  • Hi Sue and potters :)


    Such wonderful news about Amy, Sue, I hope all goes well this time. I am so pleased for you all...it's a really exciting time, isn't it :)


    We have had a very expensive February as we had to vacate our home for the month and take the tourer to a holiday site instead. It cost an arm and a leg but we used our normal food budget for meals and cooked our own (mostly) to save money. I have consequently not been potting very much during Feb but am resolved to knuckling down this month. Just a few coppers potted after shopping on Monday but anything left on Saturday will be earmarked for the pot. Unfortunately, we have car insurances to pay for soon but I'm using comparison sites to try to keep down the cost.


    Hope everyone is well x

  • Ah what wonderful news Sue. I hope all goes well and look forward to hearing the news in September.

    On the potting front, I haven't been around for a month, but have potted around £20, not massive but if I manage that each month it will give me a nice sum towards Xmas.

    I'm struggling with money at the mo so really trying hard to only spend on necessities and to pot what I can.

    Have a lovely Friday everyone. :beer:

    Afternoooooooooon Poooooooooooottersssssss

    Congratulations Sue and family, thats lovely news :D I seem to be surrounded by virtual friends having babies! :D

    DH decided to do some of DS's papers yesterday and found a lovely £1 coin on the path :j so swapped it for 2 x 50p for the pot :D

    I am steadily potting away but the poor £2 coin tin is sounding very forlorn :( all this potting notes instead for the big holiday is seriously having a detrimental affect on my favourite tin! :( Come september im just going to have to tackle any shopkeeper I can find for them :rotfl:

    I've potted £5.05 today and very happy about that. I don't pot coppers as they are too heavy 😟.

    Last year my money was used as holiday spending money but this year it is only for my Christmas extras. Happily plodding along xx
