    Hiya all.
    A nice little £1
    pad for me today, I too didn't take my purse to work so wasn't tempted by machines, snack vans etc so instead put a quid into my savings.

    Went to go for a drink today but they took so long to serve that we got bored, so we went home. The drink (and a cake with it,) would have cost us six pounds, so I potted that! :D
    No debt left now. Saved £111 in our sealed pot last year. And £272.13 this year! Also we have £2300 in savings. :j

    SPC #468 :D Target £250 for 2015.

    Crikey 3 extremely wise savers in a row!! :eek: A fantastic idea, the.new.me!!!! You will really benefit a LOT from that...rather than giving it to others!! :j

    It's scary when I think how much I have wasted but no point looking back just the future to make things better :)

    Thanks for the warm welcome Sue. I've popped my number into my signature now :)

    Nothing potted today because I had a nsd and have no cash in my purse. I need to buy bread and milk tomorrow so will hopefully be putting a stash of change away.

    Morning Everyone :)


    Well, emotionally I am doing well today....Had a rough day yesterday physically but I got through it and didn't skip out on Placement or my Hospital Appointment....so I still managed to do what I needed to do...which is great!!


    Had my Pre-Op Assessment at the Hospital yesterday....they said it will be an Overnight Stay at the Hospital when I have my Operation....which isn't ideal but I'll manage....They also said it was being referred as an Urgent Case so I should hear what the Date is within a Week....and I imagine it will be within a couple of Weeks for the actual date....Can't say I'm looking forward to it but it has to be done!!


    Had more money than I expected this Week....I'm holding onto a fair bit of it just in case I need it!! But am Potting £9.20 this morning :D


    I'm out all day at Work and then Course Stuff....so I'll hope to see you all later on xXx :)
