    Hellooooo

    I chose the name because it was the highest jackpot on the euromillions lottery at that time and I became a little bit obsessed!:rotfl:

    You're doing well if you've got £50 already!:T

    Hello to Hope and Mossy too. Am I right in thinking Oban is in Scotland?

    Welcome back 166million! :)

    I love your username, because I am very [STRIKE]nosey[/STRIKE] interested (and I want to make sure that you feel very welcome! ;)) can I ask the reasons behind your username? Please know that their is no pressure!!!

    Sue will be along soon to allocate your number, perhaps in the meantime you can read though the first post as it offers a wealth of information. Well done on your £0.98, I hope this will continue you for you!

    I am sorry that I have been MIA, lots of health issues and adjustments in medication - one visit to my gp cost me £32.58 (thank goodness for the holding pot!) although £1.18 was spent on two cartons of Ribena, they were so good!

    Anyway back to potting news - I changed up my tin earlier in the month and have got around £50, I cant believe it is that much! I think that if I continue like this perhaps I will also be able to pay off my DMP a month early!

    Happy potting everyone!

  • Evening everyone

    Potting £7.98, money left from my weekly spends. I did toy with the idea of potting just the change but thought I'd stick the fiver in as well. :D

    Hope everyone has a nice weekend, regardless of the weather. It's going to be a wet one here. :(

    Evening all, hello 166! :wave:

    Got a £2 coin in my change from the fish and chips I bought for tea :o so going to pot that!

    Sore throat coming back so going to go to bed soon! Has anyone watched the rich, poor and something programmes that are on, to do with sport relief?? There was something about one of them on the CAP website.

    Going to start back on the 5/2 diet next week. Been so naughty and it's such a waste of money, or at least money that could be spent on healthy treats!

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend. x

    Hiya all :wave: see we've a chilly weekend on the horizon. Oh well, never mind, it's officially :j SPRING :j so it can't last much longer (can it ??)


    Merrily potting my daily pound I thought to myself how quickly the time has gone since the beginning of this challenge. Can't believe it's nearly a third of the way through already :eek:


    Hope you all have the bestest weekend, whatever the weather

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    I've been early morning shopping to pick up the Lidl half-price weekend bargains (lol).

    Potted £4 which included another £2 coin.
    We'll have a new shaped £1 coin to collect and pot from 2017 according to the news this week.
    images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSP0Ppz9AsR3zBiQSwOGC0pU3b9jeouimqWdd7byAKDP08MfUA7

    We could do with a £3 coin also. :D

    Have a great weekend, weather ok here today.
