"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

MrsC....tobe

Just got round to do my potting for last week. Didn't have anything in my purse to empty out on Friday. Saturday we were heading away for the day and we decided to open the 'sales' tin to pay for it. We spent what we wanted and I've used what's left to pot in my pot! Another £38.50 added tonight and 14 days off my penny savings!!! And it's approaching Friday again so I hope I manage to pot this week.
I'm also trying for 20 no spend days this month and so far have 14 so need to try and squeeze in another few days before the end of the month.

Morning potters.
Dreamerhelen, I think you are doing brilliantly keeping on top of the bills etc while money is tight so don't beat yourself up, as you say you are still managing to pot a little. However much we manage to pot it will be a lovely bonus at opening time.

Hoe all are as well as can be.

Shhhh. Don't tell hubby but tonight I was sorting out washing from his sports bag ahead of the end of the season (winter sports) and I just happened to come across £21. What's his is mine and all that.....could have been worse for him as he dropped £10 just before that but I was a good girl and returned that one!

That's my kind of lucky find MrsC....tobe

Well I'm enjoying my last day in work before Easter with a delicious hot cross bun and coffee. I'll be 21 again tomorrow so although everyone else is working, I'm taking the day off :beer: I'm going to bake a cake ready for the family get together this weekend.

Put £1.00 in my pot last night and have another £3.12 to add to it tonight.

I'm not back in work until Wednesday, so probably won't be posting until then. Happy Easter everyone:easter_ba:EasterBun

Happy Easter to everyone.

Haven't been posting on this thread a while now. Every time I see the pot I feel guilty and chuck something in. Not sure how much is in there but few pounds does get in there once in a while.

First post back after the 'Mea Culpa' post.

Mortgage agreed, and deposit sent, now I feel po' so I have to start paying more attention to my neglected pots.

Taking Easter off, then going for it!
Enjoy the sunshine while it lasts, I need more Piriton already. Stupid pollen.

It's PAYDAY! Checked the bank balance this morning and I was thankfully still in the black at the end of the pay month so that means that I can pot the £40 for the kitchen that the wee fella bought for himself from his Christmas money. Excited muchly. I never knew I could save so much money until I've put my mind to it!

Will see if there's anything else to add to it later tonight and pop back in.

Happy Easter everyone. I hope you all have a funfilled weekend. I must remember to boil some eggs for the wee fella to roll on Sunday as he won't remember last years.

Tis me!!:j

Have so much coinage in my purse,it won't close,so will pot that in a few minutes.

Nothing much happening with the extension at the moment.As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago,the kitchen was being installed.Then last week ,kitchen floor was put down,and looks absolutely beautiful .So pleased with it.

Now,nothing is happening!!:eek:

Bedroom still needs to be floored and decorated,bathroom needs a shower,toilet and tiling,and kitchen still needs painting.The sodding painting makes me want to cry!!The extension itself was finished over a month ago.The painter,(recommended by,or one of the builders'),made an appointment about a week ago to come around and give us a quote.Was meant to be here 6.30pm last night.I know the traffic around here was bad,with everyone getting away for the holidays,so at 7pm I phoned to ask if he was on his way.He sounded a bit confused,ummed and ahhhed a bit,then told me he had already been and visited the wrong customer :eek::eek::eek:.
(I can't even imagine how that converation would have gone down:"Hi,Mrs Bloggsy-who-isn't-Saver-upper".
"Hi,Mr Painter,come in...."

Wouldn't most people have said "Oh,um,yes,um,er,-I wasn't expecting you today"???)

So,now he can't get to me until Tuesday night,6.30pm.I asked if he was sure he would be able to fit in the work at all.He said "Yes,I have you pencilled in for 18th April". WHAAAATTTTTT!!!!
My plan was to leave the kids at inlaws' alot these holidays,come over and start cleaning and tidying the house,and be ready to move back in before school goes back (11th April).Now it looks like it will be at least another month,probably 5-6 weeks.I just feel like crying.

On the off-chance,I phoned another painter (friend of a friend's sister-in-laws' great uncles' cousin or something.).He was lovely,and said that he would love to help out,being so close geographically,etc,but he is now taking bookings for work for January 2017 :eek::eek::eek:.

Still want to cry xx
