    I haven't had anything to pot for a few days, at this rate I'll be lucky if I manage £20 by November. :D

    Popping to the shops later so will hopefully have some pennies to pot.

    Enjoy the weekend whatever you're up to.

    Afternoon Potters!!! :hello: I see you're all saving fantasically, never stop because come November you'll be ecstatic with all your potted cash!! :D For all those of you who are a little poorly or maybe low for whatever reason, I hope you soon feel so very much better. Here are some {{{hugs}}} to hopefully help you through.

    Oh dear, Frogletina, yes, I can imagine how mad you were with the exchange rate, I know I'd have been hopping too. Try not to think any more about it and concentrate on having a wonderful time as you so deserve it!! :j

    Didn't do bad at all with the potting did I, 32b3, amaxing how much people throw away! Must get the courage up one day to count my "findings" pot up, it's so heavy though and has accumulated over the last couple of years.

    A terrific time indeed, mrs-moneypenny, good luck with that peny challenge! ;)
    £2.00 not much but been pre-occupied with fixing my poor sick laptop.

    Good saving, Fairyfingers, but I really hope someone is able to help you sort your computer out. Fingers crossed for you. :)
    Oh no it definitely doesn't belong to them. It was a couple of boxes of old paperwork of mine that I took out of the loft, sorted, recycled what I could then took the rest in for shredding as I don't have a shredder at home. The cash was in a couple of different envelopes. Glad I checked them all before I shredded the contents!

    Forgive me, MrsC....tobe, I didn't mean to sound accusing and hope my post didn't come over too much as if I was. :o I can see exactly what you mean and what a blessing it was to come across it!!!! :j By golly, you're doing amazingly with your potting!

    The weight of your pot will now spur you on even more, Dragon Lily, now £4.50 richer too!!!! :dance:

    I hope you soon feel very much better, Louise, keep concentrating on your DH and his jangly pockets to help put a smile on your face! :D

    Evening potters, popping in for a quickie tonight. :eek:

    Potted £40 since my last post and £20 of that was from my bank switching episodes. £200 potted so far and on track.

    Some great potting going on. Nice to see, please keep it up.
    Some great finds and bingo wins. They all help.

    oooh popping in for a quickie eh, Lynsey!! :rotfl:Nothing much I can add to that aside from - lovely to see you again. :D Brilliant saving and I so agree with your highlighted sentences.

    Excellent saving, mrs-moneypenny!

    I see you never give up, 12 month challenge, nor should you so keep right on potting!! :j

    I'm so glad everyone's motivating you, rockabillygirl, stay potting as often as possible!

    Thanks Lynne. Well done on being so sensible with your cash while you're away.

    Thanks a lot, Selene, amazing potting too!!! :dance:

    It's quite true that every little helps, tatabubbly, so keep on adding more to it!!! :D

    Just never give up, ETO, as every little bit helps!

    Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND, Potters. Wrap up, keep safe, healthy and - potting!!

    Another £3.50 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!
