    Managed to pot £2 yesterday. It clunked into the bottom of the moneybox and rattled round a bit. On a mission now to get the bottom covered again so I get a more satisfying clinck when I pot a coin. (Filled up the moneybox once so starting from scratch again.)

    Not heard from DS yet. I'll probably get a croaky call when he lands back at the airport and nothing inbetween. I'm sure he's having a ball!

    Slept really well on Sunday night, thank goodness.

    Was talking to someone last night about triathlons. I already run and cycle, just need to get swimming better. Apparently a sprint tri is really achievable so I might start trying to improve my swimming so I can have a go. It will also mean I get better value from my gym membership. What's not to like?

    Evening all, hope all are well, especially those that have been under the weather of late.

    A few small shops and used notes in the s/scan tills.
    Result = 4 x £2 coins - potted. £19 needed now in June and a week to go - a doddle. :D

    £6.40 added from my lovely mother.

    Apparently i had bought her a box of expensive tea some time ago and she had been putting 20p away every time she had a cup. I recently found out she had been buying the same tea from Te$co for £4.45 for 15 bags :eek: The company had a 3 for 2 offer on recently so i ordered a few boxes of 50 which worked out at £6.67 each for her. She is going to continue with the 20p a cup (as that's how much the bags are normally) and i'll keep an eye out for more 3 for 2 offers :)

    And £3.02 from my purse in change

    Hope they get you drunk at that price. :p

    They're Te@Pigs. We both love them but try to just have them as a treat. We are big tea drinkers so it would work out extremely expensive to make the switch lol.

    I gave her 1 box of extra strong earl grey and 1 box of morning glory which is an every day brew. She was made up and i have stored the rest at my house so she can have them rather than paying Te$co prices. I also bought rhubarb and ginger mum loves it, i can't try it because i have a cold :(

    In potting news: £2.10 change from 2 ice-creams and 31p from a bag of quavers has gone in.... my diet is not going well

    In other news: I only need to save £177.31 in the next 2 weeks and i'll be debt free a whole month early!!!!
