I've got £2.26 to Pot this Afternoon....
Looks like it might be a bit of a lean Week this Week....but we shall see what I can manage to Pot...0 -
I see you're keen then, Scottish Lassie, a lovely sum netted.Sue - re M&S. I'm not too sure, but will check on a daily basis. The Amazon voucher may have been abused (big style), and maybe they've had a rethink?

That would certainly make sense, Lynsey, bound to happen I suppose, but a real shame.DueMarch11 wrote: »Afternoon all, finally have 5 minutes to myself to catch up, took the small people to the park this morning, must have tired them out, one is snoring in bed, the other on the sofa
Been potting slowly and steadily, raided hubby's wallet on Saturday for his small change, my mum offered hers on Friday and I have £1 to put in today
THAT is appalling, DueMarch11!!but......well done!!! :rotfl: Bless your little treasures, would love to be a fly on the wall right now.

Agreed Habibiboo, but it's already in use as the name of her house! Or should be. :rotfl: Good spotting of the albino squirrel. I've never seen one yet, but have a friend in Northants who sees one regularly in her garden.
This early in the challenge, Helen, that's still good savings.Sue x

I went shopping today and headed towards the magazine section. It's one of the things I shouldn't touch as I spend and have spent way too much on them in the past. Anyway before I even picked up the one I wanted I thought about the pot and walked away.
So today I have potted the money that would have been spent on the magazine plus some change.

Hi silvermist, you're most welcome, anything that may help. Yes, I received yours thanks, I've also updated your Target, all the best in reaching it or even going beyond!slowlyfading wrote: »Sorry for posting on the wrong thread

Not to worry, slowlyfading. I did tell you I'd answer on here when the Grand Total would be given out - but the honest answer is, I've no idea how long it will be as members are being so terribly slow this year, it's almost unbelievable. I sincerely hope it will be long before Christmas as I usually do, but even then I have to keep updating it on my siggy due to snail-paced SPCers.
I can promise you that I will declare it just as soon as is sensible.parsniphead wrote:I went shopping today and headed towards the magazine section.

Absolutely fantastic, parsniphead!!!! :j:T:j That took great discipline so you can be patting yourself on the back big time!! It's a LOT better in your pot than the retailer's pocket. :dance:Sue x

I'd like to join please
I have a whole load of change sat on a shelf at home. I was wondering what to do with it, and it seems like a perfect time to start a sealed pot!

Just wondering what you do with all your spare time ? Ducks to avoid large heavy object flung in my direction. - Only joking but you do sound really busy. Hope you make some 'ME' time :coffee:

Well, I was thinking today I should get a part time job:o

I have nothing to pot today, although I did get an assignment finished and submitted:T
