  • hello,


    I haven't posted or read in an absolute age! but I am still potting my spare change,


    just wanted to say hi and hope all is well XX
    Nevertheless she persisted.
  • Evening all!! £2.17 for me today and I'm still stupidly pleased with every single penny I pot. Its such a rewarding feeling.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • Had a little sort out of my bedside table yesterday ie binned all the receipts that accumulate there. In the process found £4 + few coppers so reckoned that they deserved to go into the pot as they'd already waited ages for me to spend them. So I dropped them in to play with their mates in the dark for a little while :D

    A special little hi to Sue :beer: and a welcome back to Sparky :T

    Keep potting all xx

    Lynne, keep fresh fruit, carrots, celery sticks at the ready for munchies times, or keep drinking water so it fills you more. If all else fails clear off out for a walk or run up and down stairs! Well done however far through you are.......

    ......you too, Saver88!! Are you and DH still on the smober wagon??

    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 was only joking Sue-UU as I seldom eat cake, but thanks for the advice. DH laughed at my planning but I have a tub with my NR stuff and mints, gums, seeds and nuts next to where I sit. Still just 2 cigs each evening but that's 2 weeks today :j

    Ha ha, well I try. :) She then suggested that instead of putting change in my lovely sealed pot we should put it in a jam jar for Links...I nearly passed out!! :eek::D However she melted me when she said, "Helping other people and saving their lives is more important than money for Christmas!"

    Aww she's a good'en, I might share some of my change with her little jam jar but I don't want my pot to get too hungry! ;)

    Aw she's priceless, isn't she! :rotfl::rotfl:But she does have a point! What a lovely child :)

  • Hi all.


    Just thought I'd drop a line as its been quite a while since I posted! :o I've struggled with cold and then had a wet and windy week in Scotland last week. Home and fully recovered, with a new determination to keep potting!!


    I have been potting bits and pieces, and have just raided my purse to add another £3.03 for today.


    Going to take granny out for her 88th birthday so I might get some change from that today.


    pot is growing heavier each day!! Looking forward to November already. :j
