    Evening everyone, No 36 declaring tonight as well. This year I have potted £162.98. That was increased from what it would have been as I walked home from work this evening and found £1.70 right there on the ground. Of course the £1.70 went into the pot. I haven't banked it all, just £161 so I have a bit of a start for the 2017 challenge. It's not quite the £500 I had targeted but it's better than nothing. Well done to everyone who has already declared and good luck if you are opening your pot tomorrow!

    I AM SO EXCITED!

    I feel like the sealed pot universe is smiling at me today as in the change section of a self service till I was using at Sainsbury's there was 12p waiting for me and my pot.

    On annual leave tomorrow. Have to go to the doctors but then it is a potting time.

    Looking forward to tomorrow.
    I must say a great thanks to Sue for all the encouragement. We all appreciate the encouragement and last year's figure of £50k plus is something YOU should be massively proud of Sue - Talk about encouraging good habits. :T
    Without this challenge me and Mrs oMac would not be going to Cornwall at the weekend as we wouldn't have put the money aside. What a great idea this challenge is. Nice to see some new entries for the next challenge as well. :)

  • It's opening day!! :)
    This year I managed to pot $1812.95 some of that went when my old housemate moved out suddenly but still *happy dance*
    On another positive I also managed to pay off an extra $2771.86 of my credit card this year, that's above my set payments so it's coming down :)

    Morning potters
    Was going to do this after work but I've been so looking foraward to it I got up early and counted.

    #100 here declaring a wonderful £887.52

    :T:T:eek::T:T:eek::j:j

    Beyond happy.
    When I first started I had the figure of £750 in mind as a goal to give dd3 and her lovely fella as a wedding present. It looks like I've got a bit left over for myself

    Well done to everyone and looking forward to seeing everyone's totals later.
