. You sound like you are on top of all the problems though. Glad you had a lovely holiday. Where did you go?
I went on a 7 day tour of Cyprus and Turkey, finishing with 8 days in the final hotel in Turkey. I'm still recovering from all the travelling and different hotels!

Morning everyone.
Gosh it's thursday already, and that means that tomorrow is potting day for me *shakes purse to find it is completely empty*.
Looks like it will be a bank withdrawal this week to start off my new tin. I will be running a bar in a couple of weeks time (still waiting on the licence to come through) and I might need to open tin 1 to use the change from it as my float. It will then be getting banked after that but will keep a definite amount in my signature to keep count for November

That sound lovely, although I know what you mean about recovering from travelling. I find travelling really tiring too. even just on uk work trips by train. xx

I have money saved for such repairs and replacements so I don't have to dip into my sealed pot - good job, as there wouldn't be enough in there for all I need.
Such a shame you came back to so many things having gone wrong, Frogletina, but you're a very level-headed girl and do the right thing in saving brilliantly, a huge amount to be said for that!
I'm thrilled to bits it was compensated with you having so many memories of a truly wonderful holiday! :grinheart
Thanks 32b3, memorable is definitely the word for it. :heartsmil Re the traveling and tiredness, I think it's the same for us all, no matter what the distance or the reason.
Good and regular saving, Dragon Lily!
I'm not sure if on your sig the amount taken out is included, MrsC....tobe, but if it's not then please add it so you don't forget.I opened my sealed tin today as I though it was full however when opened I found it was only 3/4 full oh well I trotted into town anyway and paid £50 off my credit card and bought two more tins one to put my 5 & 10ps in and one to put my 50s & 20ps in I haven't counted the 1& 2ps up yet.

You can't tell the difference between 3/4 full and actually full, Lincs?! Anyway, please could you add the cash taken out to your siggy?
Very well done, 12 month challenge, fingers crossed for your weekend haul however much it is!
Brilliant work, mrs-moneypenny, and well done for keeping an eye on DH's side of the bed!! :rotfl:
Some really wonderful potting going on, folks, I'm so happy for you all. Stay focused with it!!
Have a FANTASTIC WEEKEND, Potters, not great weather wise but....Pot as and when you can! :dance:
