    £2.41 potted this weekend. Went out with the mrs this weekend and spent a bit on treating her to some food, coffee, etc. So not much was left of my weekly cash budget. Ah well, back to being good. Have to enjoy ourselves every now & then I suppose. :)

    Wedding is booked for Dec 2017 so lots of time to save. I cleared all debts this year so next year should be good for saving. Having something to save for I think really helps :-)
    Another £2 potted today

    Sorry to hear of your loss bubbs. You sound like a good sibling for taking care of your sister. Life is very precious and we should try to make every day count, and find something good in every day.
    I've decided to do some extra last minute potting by NOT buying shop coffee each day this week - Managed two days so far.

    Thankyou, life is very precious and you dont know what you have or how lucky you are till it has gone:(

    Added mixed change from my wallet today. Over 2 quid I think.

    Found 20p road kill at work but I put it in the poppy tin.

    Can't get much more in my tin so roll on 3rd...

    I had two tins last year, but then I was adding coins with a value of less than 50p - this year I've kept those in my holding purse until I could change them for 50p or £1.

    I need to get a new tin organised for next week as I intend to carry on.

    Highlights this year

    £50 lottery winnings
    £30 for changing gas supplier
    £85 refund of installation charges for new dishwasher
    £50 compensation for delay to installation of dishwasher
    £150 incentive for new bank account (should have been added last year, but I realised later that it hadn't been allocated anywhere else)
