  • Morning Everyone :)


    Well my Pot was very nearly full so I decided to empty it and put it in the Bank....I'm a little wary about having so much money in the Flat....you never know after all and I would be gutted if someone got in and stole it!!


    So I sorted it all out and removed the Notes and Gold Coins....And I'm Banking (wait for it!!).....£350!!! I'm sooooooooo thrilled with that!!!! I can't believe I did that just since November....Some of it will need to be used before Christmas....But I'm okay with that...I'm just so thrilled that I managed to save that amount....I'm hoping I might be able to make £1000 in total by November....!! :D


    So I've put it in my Signature....So I don't lose track of what I've managed to Save this Year....


    And I have started again...Have put most of the Silver Coins into a temporary Pot and will get a new (cheap) one during the Week....


    Am out all Weekend so I'm hoping there will be some to Pot across the Weekend :D


    Hope Everyone is well.... xXx :)

    Hi Dreamerhelen

    Fantastic that you've potted so much since Nov!:T I'm sure you'll achieve your £1000 target. I've only started in Feb but looking forward to opening my pot in Nov.

    Hellooooooooooooooooo Pottersssssssssssssssssss

    DH went off to the pub last night and came home with a pocket full of change including 2 x £2 coins :D also sold DS's grappling gloves so another £5 in my pot.

    DD sold her dolls house and furniture for £25 today and decided she would like the new skylanders game. Mr T had it reduced to £39 online so bought her that, kept the £25 and moved £14 from her bank account and we will collect it on monday :) so will be big smiles on monday after school, and we now desperately need some shelves in her room as she has practically all the disney infinity 1 figures, half the disney infinity 2 figures and will now be collecting skylanders :eek:
