Wow some great potting going on
Well I've had 2 lovely £2 coins today to feed my big terramundi's belly!
Also had 40p change from paying for local papers - but have decided to cancel these now as more often than not I don't get time to read it so its money wasted - now it can just add to what can go in the pot :j
Decided to also pot a fiver from the £15 I had in my holding pot rather than it all as its still 2 weeks til payday :eek:eek :eek
Wanted to celebrate finishing/emptying a large bodywash so another one has come out from the toiletries stash.
Will pot the remaining tenner if its still there day before payday x
On another good note used vouchers from supermarket today and that added to another lets be sensible food shop will mean that I should have just about £60 to pot :j :j but again want to hang onto this until payday - just incase x
Welcome new potters and good look with your saving :hello
