    Drum roll please.....

    My girls' egg-laying endeavours have given me a not too shabby £416 profit this year, so coupled with the odd bit of roadkill and pilfered wallet change, I am pleased to declare:

    #501 £423.03

    Ta-da! So much better than last year :)I

    Thanks for running the thread Sue xxx

    Brilliant potting yet again, Lost!!!! I could sense your Total was building up well when you returned each month telling us all you’ve potted. Many congratulations on the result of a terrific year’s potting!!!! :dance::T:dance:You’re most welcome but thank you. :kisses3:



    Yes DebtFreeDuo, we have a naughty step - but no sweets biscuits or anything else will be allowed there for the duration of your stay. However, as it’s your first misdemeanour I’ll let you off, but be careful as I have a big beady eye on you! :cool: ;)

    £1164.13

    This year's total is a combination of my sealed pot and virtual sealed pot. My sealed pot was opened to take out old notes and coins, and then when I needed cash a couple of times, it was too easy. It did all get replaced into my virtual sealed pot.

    However, next year I want to put everything into a sealed pot and keep it sealed. Makes it more exciting that way.

    My total is higher than last year, so I am very pleased with that and it will be going as usual to fill my Christmas and Birthday accounts for 2008

    Thanks Sue-UU for your encouragement and support throughout the year

    What an incredible sum you saved, Frogletina!!! I’m not at all surprised you’re so pleased with it as it’s amazing!!! Very many congratulations on being so successful!!!! :j:T:j I have to admit that I agree, the excitement would be far greater if all your savings were done in your pot/s so you go ahead and enjoy the thrill of it all! :D Thanks very much for your kind words. All the very best for you and all the family as it’s certainly been a very difficult one for you all.

    A big way Sue, more than any of you would realise!
    The worst thing about debt is the long road to paying it all off, whilst still trying to maintain a bit of positivity along the way.
    The kind, encouraging words I have received on this challenge, from many potters, have kept me going.
    No one has EVER judged me and I thank you all from the bottom of my heart.
