Thanks for my star Sue, I'm sorry I'm not on the reminder threads often, I can only really post at work in my lunch hour but I will do that.

You're welcome, Rosie, many thanks for what help you're able to give as it's very much appreciated. I'm very fortunate in having a small but very enthusiastic team which includes ETO and Lynne, both my :A:A Where are you too, Ruth? If anyone's sees a missing :A please send her back promptly! :rotfl: ******************************************************

Should anyone else have a spare moment to go to the "Reminder to Sealed Pot Challenge" reminder threads on the DFW board and DFW Challenges I'd be immensely grateful if they could just be bumped every hour or so?! The more folk we reach by bumping, the quicker we'll get that Grand Total! Very many thanks folks.

It's a good feeling knowing I'm saving. Not spent anything today.
Decided I'm taking £30 cash out of my account each week for petrol and day to day stuff. Whatever I have left over on a Sunday night I will pot.

Excellent forethought, Woodster76!!!! :j Your first sentence above is so inspirational, stay strong with your plans and you'll be ecstatic next November 5th!!!!!:dance:


Your Target's done, savingbabs! Best wishes in achieving it. :D

It's been a few days since I checked in (my house seems to permanently be in a state of chaos!) but have potted some change and the £10 I saved on my food shop earlier thanks to a voucher from last week I've remembered to subscribe to this lovely new thread and will hopefully be able to find more time to keep up with everyone posting! Hope everyone is doing ok x

Hello everyone
My DD (10) had a stall at her school fair this evening selling some old toys, DVDs and home made biscuits.

We had a deal that we would split some of the profits as I bought the ingredients and helped with the baking so that's £7.05 for the pot!

My pot will be going towards our holiday fund so she was happy for it to go to such a good cause...

Went to do some serious christmas shopping today.

I realised I tend to pay with notes everywhere and by the time I had gotten home my jeans were weighed down with change. My pot was very happy. 2 £2 coins. 4 £1 coins and a bit of silver and copper. Happy days.

As for the roadkill I don't know how some of you do it, I guess MSE in general has just taught me to keep my eyes open to more but I've not a chance I walked around staring at the floor and saw nothing

Evening Potters..


Been a bit up and down the last few days....my eldest son had a swimming competition on Saturday and got 2 first places and a third in his heats! Then today in PE he managed to break his toe!! The only good thing about that is that when we went to leave A&E, the barrier on the car park was raised so I didn't have to pay for parking... The £6!!!! I saved has gone into the pot.


Thank you for my lovely new star Sue-UU but its been so long since I've been on here I cant remember how to add it to my siggy?
Mind you, I cant do the smiley faces etc either...must try harder!


Its lovely to be back and catching up with everyone
