"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

MrsShazbat

Potted another 2 x £2s on Friday evening before our London trip yesterday, so #066 total is now £265.13

London was marvellous, even if it was only for about 6 hours. I bought an afternoon tea voucher for my friend's 40th last August, shortly before we found out when my hubby's surgery was and then before it all went horribly wrong. So what we originally planned to be a girlie weekend away from home, ended up getting pushed back and squeezed in just before the voucher expired. I drove, we parked for £2 and caught the Tube into town - I'm totally in love with my Oyster card. Champagne afternoon tea was lovely. Didn't really have to spend anything except on a couple of refreshments, but unfortunately my Kryptonite is/are peanut M&Ms so a trip into M&Ms World has to be a thing for a hideously expensive pick n mix

Morning potters, hope everyone had a good weekend
We had DGSs first birthday party which was a lovely chance to catch up with friends and family.
Sorted a load of things I'd promised to give away so managed to take a load of them with me to pass on which was a great feeling. As it got rid of things we didn't want but found them new homes.
End of the Easter hols so I'm back at work today which I'm looking forward to.

AND I potted £25 this morning in my sealed pot.

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. I love mine and wouldn't be without one as it spurs me on so much. :j

Hi Sue.
I'm sure I changed my signature just to show the amount banked etc instead of a total saved. Will double check it after I've been on here. It confused me a little the way I did it so I took off the amount that I was tracking in my pot.

I splashed out and got myself the new Fitbit Blaze. I had the Flex but it doesn't do all that much and I wanted something with a bit more to it, and because I had money saved up from this then that's what I did with it.

The Surge is actually cheaper than the Blaze in Argos at the moment, by a couple of quid, but I went for the Blaze instead purely because you can get different straps for it. The Surge has GPS tracking but if I'm out I always have my phone with me for music so I can track through it anyway. The straps are expensive but I'm sure there will be compatible ones on the market soon if they aren't already!

The only downside I'd say for the Blaze is the battery life. I've charged it three times already since I got it and will probably need to do it tomorrow night aswell. Just need to remember to take the charger when I go away. It has a USB charger so need a plug for it, I can't remember if it came with one.

Speaking of USB Chargers. My friend gave me a Choetech charger that she bought me from Amazon. It has 4 USB points on it and apparently when all are in use it charges all 4 at the same normal charging speed. She got one for her mum and dad and they put kindles and ipads on it at the same time. I've not tried it yet but once I have I will try and remember to let you all know what it's like. I must do that this week as it would be handy to have that for our holidays next week.

I'm a bounts user too but I find that it doesn't track as well as it used to and I have a lot of days missing.

Oooh I am in love with almond M&Ms but you can only get them in USA so I ask everyone who goes

Hello everyone

Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We visited our DS in university for a presentation evening and were proud as punch that he won an award for his Final Major Project. It seems the last 3 years have been worthwhile Now the job hunting starts.......

Meanwhile, the potting continues and I have £7.05 to add to my pot. Well done everyone for your potting, it seems we are all doing extremely well xx

£6 added to the Terrimundi pot, from a refund and called back some money owed from bailing out a colleague out of the car park...

Every penny counts

Evening

Peanut butter M&Ms are my fav. You can get them in tesco in the food from abroad aisle, but they charge a fortune for them. The also have them in a shop round the corner from my office, but they change around £6 per bag in there so that's a no-no too!! I stock up when I go to NY, but the more I buy the more I eat. Westie, they might have the almond ones in tesco too. Are they in a beige bag? My peanut butter ones are in an orange bag.

25p potted today.
