    Well I failed to have a NSD today :-(. I was hoping to, but I had a doctor's appointment and he gave me a prescription!

    BUT I had 20p in my purse, so gave the chemist that and a £10 note and got two lovely gold coins to put in my pot! :-)

  • Good morning all
    I have potted around £2 over the last week or so, my original target was £100, but realistically if I get £60/£70 I would be very happy, I think I am just going to keep plodding putting my silver and coppers in my pot, need all my pound coins for the various activities my children take part in through the week.
    Take care all

    Morning Everyone....xXx


    32b...Thanks Hun....I am still struggling...but I am keeping going which is the most important thing....I can't always be happy, happy, happy but I CAN just keep on plodding along and keep on moving forwards....and if I can do that then that's enough for me!!


    I put in some Silver yesterday.....I am going to try and put in a Note every Week if I can....but it won't be this Week!! But hopefully from next Week...even if it's just a £5 note....it will soon mount up!!


    *Hugs* to anyone and everyone that needs them....And Welcome to the Newbies...hope you are very happy saving with us....xXx :)

    Helen, as long as you are not feeling down all the time it's a bonus eh? xx

    Keep going everyone
