    Potted around £20 this past week. :D Saved 7 quid on Orange Wednesdays at the cinema this week, and decided to have a coffee at my house with my friend instead of going to Costa, so saved about 7 quid there too, AND I saved approx 7 quid on sale price stuff in Sainsbury's (stir fry stuff and sauces and suchlike.)

    So this evening, I popped £21 in the pot.

    Very happy. :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.

    I haven't been on for a while to declare been busy glossing doors and decorating my bedroom, I have potted £71 in Facebook sales, got rid of some curtains, a lamp table, a lamp and some tiles :). God my house looks so much tidier now it's getting cleared out of junk. Also 68p came from money I found in a draw while looking for things to sell lol

    Evening all.

    chasingthedream - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Good luck with your potting.

    NSD and nowt potted here today, but well done with the great potting that's going on. Hopefully I'll get a few coins tomorrow.

    Have a great weekend and hope you are "lucky" with the weather. I've been extremely lucky so far.
