    Just found 19p in my purse so will pot that later

  • Thank you for the lovely welcome! My survey vouchers won't be much, I had forgotten about them until last month, but I've done a fair few since and every bit helps! Off to search for a suitable pot and the superglue now!

  • Hi all,

    Congrats Lynsey for meeting your target.
    Welcome to all the new potters.

    I received £33 cash back from a hotel booking in July from quidco. Will be going into the pot. Can't wait for 27th November to see how much I managed to save. Getting very excited
    Saving goal for BTL mortgage - 28600 / 60000 ( July 2021) , 37600/60000 (December 2021) , 39300 / 60000 (august 2022) , 41000/60000 ( January 2023)
  • Today i have added to the pot £20 because my lovely OH paid for dinner last night even though i had planned to, 2 x £2 coins and a small amount of change!

    I have also put my car up for sale so hopefully that will sell and i can get something a little bigger.

    Well done for meeting your target Lynsey :)

    Evening

    Well done on the £12.50 Sue. Excellent saving :D

    I have decided not to count my pottings before I go on holiday and use the money when I get home to buy my mums and my sisters Christmas food shopping. I will also buy everyone a small Boxing Day gift (11 people) and if I have any money left, I will buy myself either a Jo Malone advent calendar or a couple of JM candles. They are over priced, but I really want one (or 2)

    £3.26 potted today.

    So so so so so so so so close :D
