    I haven't been able to pot anything, but DH assures me that he potted £4+ over the weekend which was lying in his pocket. "That's what I've got to do, isn't it?" Well, of course. :D He's well and truly trained! :beer:

    BTW, also at the moment I've huge PC problems and have to buy another laptop - so, if anyone can recommend one I'd be grateful as I've not got a lot of time or ability to research them. I'm hoping for another Laptop about 14" wide so please let me know if you know of one, thanks so much.

    Thank you for my star Sue. As for what laptop i have always loved Acers. I know i'm probably just lucky but i have had 3 in my lifetime and never had a problem with any. My dad currently still uses 1, my mum has another and i have the newest one. I also had a Dell but that blew up one day......... AND they were all refurbished! I hope this helps you.

    Stay happy and strong. You are a fantastic lady and your DD is lucky to have you and your support.
    Hello lovely people. Please can you add me to your list for this year's sealed pot challenge. Me & my OH have a holding pot and I am this very minute taking the silver from it which totals £1.95 and adding it to the sealed pot :T It's a good, good feeling!! xx

    No no no Jenny. You don't get to just sign up for this year. Once your here we get to keep you forever!! Year after year you belong to our family and save with us! We don't like people leaving so once you have a number it is yours forever!!!

    Things have been hectic recently and with being skint I've been unable to pot. But I've been paid, I've been spending, I've been collecting change and all my spending matches the new spreadsheet I made which is amazingggggg! But I shall save that for on my diary instead of boring you lot.

    Potted today - £10.18 :P I shall update my signature now x

    Evening all, hope all are well.

    jennypennysaver - welcome and the best of luck with your savings.

    Potted 3 x £2 coins and that's me over the £500 mark. That's basically all I need for Xmas and everything from now on until the 5th November will be a bonus. So Xmas is "free" again this year, I can relax already. lol

    Keep on potting, anything you can - it all adds up and hopefully to another record target.

    I need to run an idea by you guys.

    I want to take advantage of Halif@x £125 join bonus and £5 a month however I don't want to close my Barclays account.

    I was thinking of opening an account with another bank and transferring some money and 2 DD's to it. Then after a week or two switching that account to The Fax.

    Would they let me do this? Does it matter how long you have an account with a bank for?

    Thank you for your help x

    The Halifax offer is ending the end of May so get in quick if you want to do that :-) and no it doesnt matter how long you hold the account for they do get suspicious though when they ask for the expiry date of the account you are switching but you just need to say its a new card as you lost the last one :)

    Potted £5 today from milk purchase.
