Welcome to all other newbies - good luck.

My 20 YO DS is at University. For years he threw his change in an old binoculars case and insisted on cashing it in at the Coinstar machines the one time he bothered. He hasn't bothered with it since he left home and had no plans to use it. It's been niggling me knowing it was sat up in his room doing nothing. So I offered to buy it off him to get it into pots where it belongs.


So tonight I have potted the insane (for me) amount of £52.96!!!!! He's more than happy with the £40 I've transferred into his account and, even though it has cost me that, I'm happy as I wouldn't have saved that 40 quid this month.

Plus it puts me onto my second sealed pot and we're only in the first week of Jan. :T

I'm a very happy potter tonight

We'll done 32b3 :T fabulous loss

DH made the mistake of telling me he had a £2 coin, 2 minutes and a bit of arm wrestling later and my pot is a £2 coin heavier . . . Actually it had 2 x £2 coins as I had one in my purse too

Evening everyone,

Thank you for the birthday wishes. It's been nice, all things considered, have been busy so that's been good. Have been thoroughly spoilt, so much so i am potting another £10 of my birthday money.

There you are modesty, thought we'd mislaid you. Hope you are well.

Thanks for all the updates sue and for keeping us all on the straight and narrow.

Hope every is ok. Went back to work yesterday inset so broke in nicely. Had a great day today so fingers crossed the week continues like this .

Congrats - very well done and all the best for the rest :dance:


Potted £3 today and went for the first decent walk of the year. It was a lovely day, bright and sunny, though it was cold and I was well-wrapped up and in my thermals :rotfl:


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

Are you asking to join us, Nicki_Sue?? It sounds as though you possibly are, but I'd just like to make certain please.


Yes please Sue-UU! I did the challenge years ago but have fallen off the wagon in receent years (using cards not cash) however have gone back to envelope budgeting for some things which means I'm no longer like the queen as I do carry cash and will pot the change!
A number would great x
