    Evening all, hope all are well.

    Busylizzie94 - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Good luck with your savings and your target. Your target will help to reach yet another record total.

    AlwaysHappy - Sesmarias would have been quiet, Albufeira has become quiet enough out of season and that's the main resort!!
    Did you go for a walk on the wooden walkways??

    lynnejk - I know what you mean. As above, it has been much quieter the last few years!! We've overdone the Algarve over several years, from the Spanish border to Alvor in the west and time for a break after the next one - for a couple of years at least.

    Sue, thanks for the star and I'm on target for an extra tenner come the weekend. Only £2.20 spent today. lol

    7 x £1 coins potted and my half-way target is in sight now. Hopefully the first week in March.

    Evening

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

    I bought a new pot today. I shall have to weigh the old one - it's not full yet but it's getting there. Most of it is change under £1 which is probably why it is filling up fast.

    Omg, that sounds horrible! Hope your car is okay, although makes a little dent on your finances. Trouble with having cars these days! :(

    Still £100 is money you maybe could have done with than without. But hey ho, it's got to be done to keep cars running! I had a slow puncture on mine, £63 later... Got to be done though! But definitely got a good price there!

  • Potted around five pounds this past week. Not as much as I would like, but I think it's going OK in general this year so far. :j

    Hope everyone is well. It's lovely here in Derbyshire. Very sunny and quite warm!
    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.
