    Good afternoon everyone! :hello:

    What a busy week - out every night, including helping at a school dance showcase - but still time to pot, if not time to get on the laptop to tell you about it. :D

    DH is still leaving cash lying around, so finds it disappearing little by little from his bedside table into the pot. I received change from buying a school lunch, so that's gone in the pot too (along with other bits of shrapnel from my purse!).

    Have a great Easter weekend.

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Sorry I've not really been active this month. Gave up sugar for cancer research and it's left me really tired and drained. Still been potting, though! Over the £100 mark now, Christmas is going to be a breeze at this rate! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone has a lovely Easter

    Sorry, what is this 'change' you speak of?! Not sure my DD grasps that concept when I give her lunch money (although admittedly it's only once a week)!! :p :rotfl:

  • I joined a while back but not having much luck due to relationship problems (he ever used to pay for much at all and so I used my money on him when I shouldn't have) but now I've broken up with him & I want to start to rebuild my life again as I literally have no money saved up (had to use it to cover myself more than twice in the last 6 months)

    I'm going to have to count everything up again tomorrow - I have next to nothing left.

    welcome back positivelypunked sorry about your breakup, it's never easy no matter how much of a plonker they are in the end, we invest so much of ourselves in our relationships with people in our lifetime and each one teaches us lessons about what's important and what's not...


    If you've not looked at the first page, you're still there #54 just take each day as it comes whatever you can manage to pot is still more than you had yesterday :)
