  • My pot is nearly full :) I have managed to get lots of shiny 2 coins as changes so fingers crossed that it adds up. Getting excited for the 5th.

    Never felt the urge to chuck some coins in the pot then this weekend, I haven't been out today so haven't spent any money, but is like the final few metres of a race you get a second wind and you are desperate to get to the finish line....

  • "By heck you've been saving like someone possessed, TheDapster, that's the way to do it though! I can't wait to see what the 5th brings for you! "

    :D gosh yes wouldn't that be good to save that much so fast! I have to admit I've been saving all year though :D

    I've been away this weekend with 50 students and I'm shattered but I've put about £3 in my holding pot (yep, been reading the first post :rotfl: ) so it's all good :)

    Whatever I don't spend out of my housekeeping by Friday will be squeezed into one of my pots.

    Now, can I estimate 5 days worth of spending in November, or not spend at all for the first 5 days so that I can put it all into the pot!

    These next few days are going to go so slowly!
