    Ha ha just noticed our 'pot' opening day is the day before Doctor Strange opens here in cinemas. Ohhhhhhhhhhh that's going to be expensive with all the magazines and merch that I'm always never going to buy. Damn you Benedict!! :rotfl:

    Thanks for the star Sue :staradmin:

    I used the charger last night for the first time, it actually has 6 USB ports, not 4. I charged my phone and ipad and they both seemed fine. Will see if there's anything else I can load it with to test it.

    My Blaze has lasted another day. Still going. I suppose it all depends on how much you 'play' with it too. I'm trying to ignore the fact that the step count is on there and not look at it too much. I like the fact it has the time aswell as I was terrible for putting my watch on.

    Welcome hopefuljoy, glad to see someone else joining us. We're a chatty bunch although I should really pop in more than I do.

    Azzzaa, I have no idea what I'm going to spend it on. I have a loan to pay off but I'm also going to Copenhagen on opening day for a long weekend so it might be spent enjoying that a little more than we normally would. And of course there's Christmas to think about. Would be nice just to have the extra to spend on me though after all the hard work!

    Speaking of loans, I've had a full payment taken this month for a loan that is completed (I did a bit of juggling and took a new loan at a lower interest rate and then I will be overpaying to the same amount as the one I paid off). They will be getting the sharp side of my tongue at lunchtime when I can give them a call!

    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....

    :0)

    Can i ask what the sleep tracking is like? I have a Garmin vivosmart which i love. I bought my mum one but the sleep doesn't seem to work for her. I'd like to get her something better if you wouldn't mind giving me your opinion.

    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.

    Sue-UU I'm sorry to hear about your friend :(

    crimson.addict the fact you're still potting is what counts :D

    I withdrew a £10 note the other day but haven't spent it yet nor can I remember why I even needed £10 in cash in the first place :think: Regardless, it wasn't spent so has gone into the pot :dance:

    I keep looking at my bank balance and wondering why it looks so healthy with all this potting :rotfl:

  • Good morning everyone.
    I've not updated for quite a while but I am now up to £173.01 as I received a £10 Amazon credit for doing a survey and I add any credits/vouchers to my pot. I've also got lots of loose change in a another pot but I won't know how much is in that until it is full.
