    Excellent Lynne!! :T The worse part is preparing to quit, the thought of doing so frightens us, but once we get started we find that, it's so much easier to do without it then we'd ever thought. Bon voyage, Lynne, it's a journey so worth taking and the best you'll ever take. :D

    Don't forget to tell him about the "Quitters Pledge"!!


    Thanks a million for the support Sue-UU. It really helps to know people are rooting for you. On the same basis I hope others are doing okay. Keep going 'Savers' - I'm sure you'll get there and we'll all have more pennies to pot :j


    What is the 'Quitters Pledge' ??


    Well - my 'tree' is looking a bit neglected and so I am going to have to find some extra pennies to perk it up a bit. Only managed my £1 today but am going to have a :think:


    Hope you all safe and DRY and have a wonderful Wednesday

  • 74p potted today :(


    Would have been five pound if I hadn't walked past the cake shop....


    In my defence it was money saved from my half-price haircut (they have a stamp-card discount scheme) so it's still technically free money....

    I need to restart my potting as all coins were used up in transportation... I hardly use cash and the bus drivers accepts only exact fares so I was in trouble many times and I had to empty my jars.:(
    But now I got a job so will be able to afford bus passes!

    I potted today 4.91! (including a 2coin and a 50p which I'm collecting in separate jars but I count them in this challenge)

    Saver88 - thanks for the warning about hypnotherapy, I was thinking of trying but had some doubts. I can only agree, CBT is really good, I did it.
