    Happy Easter everyone!
    I gave up chocolate for Lent and devoured my cadburys button egg today with relish! It was easier than I thought but I didn't lose any weight (probably compensated with something else!!)

    Anyway , I have still been potting, £1 change yesterday and a nice shiny £2 coin today ( I can't being myself to spend them - they have to go in the pot)

    My pot feels quite heavy so I hope I will get a nice surprise when it is opened

    Enjoy the rest of your day / weekend and hopefully pot some money here and there xxx
  • Evening everyone and happy Easter. I'm still happily potting away although I have banked £200 I am determined not to touch it so my pot now contains £18. I am so proud of my 8 year old son today he has a sealed pot too. His aunty gave him £5 for Easter and instead of spending it on junk he put it straight into his pot. Hope everybody enjoys the rest of the bank holiday weekend :j

    £2.42 from my purse plus 10p roadkill potted today. We were fishing yesterday at the local pools, I went to spend a penny and came back with a 10p coin. :rotfl: Good day apart from being so cold. :p

    20p in the pot from the washing machine, looked decidedly battered but my pot isn't snobby and welcomed it happily

    Spent today watching films and moaning about Mr T not having any lamb joints left yesterday so we had to have chicken :( was really looking forward to a lamb joint aswell!

    Seems my mum and I are on a telepathic wavelength as DD got a smarties egg and a flake egg and DS got mini egg ones from us both :rotfl: They were not bothered in the slightest . . chocolate is chocolate :D I bought DH a mars one that the greedy beggar demolished before the kids had even managed to open one of theirs and he's now eyeing up MY chocolate button one that I bought myself (cos them lot wouldn't have thought to get me one ;)) and he can beggar off, I aint sharing :rotfl:

  • A measly 20p went into my normal pot,
    taking the total up to £1.71.

    May have some more cash to pot later this week when I take some items back to primarni. I was foolish into thinking i was a size smaller :(

    There's nothing wrong with 20p :T and it's the primarni sizes which come up smaller, it's not you.........
    just don't eat any more chocolate eggs or it could be a different story :D. Me? I can't resist temptation. I shared an egg with OH (gift from DD) and it's already gone :o

    The family are coming for lunch today so, no doubt, I will be overindulging yet again. No willpower.....no willpower.....

    Have a lovely day everyone.

    PS thank you for new star sue. Whoop whoop!

    Evening

    £3.18 potted today.

    I didn't eat any Easter eggs. I still have 2 that I could eat, but I won't until after my charity run.

    Hope everyone had a great Easter
