    Another £2 coin and a shiny 50p - yay!! I must try and resist the urge to keep picking the pots up - it isn't going to change anything is it.

    Glad it's not just me that does that..... I shake my pot too (not the first one though. ... it is jammed :)

    Thank you :)

    Ive been trying to do a weekly pot, I started taking shopping budget out of bank weekly (so I wasn't tempted to over spend with the card) then on the night of day seven of that week I put whatever is left in my purse in the sealed pot :)

    Hiya everyone. Just popped on to say I'm back from my holidays and ready to start potting again.


    Gosh - can't believe how many pages ahead now so will take a few days to catch all your news.


    Hope no-one too bad with all the wind and rain and you all have a fabulous Friday
