    I used £5 worth of N*ctar points on half price seasonal kitchen roll and potted the cash yesterday. Plus a £2 coin and shrapnel making a total of £9.87 in the pot. :D

    Hello and welcome to our new potters.

    Hugs to all in need of one.

    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).

    Lynsey

    A cracking job done, Lynsey, so when are you going...and to where? All the best with the £200.

    Go via recreation grounds/fields and car parks, Sams. Always more profitable as so many kiddies and teenagers just wing it most of the time!

    Well done, Verityemilia, and keep up the positive thinking. ;)
    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!!

    Fantastic work, Happybeingme, it's a joy to hear how having sorted their cash and lives out makes such a huge difference to people's lives, especially when it's the lives of SPCers! :j

    I'm forever lifting my pots, AlwaysHappy, it gives me a real buzz. :D Though not when I lift the chicken as he holds the notes....bless him. :A

    Oh VERY well done, Modesty! :j Stick at it.

    Excellent work, mynellie!! :T What is your dog....a sniffer type?! :eek:

    There's nothing wrong with that at all, Nikki2002, it's still a saving, you did brilliantly! :D

    £3.45 in the pot for me.

    Have a lovely evening, folks, keep safe and warm. :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.
