    both of my terramundi pots have a 'just' the right sized hole in the bottom, covered by sellotape. ** with a little controlled tapping with the bottom of a spoon did the job**

    Works for me.

    Just potted £6 - 2 x 50p I had sat in my purse at the end of the week and £5 from a voucher I got from Morris*ns for my food shopping. Also renewed Pip's insurance for .60 cheaper than last renewal but am in for £11 cashback. As soon as that comes in I'll put £11 in my pot. I'm getting the 'thud' too when I fill my pot and it's good!!

  • Just potted £1.20 - found it in my jacket pocket, now I'll go and check the rest of my jackets
    Debt free - Mortgage free - Work free ( in that order :) )
  • Lots of lovely pot and tin feeding being done by everyone. Well done:beer:

    Potted my weekly £2 coin into my piggy and a small handful of shrapnel into my sealed bucket. No idea how much as I want it to be a surprise at the end:o

    My purse is very small (too mean to buy a new one:rotfl:) so it needs emptying regularly but that's great as far as this challenge goes:j. Had to put all higher value coins in the Holding Pot though as will probably need to spend most of them before the month is over;)
  • Hello Potters,
    Ive just caught up on all the posts, really enjoy reading them, they help to keep me motivated..
    Have been potting but not counting as really want it to be a surprise.

    I have just booked my summer holiday for june and then in july i plan on booking flights for a 2 week holiday to Thailand for next year for my 30th so really need to save save save!! Worked out im going to need about £500 by june and another £500 by end of july!! Think its a huge bit ambitious but am going to put every bit of effort into achieving this!!!

    Happy Monday everyone :)

    Haven't had time to keep up with the thread since returning to work - I can't believe the first week is over, it happened so quickly. I have potted a few of my precious pounds and pennies over the week though :)

    Congratulations on your anniversary Sue-UU and so very sorry about your cat Lucyhope xx

  • Good afternoon everyone :)

    Hope everyone is well and not too cold today, to be honest I am so sick of the rain I will gladly take a bit of an icy blast for a few days, change is as good as a rest :rotfl:

    £6 plopped into my jar this morning, happy with my progress so far, just want to keep this momentum going for the rest of the year.

    It is so wonderful to hear how well everyone is doing, thank you all so much for your encouragement, have a great week y`all xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Determined to save, save, save :p
