    Hi, I've just potted £10.35 which was every penny left in my purse. I will now put my next week's pocket money in my purse. I usually do this on a Friday but have changed days to see if this will make me spend less - don't ask!!! But I'll let you know if it works xx

    Five pounds for me this week. A bit less than recent weeks as just been on holiday to Barcelona (fantastic place) - still, it all adds up.
    Lots of good saving/potting taking place. Well done everyone.

    Hi. I've not been able to pop in for a while, everything went a bit crazy for a bit! I'm not being made redundant which was such a relief :) I'm still potting but I've not been counting, sorry! I have a little tin change goes in for a week or so in case I need some for parking and then I tip it all into my pot when I've not had to use it. Works really well but I'm not keeping track of what I've put in. At least it will be a surprise!!
