    My itinerary for this year just got longer (and a bit more expensive): just booked tickets to see my first crush Martin Kemp on his 'An Audience with' tour when it comes to Sheffield in July, for me, my sister and my bestie - 30 years since the first of our 5 Spandau Ballet gigs together (and the 1 freebie/ticket ballot one me and bestie went to). What they don't know is I've booked us VIP tickets which get us front row seats, bubbly and a meet and greet with a photo :happyhear

    Been doing some potting, potted about £3, the trouble is I am trying to go for as many NSDs as I can so the money hasn't been there to pot.

    Just realised I had over budgeted my travel expenses for my football sessions as I am missing one due to working late so have potted an additional £3.90.

    I haven't potted anything today, but am starting to dig out things that I need to list on Gumtree. I plan to spend a few hours over the weekend putting things up for sale, and will add any sale money to my pot. Fingers crossed that anyone actually wants any of it!

    Thank you so much to everyone for your very kind words. I've been referred for CBT and DH is being incredibly lovely and supportive, along with a lovely couple of friends. Just getting through at the moment...

    I did CBT counselling sessions online and it helped. :) Hope it helps you too, take it easy, it will come together again. x

    I'm here,I'm here,I'm here!!

    I have only read the last couple of pages of the thread,sorry.Hugs for all that need them hugs.gif.

    Life has been so busy,and we were soooo skint in January.I had been sure the poor old purse would get a bit of a rest after Christmas,but I was wrong.A very lean month indeed :eek:-not only because it was post-Christmas,but because I am self-employed,working school hours only,so no money coming in until the end of the first week in January either.

    Anyway,last week I potted:
    a £5 note I found while decluttering the kitchen
    £3.28 found in a plastic bag,also while decluttering kitchen
    £8 worth of £2 coins

    Total of £16.28.

    I am feeling a bit richer this month,so should be able to start potting more often again.

    Evening all

    Can I just check that shopping vouchers e.g. Tesco and Morrisons can go in the pot? If so I have put £11.50 in this week.
    I don't actually count how much I put in on a daily basis, usually any loose change below 50p.
