    As for the parent, I'll wrestle the next £££ from the child. She wouldn't want to see me cry, would she?! :rotfl:

    :eek: Uh oh folks, we've got a right one here....parent too!
    still have to count the old pots!!

    Would that be this side of Christmas 2013, Buffy???! Just a thought, but if you'd sorted out your money you wouldn't have needed another pot!

    (It's ok folks, we're used to her!) Well done on the £2. At least you're getting summat right! ;)

    Hi there, skilly! Actually you're late today, well for you it's late. Good to see you though and well done with the £5er.

    £5 in my pot today, got the car cleaned - inside and out was £10 but outside was £5 so I paid the £5 for the outside then hoovered it myself when I got home, potted the £5 saved :)
    Current Mortgage balance - £363,785.35/£420,000 (highest point Oct 2022).
  • Ooooo 35p for me. :D

    I've decided that anytime I spend any cash the change will go in the pot. Hopefully that will help it all add up. And means I will have to stick to budget too. :D

    Forgot to say welcome to all newbies! Be prepared to be addicted :)
