No £2s to report (although I think there's a couple in my purse) but my Quidco notifications went mad this evening and I got 5 cashback confirmations in a row. So my total for the year has rocketed up to £97.65 almost £100 on last year's total!!
I've also got some money to come from eB*y and last week I got a PPI/commission cheque for £481.44 :rotfl:

Morning Pottersssssssssssssssssssss
Welcome back DreamerHelen :wave: we only did Disney as we felt doing both would be too much for us on a first visit, and with how much we did whilst over there we are absolutely positive we made the right choice! :eek: It was so totally amazing though and I am already desperate to go back again, can't stop myself checking the flight costs every so oftenWe definitely need to do Universal next time though as we've come back and Miss Lily has suddenly become obsessed with Harry Potter (takes after her mum that one does :rotfl: ) she's quite often found sat on my bed using her Captain Phasma starwars cape as a wizards robe shouting 'expelliarmus' at the TV whilst watching one of the films :rotfl: she's currently on film 3 and i'm trying to get her to read the books but am currently getting moaned at about how looooooooong they are *rolls eyes*. I have told her all about Olivanders though so she keeps mentioning our need to go (we'd better get to Olivanders first thing when we go back as she really wants him to choose her :eek: )
Ooooo Mrs Shazbat go you with your quidco! Mine just seems to sit there and sit there and sit there not confirmingI have £105 tracking and some of that is from the beggining of last year :eek:

How have I been doing potting wise . . . :think: I have no ruddy idea! I know I chucked some money in the pots but I can't remember what it was, what coins, nowt :eek: soooooo, I declare an unknown amount of money in the pot last week :rotfl: I do have over £200 in my paypal right now though from my trusty fleabay / fb sales :j :j :j still got stuff to get rid of so im being good and leaving it there until I have to take it out and pot it

Ooooohhh,not long to go nowwwwwwwwww!! :jThis year has gone so very fast.
When I received my first new (polymer) £10 note in my change the other day,I almost immediately had to spend it (on petrol.To get home.Home without pushing the car :rotfl:).
So when I received a £10 note today,I raced home to put it in my pot before anyone else thought of something I needed to spend it on :eek:.
Also to say,I pottted £1.61 one day last week when I was tidying up.
Good luck with the final push,everyone.

I *think* I potted £7.50 last night :think: there was definitely 3 x 50p, 1 x £2 coin and some £1 coins but i've forgotten how many £1 coins I had
another £18 went into the paypal last night from selling DS's boots and have an invoice pending for £8 which hopefully will get paid todayWhat else can I sell?? i'm running out of stuff :eek:
Off to Mr T today but doubt i'll get any change as I haven't got any money (cos I keep potting it all :rotfl: ) so that there trusty debit card will be paying for the shopI Do have a couple of notes I need to change up though so maybe i'll try and swing into the bank just so I can get some pottage money

Well i'm back from Mr T, and DH and I *may* have snuck in a cheeky meal out which cost the grand total of £15.70
.
Popped into town and changed up the £40 I had that was potting money into £1 coins which put a nice big chunk of change into my golden pot (which now only has 3cm of room in it :eek: golden pot WILL be filled by opening time! I refuse to not have a full golden pot to open! its just not right!)
I am now on the hunt for more things to sell on fleabay! I must have some other things that can be flogged for potting money!SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000
