1.70 in the Pot this morning....which I'm really pleased with...Still hoping to get to £250 before we open the Pots....

    Did a Triple Shift at Work yesterday so I worked from 10am until 9pm with only a few breaks....and I was absolutely KNACKERED when I got home last night!! Went pretty much straight to bed....

    Feeling a bit better this morning....Just about to go and buy some new Shoes courtesy of a VERY early Birthday Present from Mum....but my ones were letting in water and squeaking every time I walk....so I desperately need some new ones...

    Thanks for everyone's support...I really appreciate it!!

    We aren't spending too much at the moment, and I'm not spending at work, so not got much to put in the pot to be honest...

    need to look out on the floors etc a bit more.

    As I'm late to this game, not sure whether to open the pot - I guess I should, and then start a new one for next year!

    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Another £50 Banked (see Signature for the Total Sparky hun) to buy some more Christmas Pressies...I'm very nearly done now!! :j And it's not even November :D

    Nothing else to Pot at the moment....but might have something by the end of the Day as I'm going out to College and usually get a couple of Burgers on the way home as my Weekly Treat....

    You could open it, see how much you managed to save, then close it again and use it to start you off on next years challenge :D

    Potted 8p. Saw 1p roadkill at bus stop, but so many people stood there was too embarrased to pick it up. Was that silly??

    Tie your shoe laces would make it less embarrassing but yes you're right it's borderline. If I knew anyone I wouldn't.

    SILLY! SILLY!! you should have just pushed them all out of the way. DH hates it when I stop dead on the pavement to pick up a 1p :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:and everyone bumps into him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
