    Many happy returns of the day VickyA, hope you have a lovely day.

    Potted a few coppers roadkill plus a small amount of silver. It all adds up.

    Hugs to all.

    Sounds as though you had a gorgeous walk on Saturday, Rosy...then 2 pubs visits and you expect us to believe it was just tea you had?! :eek: Ah, I'm only joking with you, honest. :grinheart

    Thanks Lynsey, we changed it this morning and £25 sure enough - and it's in the pot now alongside another £10er!! Here's a gold star for you for the Debenhams voucher link, many thanks indeed. :staradmin

    Finally got my pennies to the bank :) so that's £73.84p banked.

    My sealed pot is feeling good today locked in my suitcase -

    Another £6.23p added - not much money left till payday so not expecting to pot this Sunday; maybe just the shrapnel. Not a good month after a second tyre went on me (4x4 owning the road = me in a ditch); good job OH works for a tyre company!

    Great work with the £73.84 banked, Hicks, and thanks for popping it on your siggy. A shame about the tyre, but at least it's not quite so bad for you with OH in the trade. I love the hiding place for your pot, well done!
    Sue-UU - I won £25 a couple of weeks ago with 3 numbers - assume its since the price hike? Well done on the win.
    35p so far for the pot today, 20p of which was road kill, well supermarket aisle kill if truth be known - I've never moved so fast....

    Thanks a lot, AlwaysHappy, and well done to you on your win. It baffled us as the last time we one (just after the hike) it was £20, but now with an added £5er! Brilliant!! :j Oh, I can well imagine you scrabbling for that 20p, well spotted. :D
    Haven't potted for ages, but managed to pot some change from the weekend including 3 pound coins. My pot is still quite light, but I keep telling myself every little helps!!!



    You're so right to keep reminding yourself that every little help, GettingOrganised it really is a fact, especially by the time we get to November; lots of little bits will have mounted up amazingly by then and you'll be !!!!-a-hoop! :j


    You raided your DH, Hollygym?!!! :eek: Excellent work...keep at it!! :dance:

    £2 is just fine, Meowhouse, so be happy with it.
    Well done Sue on your lottery win. I didn't do it this weekend, but I reckon that saved me £2!

    See what you saved yourself, mrsdalloway, we cut it down from 2 after the increase, luckily kept the right one - I hope!! :huh: ;)


    Thanks a lot, Lynne, we only do the 1 since the increase, but looks as though we kept the right one going. I wonder why everyone seems to be of the mind that we'll get a heatwave, I've heard it a lot recently. We'll see soon enough.

    Sue-UU - yes, they've bumped up the prizes to make them more attractive! Well done!

    Another 20p potted. Change from buying my treats for work, in honour of my birthday today! :D


    A very Happy birthday to you, Vicky! :bdaycake: A little late I'm afraid, but it'll still come with the same meaning.

    Your OH is learning fast, Maisie, good on him.

    Very well done you, Helen!!! Keep it going and stay true to your pot.

    Ahh, bless your OH, tatabubbly, he's a real good lad. ;)

    Don't worry, charlieyates, as if that's all you get all week it's still a great sum! :D


    Thanks a lot, little_sweetie, we were really chuffed. Well done with fleabay and remember to keep an ever watchful eye out just in case you spot something sellable! Hubby's don't count though, you do know that...don't you? ;)

    Hi Modesty, I hope you're well.

    Hi Nell, I thought a lot of you yesterday and am hoping all went well? :)


    Have a lovely evening, SPCers, and hopefully a profitable Wednesday!

    £2.03 for the pot today - a shiny £2 coin and some shrapnel so I'm pleased with that.
    Happy Birthday Vicky.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Oh alright I admit it, I may have had an apple and mango J2O too :rotfl::rotfl:

    And I've found 50p in my pocket to pot :D

    And I've just saved £40 by walking out of the hairdresser because I got tired of waiting for her to dye my hair :o
    So I might pot some of that and go stylishly grey :rotfl:

    I thought you'd given your bank card to some bloke called Ben then :eek: took a minute to realise you'd missed an 'E' out :rotfl: i can't help it, it's very late :rotfl:

    Still no pennies as there was no change in my purse :( and my washing machine was making a god awful racket so think more screws have gone through the drum :( if that goes it means I've had to fork out for a kettle, dishwasher and washing machine in the space of 7 days :(:(
