    DH found a lonely pound in a kitchen drawer last night. As he made to slip it into his trouser pocket, I shouted "in the pot!" I think I gave him a bit of a fright.....:eek:

    Poor little pot, seems so very light now :sad:

    Never mind, I'm going to try so hard this year :laugh:

    Excellent work, siju! Thanks for the giggle, I could picture it perfectly, sounds so much like my DH! Poor old pot will soon start clinking rather than clucking - IF - you add more in it, now there's a challenge! ;) I'm holding you to that (sort of) promise, though you did well this year considering all the family events that must have cost a small fortune.

    Money very well saved, Emilou! All the best in going all out to save hard.

  • £4.60 added today :) DS2 has announced he is buying his own place, saving enough for a deposit at the age of 21 makes me soooo proud! I need to step my game up and do some serious saving to help him fund the move xx

    Sold something on FB so a lovely £10 note in the pot tonight :D

    DH is currently in a strop as his xbox one controller has stopped working and he has to wait until tomorrow to take it back and exchange it :eek: and yes, suddenly he's very tired and sneezy . . . . ;)
