    Hmm cant remember the last time I posted :think: so will just declare what I can remember :o

    had 3 x £2 coins and some shrapnel go in yesterday . . . or may have been sunday . . . im not sure.

    Have just got £3.16 in cashback but only had £1.16 in my purse so will have to be in hock to the pot until i've got some more change.

    Been fairly unwell this weekend with another 'crash' (as the docs like to call them) and am now wondering if the pollen is a factor as all the rapeseed round here has started to flower and suddenly i'm feeling like death warmed up. Have always suffered with hayfever and come from a long line of hayfever/asthma etc sufferers. Will see if I come round when they cut the darn stuff down :( one of the downsides of living in the country.

    Will be spending a small fortune this week as it is yet again 'Coeliac Awareness Week!' (if you suffer from recurring mouth ulcers, fatigue, stomach pain, recurring diarrhoea, anaemia and/or weight loss its worth getting the blood test) which means the lovely Mr T have all their Gluten free foods on 3 for 2 :j :j. Each year I go and buy 6 months supply of biscuits and cakes for my DS but its worth it as they don't put the prices up before they put the offer on like they do with other so called 'promotions'.

    YAY!! that's great potting. You'll find you want to pot more so you can share your good fortune with us!! Welcome by the way. Sue will be along to give you a number as soon as she can. She is having some personal problems at the moment so it may take longer for you to get a number than usual.

    Don't worry though, you are already a member of our family so continue sharing your potting and roadkill with us. For every post you write on here there is a chance it will encourage someone else to pot and save. And any problems you have there will always be someone on here to help you out :)


    We have just come back from a long weekend in Cornwall. I brought home £9.68 for my lovely pot :)

    Evening

    Welcome to all the newbies xx. Saving any amount is very addictive :D

    £1.56 potted today and even better than that, my weekend has already started. I had 28 days leave to use before the beginning of September so I. Book tomorrow and Friday off. That left 26 days, which is 5 weeks and one day, and the one day was irritating me so I booked Monday off too! A random 1 day was not looking good on my leave sheet :(

    I hope everyone is well.

    Lovely to see a lot of newbies joining. £3.00 in the pot for me today.

    My pot is getting really heavy now :j so I bought another one (exactly the same) in case it gets full. It wasn't too pricey - £4.50 but I will have to open it with a tin opener in Nov :eek:
