    Thanks :)

    Not much to tell about me really. I did my own spc last year and saved £165. Could have been much better lol

    I have plenty of pots holding various bits in but I want a see through one this year so it might just be a random empty coffee jar until I find what I want :o

    Had to catch a bus today, so popped the change in my pot.

    Didn't really count what I put in (roughly £1-ish) - I want to be surprised come November :D

    Have a great evening everyone x

    I can't remember now who asked about pots? I couldn't cope with a see-through one, it'd be too tempting! Mine is an old Cheddars tub with the lid sellotaped on and it's in a cupboard so it doesn't get nicked! It's quite heavy already :)
    No idea how much is in there.
    January is always a lean month here cos we get paid mid-December and then end of Jan which turns it into a 6-week month :eek:
    So not much potting.

    Hope everyone's OK with the weather, take care.

    Potted my usual £2 today, then forgot so I've put another £2 in, only realised when I got back from afternoon walkies, another c r a f t moment!
    My pot is a tin I can't see through, love the surprise when it's opened and counted.
