    Gonna quit smoking, so using my pot as a way to make me quit. Every time I really want one, I'm going to put an extra £1 in.
    Good luck with that. I gave up in Feb last year - used the free 'quit smoking' help at the pharmacy. You get to use any of the 'crutches' for twelve weeks so long as you really are trying.

    Congratulation Hickles :)

    Hi everyone, I hope you're all well and enjoying your Monday.

    I'm just getting ready for work this evening... hoping for some road kill on the way in, and maybe a couple of tips this evening. Both unlikely, but fingers crossed.

    Oh gosh I'll never catch up now!

    Just to say I am still here! Still potting away.

    Long story short - my little boy arrived on 31st March (4 days OD) and after a stay in hospital my feet have yet to touch the floor!

    I hope you are ok!

    Big congratulations, hickles! Welcome to the world baby hickles :love:


    I'm afraid I have been MIA too and I feel I have definitely been slipping on the potting front. I have missed so many posts that I am hopelessly out of touch with the potting world so I must pull my socks up NOW!


    We did the big food shop this morning and despite having OH with me I only spent 75% of my budget :j This leaves a bit of cash for the weekend top up & then I will pot the rest. I splashed out on a £1 scratchcard and amazingly won £20 :j so a good morning all round. I have tucked my winnings away for an emergency but feel safe potting the £1 left in my purse for now. I must be frugal, I must be frugal, I must......


    Hugs and good wishes to all potters, hoping you are all well x

    £15.56 Quidco paid out last week and I didnt know only when I checked my bank account balances when doing my monthly transfers, so I have added this to my pot via the bank as I save it in £1 coins, so I have added 44p to it to make it £16.00.

    Wow! Looks like a lot of potting going on last weekend. Congrats on the £20 scratch win Little-Sweetie.:beer: I won £5 this weekend too (potted it) which is great as my potting had slowed due to waiting for pay day this Friday.:)
