    nell36 - great news! Relax and enjoy Christmas! x

    I potted 50p earlier today. Not a great amount, but I found it (rather randomly, I admit!) in my make up bag. :doh:

  • I think of my sealed pot as loose change, and wouldn't pot £150.

    However I would use it only towards a budgeted spend. We're you planning a new bread maker if you didn't make that sale anyway?

    I found another 15p in roadkill this evening, so that's going in the pot tonight. I genuinely had no idea there was so much change lying around the place until I started this challenge!
    Getting myself back on track! Pay off debt and save deposit time!
