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

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.No longer ...tobe! Married 20/06/13MFW 2021 #117 £5415.40/£6000MFW 2022 #77 £3740/£3000MFW 2023 #82 £0/£30000

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

Oh the dilemma!!! Just paid for an item which should go in my 'selling' pot but she paid with change including 2x £2 coins!!! £2 coins go in the terramundi! Issue resolved by me putting a fiver in the selling pot and the coins in the sealed terramundi - bonus is I've saved twice!!!0

this made me giggle, I did the same with my dad the other day, when I was round their house, I saw a flood of coins leave his pocket, then asked him to get me a drink and quickly swiped up the haul before he returned ;-)
