    Evening

    £1.60 potted. Its been raining and freezing here all day. I suppose thats normal for this time of the year, but because its been so warm recently, this weather has come as a bit of a shock to the system!

    I hope everyone is well.

    Evening All....


    So the last 24 hours have been somewhat emotional....Just family stuff going on which has distressed me quite a lot....but had a good Chat with Mum today which helped a lot...and am feeling calmer tonight....which is good :)


    I had my last Supervised Session at the Gym today....have now joined at a really reduced price as I was referred by the Doctor for exercise and now I can go when I like and even join in some Classes, which will be fun!!


    I also got Weighed this morning and have lost another 2 pounds....So I'm now up to 1 stones and 11 pounds lost....Which I think is the most I've lost in years and years...so I'm feeling pretty proud of myself!! :D


    Also managed to Pot 95p this Evening....so I'm pleased with that too...It all adds up across the Year.....


    Hope Everyone is well....Speak to you all soon xXx :)
  • Another 2 x £2 into the pot tonight.

    Good morning.
    I've never done this before so can I join you all please? Myself and my husband already save all our small change up and this year we're planning on putting it into the mortgage each time the jars are full. I'm planning the penny savings challenge in a sealed pot for myself which by the end of December works out about £670 so for 3rd November I'd target about £600. He doesn't know I'm doing this so will be a nice surprise for us.
    Will get a pot when I'm in town today :)
