Some of us doing this challenge aren't in debt either.

Nothing potted today. But haven't spent anything either.

Afternoon all hope you are all well £2 potted for me today

I've had a very quiet week this week with spending and not a lot of change. I did start off with £10 in my purse and still have £6.60 left :T:T. I'm going to pot this as I'm pleased with myself. I did make purchases but still my weekly spend was £47.35, my lowest ever! I think this thread gives me so much inspiration, thank you.

£5 potted today and £1 from that was road kill! The most I usually find is 5p haha, it went straight into the pot.

It's been wonderful to watch you all on your journeys....and succeed, but I felt it was time to stop the thread which was the last in many of them, but I'm just so happy you were among those 40 who made it through!!!!Bless you for letting me know.


Re your DH, jakes-mum, he will get there one day so long as he just keeps right on trying to do it.

Never mind, Ruth, it'll (the rice) be on offer again soon enough and you can stock-pile it then til the next time. :rotfl:

21p in my pot today. Niece and nephew have been potting a few coins in the pots I got them for Christmas. Nephew even voluntarily (no convincing needed) potted £30 that he had been given as a Christmas present. They are planning to smash open their pots when I do mine at end of the year. They were very excited about my pot last year - so do hope that they get the saving message through all this fun

Oh Nell, you're doing wonderfully with your Nephew and Niece and it's a joy to hear your Nephew put £30 away of his Christmas money,just brilliant!! :j Please don't tell me it's Terramundis that they plan on smashing?!!

Marvellous potting, samtoby!!!

Not a lot of potting going on for me still unwell, so not really getting out & about much to get change... Only around 50p potted this week... But I was overjoyed to find my first roadkill of the year :j only 6p, but anyone would've thought it was a £20 note the way I was acting, lol, The fact that the coins were in a mucky puddle didn't even put me off... My OH's face was a picture of embarrassment :rotfl:

The first of a lot more I hope, Mystikia, and you be as excited as you like as it's cash you didn't have to earn. Your OH will soon get used to it, my hubby was always like that - now he's mostly the one to spot it AND pick it up!!!!! :eek: BTW, I do hope you're soon feeling much better, shouldn't you go to your Dr?

£5 potted from local selling page. Also my eBay total was £60 but Unfortuantly can't pot it as am going on holiday in march so need it to go towards that.
I'm going to give quitting smoking a good go cos I don't won't to smoke but I'm doing it out of boredom (I'm at home all day with two under 4's, smoke outside though) so if anyone has any tips throw them my way ;-)

If you want to pot your DB!y cash til March, Saver, you're welcome to do so, but either way you can still add it to your end of year savings so pop the amount on your siggy. All VERY best wishes with you giving quitting a try!!! I think most of us who've smoked only ever 'enjoy' 1 or 2 a day out of the ones we smoked, so why not give it a go. I see moomin's given you great advice and I'll send you one of my PMs that I used to send all new stoppers. If needs be then alter your daily routine around so the habitual times aren't there to keep jogging your memory. The worst thing about quitting is - the thinking about doing it beforehand, it's usually far, far easier once we actually take the plunge, truly! The last thread I ran is !here!, have a look and see what you think. There are also 3 others to be found, put a search in for "Giving Up Smoking", you'll find GUS I, 2 and 3.


Oh dear, Sam, that's rotten - and so's she!!! :mad:That's the problem I'm afraid, sadly a little power goes to the heads of some folk; give her time to settle down and she might not be so bad. Meanwhile, you can talk to us about it, anything to help.

Walked home from work again so that's 2 miles added to the day's total and £1.50 potted along with some pennies from my purse.

Any time I wanted to quit and grab the next bus I thought about the pleasure of potting those coins, Sue! :j

Congratulations to you, moomin!!! :T You did really well and have made yourself really proud and I'm so proud of you too!!! :j BTW, Here's a gold star for you, moomin, for all the help given to Saver88, wonderful. :staradmin


Well done, fishcakes.......

........you also, Lynsey.

Great news, 32b3!! One down...however many more (pots) to go!

Ok, if that really is your wish, ALM, but why not leave your name on for now in case you get on better that you hoped.

Excellent work, Hollygym!!!!! :T You should be really proud of yourself, your OH too!

VERY good, themstarrynights, a darned good find too! :dance:



A lovely crispy £10er in the pot after shopping!!

You are ALL saving brilliantly, folks!!! Keep it up!

Have a really lovely weekend, all potters, and keep up the saving!

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. Please change numbers ASAP folks.

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 !!!!ly lot, so come on in. :grinheart

6p in the pot this evening, found on the window sill looking all forlorn couldnt just leave them there on those cold, rough tiles, so now they have lots of new friends in the warm cozy pot

Tis been a very spendy month this month :eek: bloke has just left after fitting a towbar to the car for the princely sum of £369 :eek: but DH said hes done a proper job of it, all the wires are soldered rather than just clipped like some of the other companies do, hes been out there 4 hrs bless him as its bloomin cold out there! But now we can start looking for a trailer ready for the summer and the huge garden job we need to do

Will be starting my mothers cake tomorrow ready for sunday, was going to start it tonight but didnt have enough butter and the towbar stopped me getting to the shop, so tomorrow will be nowt but baking!

mooomin

No bus fare today - it was chucking it down raining and I didn't fancy walking two miles in that

I have potted £1.19 though, just change from my purse.
