    Evening lovely potters

    I have potted my weekly £10 today. Will have a count up and bank next week before we go away.

    Really looking forward to some warm sunshine now - always seems it's been cold for ages when we get into March.

    Hope you all have a fantastic weekend

    Great potting MLE007, though taken from DH's wallet??! Disgraceful, but darned good work!!! JUST 50p on Wednesday?! :eek: Along with the £5er you're doing exceptionally so be mighty chuffed with it!! :j

    My Birthday was on Sunday (5th) 32b3, same as Cas's but we had a sickness bug here so didn't enjoy it to the full but we have plans for the weekend instead. I sincerely hope Cas is alright. Thanks very much for the wishes, just as lovely when they're belated I assure you. Brilliant work with your potting! :dance:

    Ah but the day I posted it on was late Tuesday, Westie, so the wishes were for Wednesday; forward planning see! :T

    WOW - another plastic £5er eh, 3forholidays! I wonder just how many you'll have saved come November?! :D Heck of a lot I bet a bob!!

    Hello there little_sweetie! It's really lovely to see you. :D Oh it's such an exiting time for sure. I really missed babies when our DD stopped churning them out but now it's starting all over again and I couldn't be happier!!!!! :j How old is your little treasure, well over a year I know? D'you reckon you'll ever get to go over? I truly hope so.
    D'you mean you've had problems in the house which caused you to have to decamp with the tourer? I hope not, but it sounded like it. :( Good luck with the comparison site searching!

    Nice work Chutney!

    Day 68 eh HoneyBee83?! :shocked: Crikey you really are keen, I wouldn't have had a clue; I know the first and the last but couldn't cope with what comes in between!! :rotfl:Good to hear you're keeping up the great work, you'll never be sorry!!!

    Wonderful news indeed, ETO, thank you. :D I'll definitely be letting you all know as soon as it arrives; it's due on the 16th but we all know what first babies are like so no doubt it'll be late.
    You did marvellously with that £20 so I hope you're really chuffed with yourself!! :T Try to budget well and downgrade on brands i.e. buy cheaper named versions of goods which are just as good! You can do it ETO! :j

    Pounds are gold
    Dollars are green
    I've just potted £8.51
    Which hasn't left a bean ...

    :(
    Still, it's only money


    Ah you're not the only one who's a poet, Money Rollercoaster...

    Notes are green (mostly), cash is brown (mostly
    Pot all you can and you won't wear a frown!
    OR
    Roses are red, violets are blue.

    You potted a lot which is GREAT for you!! :j

    Well maybe not a poet but....!

    Ahh! So there you are at last, jakes-mum, and not before time!! :naughty:I know you're busy but please don't leave it so long in future - it does me no good at all!! :( Thanks a lot for the wishes, we are all sooooo happy!! :D

    You slipped up when your DH found that £1, why not have asked him to double it so you could change it for the £2s you're in need of?! :rotfl:

    Very good saving Plumduff! That's the way to get Christmas covered. Keep up the good work. :D

    Well done with your weekly £10er, Lynne! You're right about the cold this winter, even down in the south west it's been really cold especially Feb and March, the bitter winds making it feel quite raw. Still, you'll soon be enjoying the sun on holiday! :dance:

    Nice work Dragon Lily! ;)

    A lovely £20 potted after shopping again and as usual that's it for the week but quite chuffed with it.

    Don't worry about how much or how little you save, folks, whatever it is at least potting it will stop you spending it! Think Christmas or holidays and pot all you're able to!! :dance:


    Have a brilliant weekend, Potters. Don't forget to pot!!! :D

    £8 potted this week. Could have done better but could have been a lot worse.
    Belated Happy Birthday Sue. Enjoy your belated celebrations. It was my Sister's birthday on Wednesday and my Mum tomorrow so double celebrations here this weekend.
    Have a good rest of weekend everyone and keep potting what you can.

    I was starting to consider potting very 'un-spare' change because my pot was looking so sorry for itself. But! I found a dusty old £1 in a handbag I sold on eBay whilst packing it up to send today, and so that went in. My poor old olive tub dreams of better days gone by, when he was full!
