    Evening All :D


    Thank You for all the well-wishes for my Trip down to Cornwall....I am so looking forward to seeing everyone....even though it will be super-hectic....But it will be so lovely to spend time with my Family and take some time to relax after a difficult 6 months with my health....


    Sue....I'm so sorry to hear that things aren't right with you....I hope that whatever it is gets sorted out soon and life can return to a good one for you....We're here if you need us :)


    I managed to Pot about £6.70....Now THAT'S more like it!! :D And I might have a little more to Pot later....not sure....but then I'm off to Cornwall early Friday Morning and won't be back until late Monday Night....and I'm hoping to have a little more to Pot when I get home....We shall see ;)


    If I don't manage to Pop back on before the Weekend...then...HAPPY EASTER Everyone....I hope you ALL have a WONDERFUL one!! xXx :)

    Hi all,

    I haven't been around much lately- decorating my son's bedroom and the baby's room has taken over my house, my evenings and weekends, and pretty much just life!

    However, I got back into the potting way today by emptying my purse of all coins and potted £3.74. £3 went into the £ tin and the rest went into my big Quality Streets tub.

    They're definitely filling up nicely, but need to make more of an effort to be a bit more committed to potting!
    CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

    July debt total: £24,630.44 | New debt total: £18,316.34 | Total debt paid: £6,414.10 (26%)
