  • I don't post as often as I should, but pennies are still going into my pot.

    Weighed in some clothes (not good enough to sell online) and got £2.20, so potted it. Have managed a few pound coins plus the usual coppers and silvers recently and my pot is feeling very heavy now. I may even have to start a second pot before it's counting up time.

    Love this challenge and can't wait to see how much is in it - I've ear marked it as my new fridge fund (really need mine replacing) so I'm hoping there's enough in when the time comes.

    little_sweetie thanks :o
    I'm lucky I've got the money stashed away to deal with cars etc., cos I've just realised the insurance comes up this month too :eek:
    Oh well, I'm off up the NEC next week to the National quilt show so I'll just have to be really good with not spending while I'm there! Luckily I booked a cheap Premier Inn ages ago :)

    Glad the sun's back, I missed it yesterday!

    Oooh, rosy, I'm green with envy! I really fancied the quilting show not because I quilt but because I would like to. Have a really super time :)

    Hi All and soooo sorry been MIA for ages. After last years Summer of chemo this years Summer is a completely different matter Ive enjoyed and am continuing to enjoy lots of little holidays away each month with friends and its been great. Ive been spoiled terribly by them all.


    On the potting front I am still continuing with this on a weekly basis and also adding to the niece and nephews pots when I see them.


    Hope everyone is OK....oh and one more piece of good news......I have found an absolutely wonderful fella who adores me (surgery scars and all)......life is such a lovely thing and feeling very very blessed :)


    Catch up again soon but in the meantime Ill keep potting :)
