    Sue-UU. You are right. I thought I was a reformed character before this challenge but seein how much I saved in Jan by potting money each time I finished something was quite exhilarating.
    Back for the No Buying Toiletries challenge. I pledge to only buy when I run out of a product that is not already in my stash no matter what wonderful emails land in in my Inbox or threads I read on MSE re: glitches!

    Just a little update- I haven't had much time to get on the site lately! My sealed pot has a counter so shows that since the start of the challenge I've managed to pot £13.77 all in 1p, 2p and 5p coins! And I haven't raided the pot once :beer: still only about a quarter full too!
