  • Morning Everyone :)


    Yesterday was a much better day....which is good, I needed a good day to remind me that it's not always bad.... :)


    I managed to Pot some change yesterday, I think it was about 95p....I've got another £5 to Pot today but I want to wait until I can get a £5 Note....I like putting Notes in my Pot :D So I'll hopefully declare that later on :D


    Hope EVERYONE has a WONDERFUL Day and Weekend xXx :)
  • Hiya all
    A lovely little 61p potted today, first for a few days. I am averaging around £1 per week I think, so I need to up the ante a little, will have a little think on how to do this without spending any extra money, whatever I have at the end I will be happy with but would like to be nearer the £100 than the £50.
    Good luck to all. And hugs to those that need them, xxxx

  • Hi Sue-UU

    I would like to join, thanks. I'm a new member of MSE forum. I haven't got a saving goal as such but just wanted to start the saving habit again. Any money I save at the end of the year I will add to a saving account I have recently set up.

    I have a sealed tin ready. Hope I'm not too late to join.

  • Sue UU I like the idea of drawing in out some money, think I will start with a fiver(not too big an amount to feel it gone) and then at least I have potted half my target each month before I even pot my loose change so thankyou for the suggestion. Xxx

    Afternoon all.

    Dragon Lily - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Have a look and read of page one, some helpful tips and advice there. Sue will be along soon to allocate you a number. Best of luck with your savings.

    Notnormal - belated Birthday wishes, hope you had a great day.

    We've just had a crazy hailstorm shower!!

    Potted 2 x £2 coins from Morries s/scan till.

    I've had such a frugal Feb, if I don't spend much next week, I'm going to add an extra £10 - once changed.

    Have a great weekend.
