still potting..

mrs-moneypenny

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.

£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...

Added £2.50 to the pot today.

Potted $7.50 today which included 2 $2 coins. My massive terramundi is still mainly empty though haha.
On another happy note I managed to pay $1610 off my credit card.

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

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???

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!

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 im a bit short on the change front recently, I dont know where all my change is going! :eek: my pot is most upset

Thanks Jakes-Mum.
I do sometimes get carried away with things and leave myself short. I’ll put it in a holding pot for now. Good advice.

Evening potters
Hope you are all well.
Still potting Sue!! You've taught me well

Happy to tell you that as of today our debt management plan is over.......six long years of working our butts off, sticking to a budget, sticking to a list in the supermarket, putting every spare penny into our sealed/virtual sealed pots.....its been hard but I am glad we had to go through it.
I will never take money for granted ever again. I have learned to save!!! I am converted!!!
I want to thank each and every one of you who has offered support and guidance to me. Not one of you know me personally but you have helped me through some dark times and for that I am eternally grateful.

Updated siggy and am heading over to the debt free thread to share my news!!!

Love to you all

Emily xxxx
