Afternoon all.
Sue - nice to see you posting again. Stay strong as usual.
re laptop - have a look at Argos ebay. Some cheap so called refurbs.
honeypooh1980 - welcome and good luck with your saving.
joee - no need to apologise for being ill. Best wishes.
Well done on becoming debt free. Be doubly proud.
Potted 4 x £1 coins and that's it for the weekend. Just short of that £500, but nothing a couple of days wait won't sort. I've cashed in sort cashback. Just £15, but it will be added next week once received. The rest will be left until the end of October and potted ready for the "weigh in".
Enjoy the weekend, be lucky.

Oh no I had to open my pot!
DH and I were both running stalls at our church spring fair, and we hadn't thought about a float! So I opened the lovely piggy bank and took out the bits of change, but at the end of the day I put it all back (and a little bit more that my DH had emptied out of his pocket).
I didn't count it properly as I put it back in, but couldn't help noticing that there was definitely over £100.
Can't think of any other reason to open it again so I'm looking forward to a lovely total on November 5th!Declutter our home in 2024
