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.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.
Gosh - well done there :T I can see lots of counting up in November for you - unless you do an intermediate count and bank itscotmumof3 wrote: ȣ1.15 potted for me today AND my 2nd pot is full :j. I will have to go find another one to start now

CONGRATULATIONS Hickles :dance: :dance: Another future 'potter'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!
DH gave me some change back today from the shopping - about 40p - so I put it in the pot
Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

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.0 -
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
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 xSealed Pot Challenge #012

£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.
