    Hiya everyone


    I can see some super potting going on around the country.


    By golly - it is brassic up here this weekend. The sort of cold where you feel it's biting your face off :rotfl: I'm usually on my winter hols this time of the year but had to change things around a bit this year BRRRRR !!


    Went shopping - quite a few different shops - and thought I would pot all the change in my purse under £1 coin as there was quite a lot. So - money in one hand and pot in the other to take through to kitchen to count and add - my phone in my pocket started to ring so I answered it. Had an interesting conversation with a friend and arranged a meet. Put phone back in pocket - then realised I had just slung all the change in the pot without counting it - hahahahaha


    Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

    Morning Everyone.... :)


    Well I'm feeling rubbish physically today...but I AM in good spirits and feeling absolutely fine emotionally...and that's half the battle...so I'm feeling good about that...


    By the end of today I "should" have a Date for my small Operation....hopefully it will be within the next couple of Weeks....so we shall see what they offer me.


    I am Potting a £10 note this morning....had some left after the Weekend's Shopping...so that feels WONDERFUL....Might be able to Pot a little more tonight but it shouldn't be a huge amount...


    I'm definitely on track to make about £500 by Christmas...I haven't set it as an official Target but that's my aim in my head....if I do that then Christmas is DEFINITELY going to be "free" this Year :D


    *Hugs* to those that need them....and Welcome to any Newbies....you're gonna LOVE it here with us ;)


    See you all later on xXx :)
  • Morning all
    Nothing over the weekend as we didn't really go anywhere to get any change but found 47p this morning next to my pot which I must've forgotten about. Love and hugs to those that need it xx
    Happy Monday

    Hi all, hope everyone's well?
    DreamerHelen hang on in there girl :)

    I've been dropping change into my pot, I don't count it, I like the surprise in November.
    Yesterday I saved £8! - used a £5 off £50 voucher in Pets at Home and have enough cat food and litter for a month now (3 cats). Also I made a vat of soup for our lunches at work, and splashed out on 2 soup cups so I can bung a portion in the cup from the freezer and bung it in the microwave at lunchtime. The cups were reduced from £6 each to £4.50, they scanned through the till at the original price :eek: but when I pointed it out she took the £3 off. I think OH was embarrassed 'cos he wandered off at that point :rotfl:

    SO should I pot that £8?

    I would definitely pot the £5 off but only pot the extra £3 if I would have bought the cups at the original price.
