Evening Potterssssssssssssss

Ahh Sue, its a rare occurence that I don't get my own way :rotfl: and long may it continue

DS just got offered a second paper round :j :j from the same people he does the first for, so he will now deliver 25 papers a day, 6 days a week, worked out his wage for him and he'll get £102 every 4 weeks :eek: what the heck??? I used to deliver the same paper when I was a teen, I had to go all the way into town AND go out repeatedly on a thursday and friday to collect payment and I earn't £6 a week (if the so and so's bloomin paid up)! His get dropped off at the house, no money to collect either! anyone needs extra cash go get a paper round :eek: no wonder I see so many older people delivering them!

No pennies today as had to buy my spuds with my card maybe i'll hit the kid up for some money :rotfl:

Evening fellow potters

I have managed another pot today. I had some change in the pocket of my bag. I even managed to forget it was there. I just scooped it out and potted it.

I want to have a nice surprise in November so I am trying not to keep count.

Everyone is doing so well and considering January is nearly out already we will be counting up before we know it. :T

Happy potting all

15p potted today though there's money in my holding pot too. I did pot some more bits last weekend but forgot to post as our poor bunny was ill. We had to have her put to sleep on Monday night. She was 8 and the vets suspected that her kidneys were failing. Poor mite didn't eat all weekend. So sad. We have no bunnies left now.

Thank you for the lovely welcome!
A bit about me..
I'm a 25 year old married mother of one.
My husband and I bought our first house in October 2014 after a lot of hard work and saving, and with me being on maternity we have since continued our frugal life style. I have been back at work part time since last August but only do about 10 hours a week as childcare is too expensive, we decided we would both rather I spent most of my time at home with the little one.
I am a natural saver and although we earn very little put together we still manage to do nice things.
Current savings;
»I am currently saving £2 coins for a trip to Disney in about ten years haha
»I'm obviously saving change in my sealed tin for Christmas 2016.
»Working on 6 months of expenses £7030/£7200
»Saving for maternity with next child (if and when!)- target £3700
There's more but feel like my post is getting a little tedious haha.. I am a little obsessed with saving!
Potted £10 of tips from work last night, is it ok to include tips from my job?

I'm sure that's fine as it's money that you wouldn't normally have isn't it so pot away!!
