    Mwah! Back at ya Sue!

    Sadly the offer was a little too good methinks and it sold out quite quickly but when I saw it I thought of Team Potters!!!

    I'm going to look again tomorrow though just in case there is a daily quota or if it really was grab it while you can... Will report back tomorrow ;)

    Morning all,

    Alas! It is still showing as sold out so my idea of it being some sort of daily allowance was wishful thinking :(

    Sorry folks but if I see anything else then I'll ping it in this thread again :)

    On a personal note, I potted £3.57 change yesterday :) no roadkill though :(

  • ...I do this and have iPad mini propped up as cookbook when I'm pottering round the kitchen....

    Haha, i do this too. Everyone thinks i'm crazy and my dad moans at me in case i spill anything on it. It's better than a book to wash away any splatters lol.

    Money going into the pot quickly as there is the possibility of a rescue 5month old deerhound cross lurcher in the near future, fingers crossed.

    YAY! aww i hope you manage to get him/her and that they and your pooch are the best of friends!

    I have never been able to use the besp0ke offers. It always errors when i try to buy. It's a pain, especially since i bank with barcl@ys!! It used to take the money and just not give me the goods!


    I treated mum and dad to dinner last night so i have a few pounds to pot. Not sure how much yet though. I also get paid an actual full week tomorrow, FINALLY!!

    queendiorable thank you for popping your No on.......

    ......many thanks for letting her know how to do it, littleangels3, a gold star for you. :staradmin

    Morning skilly, have good day and great potting.

    I sincerely hope you're right with your good feeling about this years total, Eyebright, though if you have a look at my siggy you'll see that the 2013 Grand Total has managed so far to creep up admirably and I'm quite thrilled with it. :j

    Never mind, Monkeyballs, you did your best to help us all and that's what counts. Thank you.

    Lovely to see you, Ruth.

    Just in case you don't see the post on tother page: "Hi Thrifty Fashionista, good to see you. Would you please put your new No on your siggy for me, thank you."


    Have a great day, everyone, keep safe, warm and......saving. :D


    PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers! You'll see there are LOADS less names and numbers now, but it's useless having folk on the list that no longer save with us. However, if old members return then you'll be made very welcome and can still have your name added and be given a new number. forums.moneysavingexpert.com Please change numbers ASAP folks.

    If you've already updated your No, please could you kindly make sure it's correct as I made a blunder to start with!

    Very many thanks indeed.
    Sue x

    Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's NEVER too late. There may be a lot of us, but don't be shy, we're a lovely lot, so come on in.

            I've been Money Tipped!
            Morning all, hope all are well.
            Just catching up, nothing to pot!!
            I've been spending today online!! Paid off the holiday balance and booked airport parking. Positive is, nothing left to pay (well, apart from car hire and spends).

            lucyhope - Eastbourne mystery trip, excellent.

            Hoping for a NSD today, but need a few basics tomorrow. I'll pot then and I'm aiming for £200 by the end of the month.

            So sorry to hear about your root canal, Happybeingme, but health comes first so don't take it too hard, though difficult not to with their prices!! :angry:

            Thanks Sue It's annoying to say the least, but if I hadn't started sorting my money out last year I would be in a much worse position. At least now I can actually set some money aside to pay for it instead of having to borrow yet more money?!!

            Another £2 in the xmas tin :)

            Keep saving everyone ~ you're doing brilliantly!!

            Morning all, £1.02 into the tin today for me, does anyone else keep lifting their pots up just to get that satisfied feeling that they are filling up (please don't say its just me........). Its really frosty around my way today, slippy underfoot when I nipped out, so stay warm and safe everyone.
            I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
