    Hi all,

    Another £1.07 potted today- the best thing about that being that I found the pound coin outside the shop! I love free money :)

    Hope the potting is going well for everyone!

    Also, as my pot is almost full, I'm going to purchase another one at the weekend. I wonder if between March and November, I'll be able to fill another one?

    Thank you! I'm really looking forward to it and this will definitely keep me on track for my potting success! I'm hoping for about £1000 by September but we will see! Well done on your amount potted! :T xx

    finally got change to pot the other £5 from DS's clothes sale, and had £1.70 in various shrapnel weighing down my purse so that has gone in too. Will be starting a new tin this week as terramundi is now extremely fat and heavy!

    OOh Jakes-mum, how fabulous - moving onto your 2nd tin already. Well done you. I am a looooong way off that point but hopeful to get there one day.

  • Hi everybody!
    Just arrived at the boyfriends flat! Stopped to get petrol on the way there and stopped the pump at £26.07 just so I could have extra in my tin, how sad is that?! I've counted all my change from my purse (all change is going in my tin £2-1p as I will spend all my money! Not even joking!) also sold a pair of shoes today (£15 - changed into change) bought my lunch and been to the post office and put £32.81 into my tin tonight! Hopefully I'm well and truly on my way to getting my target!

    Hope everybody is having a good day! Lizzie x

    Evening

    £2.07 potted today. My tin weighs 9lb and is nowhere near full :(. I should have got the usual small ones.
