    Went out for a girls lunch yesterday (5 hours! - lots of talking! - can see Sparky rolling his eyes - lol).


    SIL came with me and brother kindly gave her the money to pay for both our lunches. Was a lovely surprise and very kind of him. So not much change in purse - but did find 87p which has made its way into the pot :)

    Hello everyone :D...

    We got the lovely Christmas decorations and tree up last night :D. Now I'm secretly wondering how long it'll be, before the little one, stops trying to take all the decorations off, when we turn our heads :eek: :rotfl: :eek:.

    A lovely 24p for the pot today :j.

    Happy Potting everyone :beer:.

  • Morning,

    Just to let you know that when I was in Home bargains last night,they have some money tins for 59p!! What a bargain!! They are a bit twee - cute puppies and kittens etc but if you are starting out and plan to spend £1 on a tin you can pot the 41P!!!

    I have potted £2.55 so far today 5p I found lururkibg in the side pocket of my handbag and £2.50 saved by giving child number 1 a packed lunch for school!


    Have a great day all!!
    After going to poundland yesterday when shopping and finding no sealed money tins it appears everyone near me is gonna
    Be a challenger:) I went further this morning to home bargains and got myself a kitten pot mine was 79p tho :eek: but still gave me more change to pot!:beer: :beer:sort_me_own_yard_out for the top tip

    Well I potted £1.04 today change from tins and 2p from hubby who yesterday had to have Mc D's

    Looking to pot more tommorow after doing more Xmas shopping - didn't have the energy really today after a hectic couple of days - great fun tho:)

    PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to check your new numbers as they're all done now and need changing. You'll see that there are LOADS less names and numbers now, but it's useless having folk and numbers there that no longer save with us. However, if old members return then you can still have your name added and be given a new number. Please change numbers asap folks.

    Very many thanks indeed. Sue

    My overfed slug pot is drying and is slightly improving as it goes, I feel encouraged. It might yet be useable rather than laughable.

    Today my holding pot got £1 in change

    There you are you see, sams, it's worked out just fine, you'll soon be saying you're proud of it.

    Hiya LC 2!! It's good to have you back and to know you've had such a lovely time. :D You don't say anything about your DH...I take it you brought him back with you?!

    That sounded just the job for you, Nell, and I'm sure will have done you so much good. So lovely of your Brother to treat you. :j

    Well done, helencal80, you're doing wonderfully already. :D

    Fingers crossed that your little one behaves, nu1isit?, bless her.

    Ours is up now, the window lights too, but oh dear, did hubby curse after testing one lot of lights and us putting them up that they then......didn't work! :( He said a couple of naughty words and we're going shopping tomorrow. ;)

    You've done brilliantly, Pickle29, very good indeed.
