Evening
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!Declutter our home in 2024

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

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
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

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%)

Hello potters:wave: Well what a glorious day it is here. Sun is shining :j I was moaning last night about having no change to pot and DS2 has gone and left 80p for me to stick in the pot
Hope everyone has a lovely day
Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

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.

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!!
