    Plodding away - a cheque for £31 put in the bank today, into the pot when it clears.

    Ok, just getting round to it. I banked £180 and instead of going to the bank for money for last weekend, I bought my Fitbit from my bank balance and kept the remainder out as spends.
    Didn't need as much as I thought last weekend and I'm going to need some money for this weekend so I'm repotting all of the £2 coins, all of the 50p coins, and half of the £1 coins, and a £10 note.

    A grand total of £69.50 (including the wee mans kitchen £10) being potted this week, well technically 2 weeks worth! Ya dancer!

    Hi there SPCers, and a very happy WEEKEND to you all! :D

    Ah..there you are, 32b3! :j It's good to see you back and I hope all's been well, though I do understand it isn't always easy to come to the thread, life doesn't always allow us.
    Potted £1.50 today. Managed to sell some knitted items and made £70!! Really chuffed :j I paid £50 into my savings account and treated me and the hubby to a nice afternoon tea. :)

    An excellent way of making money, Dragon Lily!! :T Though I remember you saying about it before. Good that you were able to save AND treat your hubby! Keep it up.

    Some marvellous earnings via Quidco, MrsShazbat and jakes-mum!!!! Well done to you both!! :T:T

    All little bits are worth reporting, Dizzy Imp, and remember, little expands to large if you keep on adding! :eek: Ooops, well in a manner of speaking :rotfl: ;)

    It sure does Sue.... We broke his money pot open as it was full - £235 was in there! The child is richer than me ha ha

    That's fantastic, Hicksy, VERY well done for him, it'll be wonderful for him to have!!!!!! :T

    You too, Emily, always lovely to see you drop by. :D

    Many thanks, Lynne. Well done with the £10er. BTW, did you have a good holiday?

    Good to see you and your wobbly rear, Nicki_Sue, well...you anyway! ;) That £31 cheque was an amazing saving, well done you!!!! :j

    Great work, MrsC....tobe!!!! :T I can't see it but I presume you added your banked amount on your siggie?? If not, don't forget as it all goes to be declared in November. BTW. You mentioned your Fitbit - not being nosey but which one did you get?? I'm asking as I've had my "FB One" since they came out and it's starting to go home so was wondering if you'd bought one of the later models and what it was like. If you'd sooner not say for any reason then please don't worry at all. :D I love mine and wouldn't be without one as it spurs me on so much. :j

    Thanks again for the get well wishes, folks, much appreciated, but I am ok now, honest. Just a normal (for me) blip that occurs and messes things up, but goes after a while. :cool: Take care all and {{{Hugs}}} to anyone that needs them, get well soon.

    Have an amazing weekend, Potters, starting with a GREAT SATURDAY. :DDon't forget - to keep potting! :dance:

    I have spent the school holidays decluttering,especially the children's bedrooms (full of stuff from demolished kitchen,garage,etc.And builders' dust-don't forget the builders' dust.)
    As part of the decluttering process,I gathered together enough old clothes to get £9.81 from Cash4Clothes.All of it,including a lovely £2 coin (and moslty £1s),has gone in my pot :j.

    Afternoon

    Sue - I have a fitbit charge, and i love it. I previously had the flex, I find the charge much more motivation as I can see the number of steps, flights of stairs, distance and calories burned etc all without getting my phone out. If anyone would like at fitbit friend to challenge, let me know and i will add you.

    I use bounts too Westie, I am about 200 points away from my 2nd voucher :) Might as well eh? I walk lots anyway, may as well get paid for doing it :)

    £4.28 potted today.

    Happy weekend everyone

    I only registered today as I saw the link in Martins Email,

    I dont have fitbit as I'm mobility challenged after my hip replacement but I do swim so I have a misfit speedo, which counts my swims, and steps, and more importantly my sleep cycle. so I have registered that....

    Ahh Ty Sue, I was quite pleased with my free money :D and thank you to the people who mentioned the fitbit! Its Dh's birthday today and I have been racking my brains for weeks about what to get him, took him out yesterday and got him a couple of games for the xbox but no real prezzie so had a look at the fitbit and its perfect. Am just waiting for him to come home to say what colour he wants and will be ordering him one of those fitbit Surge ones this afternoon :D

    In potting news, DH gave me his change from the pub this morning but I forgot to count it and I had a lovely 56p in my purse that is now safely in its new sealed home :D
