    Hello fellow potters

    Had a week off last week and although we didn't go away, we tried to holiday as if we were away. Therefore, no electronic gadgetry, household chores etc was allowed and I must say we had a lovely break. Back in the real world today though. Will be reading back on posts and hopefully restarting my potting in the very near future. Happy Monday everyone :)

    My shrapnel pot isn't sealed so I've just 'bought' £7 worth of 2p pieces out of it for the kids to waste in the arcades on holiday.

    Tenth Anniversary 1,000 Posts I've been Money Tipped! Name Dropper
    £10 added to my pot, called back a debt that was repaid today, (I asked for it back in £1 and swopped a £5 in sainsburys earlier when I bought milk)

    So I have reached my target, but I'm going to keep going and see what happens, not sure if I will increase it, ill give it some thought...

    I have to confess I opened my pot and banked it in my savings account, we're moving house this week and I didn't like the idea of it getting mislaid/pinched in the process, I've put the total in my sig and once settled will carry on until declaration day :D

    BUT I HAVE A WOPPING £675 SO FAR :j:j:j:

    A few coppers in the pot from a purse empty (Non food budget money).

    Just found a random £10 note in my money saving bag... To pot or not? I’m a bit short on funds for my food budget so far this month due to stockpiling toilet roll and kitchen roll from Makro (£27ish). Or should I split in into change and just pot half???

    In all honesty, im on it soo often it might as well be me :rotfl: I reacon i've made a bum dent on it Sue sits me there so much :D

    It also means we can count up how many days it is til pot-opening day.Sue hates it when we do that too early :rotfl:.

    :rotfl: :rotfl: thats what we like :D and :eek: we've corrupted mummytummy already . . . excellent :rotfl:

    Very well done you TheCatsandDogsMother :j :j that is amazing!

    Hope you had fun on your trip Automac

    Well done on your good news Clairelm! :j :j

    :eek: Mrs_MoneyPenny! dont let Sue see you dont have your pot sealed! you'll be on that naughty step with me when she gets back! :D

    Well done on your total MummyTummy, and tbh I dont blame you banking it before you moved as something always goes astray and would have been heartbreaking if it had been your tin :(

    EVkizzy, if your a bit short on your spends then hold on to that £10'er in the back of your purse or a seperate unsealed pot, and pot anything left if and when you know you don't need it. Don't leave yourself short just for the sake of the challenge

    I had £4.67 in change that got slung in the tin last night :D im a bit short on the change front recently, I dont know where all my change is going! :eek: my pot is most upset
