    Hey...

    Back to work today after 2 weeks off!!! Shock to the system :)

    Although, I did remember that I'd cleared my purse of spare change in my last week and dumped the change in my desk... £1.06 in the pot :D

    Totally loving this thread... pot is already a wee bit heavy and it's only 6th January!!! :T

    Just need to stay motivated and keep posting :) x

    Haven't posted on here for a few weeks been far too busy enjoying the festivities and new year celebrations. But now its all over I'm totally back to it. And somehow I managed to pot £9.50 in total which in quite happy with considering I saw my takeaways/nights out and xmas celebrations as my priority. Buckling down this month and next though but this could also mean I might not have any money to pot as I have no cash in my purse and don't need to get any out for any particular reason other than approx. £40 for a family meal on Saturday - I will pot the change. No alcohol will be consumed as me and H2B are attempting dry Jan AND Feb!

    Happy new year! Lets all enjoy 2014. :j

    Car drama update: failed MOT not because breaks weren't working but because the dashboard said breaks weren't working, Mechanic couldn't fix as a specialist computer is needed. Called Renault and got a quote of £850!!!! Mother suggested asking the 'nice boys' at the place where they put tires on - they couldn't fix it but gave me the number of a boy who could so went to see him - fixed display on dashboard and making some minor adjustments tomorrow for £60....
