    Nice surprise today checked some lotto tickets that were hanging around from just after Christmas. Three tickets, one had a £13 win on it and two had £25 each on them. I was very surprised they were all winners, I've potted £64 as I wanted to put £2 coins in instead of £1s
    Glad I tidied the bedroom now!

    I have been so busy decluttering the last few month.Soooo pleased with the way the house is looking.Everyone knows if they don't put stuff away,or if it looks too untidy/unloved,it will be binned ;).

    When I was putting away a few things in a box,I found a bag of coins.At first I thought it must be foreign currency,but when I looked closer,I found it wasn't.Counted it up,and it was £23.86 just lying around for who-knows how many years :eek:. I have potted £20.86 of it for this challenge,and £3 for the Save a Pound a Day for Christmas challenge (which I think I can add to this challenge when I open it?)

    I hadn't got around to mention,the other day I also potted £15 from selling never-used slow cooker on Facebook.I started listing stuff to sell last week,and this has been my only sale.I've had lots of time-wasters,though.........

    Rubbish few days for potting ... all my change seemed to get swallowed up, even the bits I'd earmarked for the pot. Put about a £1 in today is all ...

    Morning Everyone... :)

    I'm sorry I've been absent....things have been VERY up and down in my life lately...One minute I'm happy and on top of the world and the next minute I can barely get out of bed....But I'm working on it...I have a wonderful Therapist and some very good friends....so I'll get there...

    Anyway...still potting away...Mostly Silver at the moment but as long as it's still potting then I'm happy.... :D

    *Hugs* to anyone that needs them....I'll try to stay in touch more often if I can do xXx :)

    I've got some change to pot tonight when I get home, I've been a bit slapdash with my potting recently but still throwing some in the pot.

    Have a lovely weekend everyone - March next week, where does the time go?

    Yay ... did the cashing up for the village hall bingo last night, so was able to swap my only £5 note (all that was in my wallet) for 10 lovely 50p pieces for my pot. I feel that karma has been restored.


    Ommmmmmmm
