    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all, hope you had a great Mother's Day and were spoilt rotten.
    Welcome to new potters, good luck with your savings.

    AlwaysHappy - condolences to yourself and your family at this time. I agree with what you say regarding quality of life. Remember the memories.

    I've got bits to pot when I sort things out tomorrow, but potted a single £2 coin tonight.

  • Hi there! I'm back off my holiday after doing my sealed pot challenge and ready to start again, not had a very frugal month or two so ready to start again post holiday and post child's birthday!
    I was NUMBER 201, am I still on there?
    Yep, you are still on the list, frugal :) Welcome back....

    A few pence potted today, hoping for more after food shopping tomorrow and I intend to try a bit harder in April despite having so many birthdays & anniversaries :eek:
    Hope everyone has had a wonderful mothers day x

    Congratulations everyone you are doing a fine job potting! Keep up the good work! :)

    It has been a quiet week for me with regards to potting – maybe around £4 change from forcing myself to get out of my cocoon and go to the shops. It could have been more as my darling little godson (aged 11) offered me £5 to replace the £10 I lost, he is a little love! :A


    I have been proactive and researched listing stuff on ebay so when I pull my finger out and actually post some stuff for sale I will perhaps make some more money for my pot!

    :(

    Ah but without the pot there would have been no money for electric, and you have a job interview which is a positive thing. Don't beat yourself up about having a pot that lets you be prepared for bad times.

    I got £1.27 paid in to my bank account today from cashback I earned, so I've added it to my online sealed pot - that's where the change I bank goes. I've updated my signature. I've also potted 80p from yesterday.

    I'm out of work as of today, so there will be less potting from my own change, but I'll be keeping an eagle eye out for roadkill :D
