    Hi again, samtoby and welcome back! :hello: Have you still got the boat/yacht? It's good to see old faces return.

    Can't believe you remember me out of all these potters!

    I am expecting a baby in May and will be on maternity leave so I was going to do my pot to save for Christmas 2014.

    Thank you for arranging the challenge!

    £79.50 refund from my sale shopping (surprised that it credited today but I'm not complaining). Its currently in a holding bank account as I've misplaced my bank card so can't withdraw it =/

  • SUE_UU I've potted £70 which is the money I have spare after payday which I haven't spent? Can I say this is potting? Also I'm now wanting to use the pot to save for our holiday money which is mid march so can I open my pot then and then start again when I get back? I'm basically hoping not to spend a lot of money in jan and feb and potting what I have left as well as spare change like normal. Can I do this in this challenge please? Really hope so as I'm find this thread very motivating :T

    Hi everyone,
    Very, very wet and windy here I've been given 2 more carrier bags full of veg,:j so must hunt out some veggie recipes to use them up. Potted my usual £2 and added another £5 as the veg would be worth that at least. :D
    Happy new year
