    Morning Peeps :)


    Well I'm pleased because Thursday it's my Birthday and I'm getting very very spoiled!! A lovely close Friend is taking me out on Thursday for Lunch....then I'm going out on Friday night with some Friends from College and then I'm getting taken out for a Meal with my Family on Sunday Evening...So I am feeling VERY lucky, very grateful and a little bit excited :D


    I think I Potted about 65p yesterday morning but was so frantic with Work over the Weekend that I didn't get the chance to Post yesterday....


    I'm not sure if I said anything but I think it's worth saying again :D I have now lost 2 stones and 1 pound....I'm aiming for just over 5 stones in total by the end of the Summer....so I'm nearly halfway there already :D:D:D


    Happy Birthday to Lynne and Miss Lily....I hope you BOTH had wonderful Days and Celebrations...


    Speak to you all soon xXx :)

    Good Morning, not been on here for a few weeks, but of course I haven't forgotten about my pot... (My children are so excited to count this in Nov). Had a brand new purse for Christmas, so emtipted out my old one and all coins into my pot.

    To be honest I actually have been very good the past few weeks and have not spent hardly any money at all, apart from the usual..

    £5 in pot yesterday, pot one is almost full, still squeezing coins in though! so can't wait for this to buy my second.

    Hope everyone has a happy week xx

    Afternoon potters, hope you are all in fine fettle...

    I've just been reading through the posts from the weekend, happy birthday to Lynne and Miss Lily, hope you enjoyed yourselves :j

    Still feeling a bit tired and fragile from the weekend as DH and I went to a ball on Saturday night. Unbelievable, I know, but we didn't drink any alcohol, just danced solidly for about 3 and a half hours. My poor feet could have lit a fire by the end of the night :dance: :shocked: and my poor body feels like it's been run over by a steamroller! Oh, and it's dance class again tonight :eek:

    All that said, I have just emptied my purse and have £3.05 to add to my pot :cool:

    Hello again everyone! Just realised I haven't posted in here for a while.
    I've decided not to track every penny that I put in my pot moving forward, I'd like it to be a suprise when it gets to opening up day!

    I've managed to pot £4 today, that's another 3 days marked off the penny savings! It seems like quite a lot for so early in the year but it will tail off a bit when I've got a lot of the highest amounts out of the way.

    Ahh ty for Miss Lilys birthday wishes :D she had a very nice day and is now full of 'when its my party . . . ' and 'At my party i'm going to . . . ' she's slowly driving me up the wall :rotfl:

    Went to the bank today and took out all the cashback i've accumulated so . . . .

    71 x £2 coins in the £2 coin tin and 13 x £1 coins in the shrapnel tin :D plus I had 2 more £2 coins from having to buy Miss Lily some lipsil as she has unfortunately inherited my ultra dry lips and I had 75p back from buying bread today, so pots are extremely fat this evening :D

  • Evening all

    2 pots for me over the weekend. If I have a pound coin in my purse I move it to the back of my purse. After a few days if I haven't spent it, I pot it.

    Twice I've played this little game this week. (little things please little minds) :D
