    Another £3.17 potted today.
    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!

    Helloooooooooooooo Potterssssssssssssssss

    HAd quite a bit of change go in the pot today from various sources, including 3 x £2 coins :D

    Also had a bit of a win on the bingo, put in £10 and won £50 (and took it out sharpish!) still got £10 in bonus money and £13 in real money in there for another day but very happy with my profit, plus signed up through cashback so hopefully another £30 in the pot if it clears :D

    I'm sure someone posted that they are expecting a new baby, congrats to you :D

    Sue, enjoy your hen weekend, don't get too drunk ;)

    Now I must go tuck DD in to bed and hopefully watch some supernatural (totally addicted to this tv series! we've watched 5 series in about 3 weeks!)

  • Ahh the upside of my OH spending (too much) time lying on the sofa is I pick up the money that falls out of his pockets! £1.50 yesterday and a big old £4 today and pot it before he notices :rotfl:
  • Found £30 today in a birthday card, thought I'd already added it to the purse and had 'spent' it so off to the shop I went and spent £9.98 on Wine. The other £20.02 into the pot and more days off the penny savings at the end of the year.

    Third week of the month has ended and I have potted £20 with another £10 to go in when I have got change from the other £20 note that I have in my purse.

    I'm finding I'm going out shopping less and less at the moment. I enjoy potting more than spending. Went a bit mad at Christmas and bought quite a few DVDs. Not watched one of them yet!

  • Congratulations Penneydreams!!

    Well you will all have to forgive me but I sinned and opened my pot in order to buy some baby stuff that had came up at a very cheap price! €90 was in the pot so this covered a bouncer and changing table for us, both second hand but from mamas and papas so I'm pretty chuffed!

    Pot is sealed up again and I'll be putting that €90 to my total as the pot is being used for baby things this year anyways! Hehe

    Back into my naughty box :D
