I potted 2 x £1 coins = £2 and need another £6 before Saturday.
Just booked for a part-week in the Algarve for December (pre-Xmas break) - some really cheap flights/hotels/car hires.

Potted 70p today, only a small amount but it all helps towards the total. Ive got a few vouchers to use for things so I'm hoping to pot that money - I have started carrying them around in my handbag so that I remember to use them.I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0
