    Crimson, here's some p's
    Ppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppppp I think that's 69! But here is another one to take you over £1000 P. Cute puppies. I really want a dog but I don't want to leave it home alone all day, so I won't get one.

    £7 potted today. I am so glad it's nearly over though. 10 June is a bad day for me. 364 good ones until the next time:D

    Potting £4.00 today. Been a slow potting week as I'm hardly spending anything now I'm taking a packed lunch to work. Good news is I can hardly lift my pot now - it's so heavy!!:j I could lift it with one hand before :)

    Doubly good day today. Managed a NSD but today had to pay for parking (which I can claim back, so didn't count as spending) and got two lovely gold coins in change - in the pot they went!

    Thank you all for your kind words everyone, they are much appreciated :o

    Have set up a Debt Free Diary to hopefully keep me on track with my finances. Also potted 1p today, but there's much more to go in the pot -- need to count up the coins and pot them but there are two furry four-legged hot water bottles snoring away on my lap and woe betide me if I get up to pot my change :p

    Crimson, that's a wonderful milestone and you're so close to it :T Hopefully by the next time you post, you'll have potted that remaining 68p :)

    Hope everyone else is doing well with their potting :D

    I've been potting over the last couple of weeks and I think my husband is getting into the potting spirit too! He's been saving some rogue £1 coins o add to my pot :)

    Most recent potting activity was yesterday when I managed to put £9 into the pot :) It's getting so full and barely making a noise when i drop the coins in, but I'm determined not to open it until I can't get another coin in.
    CC1: £4481.14/ £5031.14 (12% paid off, £600) | CC2:£3307/ £3807 (14.4% paid off, £550) | Loan: £10,528.20/ £15,792.30((33% paid off, £5,264))

    July debt total: £24,630.44 | New debt total: £18,316.34 | Total debt paid: £6,414.10 (26%)

    Morning all and another glorious one here again. Sitting in the garden listening to Gold Radio. It's a hard life!! lol
    Don't forget to feed and provide water for the birds - if you can. Lots of fledglings about. I've been buying large loaves from ASDA when reduced to 10p, just to feed the birds. :D
    Thanks Lynsey and 32b3in2013.

    You're welcome, credit where credit is due and an amazing achievement. You've actually spurred me on to hit my "target" by next weekend. Last year, I was quite an aggressive saver (for my level), but relaxed this year. BUT, I'll be more aggressive for at least a week. :rotfl:
    Not everyone is able to reach those sort of heights, but, try and over-exceed, no matter what your level is. Good luck all.

    JoJoC - #2 must be very close?? Please inform us when the little one is born. Best wishes.

    Potted 7 x £1 coins.

    Enjoy the weather, this is the UK and it doesn't usually last!!
