Hey NikNak...lovely to have you here with us...Sue, our esteemed Leader, will be along in a little while to give you your very own Number which you need to put in your Signature...and then get yourself a Pot and start potting!! We're VERY friendly here so do come and let us know how you get on...

crimson.addict - Thank you for the hugs...I needed them....I didn't do amazing this year...about £150 for the Year...but better than I've done in previous Years....so I can't complain....How are you doing? I hope you're really well xXx

Sue - I DO have a great Support network around me....I'm very lucky....so I DID end up getting paid on Friday but it wasn't easy to arrange and I had a lot of anxiety around having to send all the Emails and hassle people....but I've finally been paid...so I'm happy...

So I'm up to £39 in Paper and Gold in my Pots so far this Year...so I'm extremely happy with that...I have Potted around £14 and some change today....Let's hope I can continue at this pace...but I will be careful not to put in what I can't afford....Only what I CAN afford...

It's lovely to see so many new Members....Lovely to have you all here....

*Hugs* to anyone that needs them... xXx

I'm creating a personalized shadow box saving frame with our names on, the date we got engaged
and will be putting little plastic diamonds in the bottom so when we open it it's like a celebration.
I'm going to decorate the outside with diamontes and craft pearls around it. I thought it'll be nice for a keepsake and will drive us to actually think about getting married.

I'm just waiting for the fancy letter stickers to come before I insert money & start on it.
when i finished the frame, could i post the final product here in a picture?

What a lovely idea adventureofmemories.Alot of thought has gone into that.I would love to see photos :j.
Potted £15 tonight-the last of the money owed to me for a job last week.

Another one who'd like to see your finished shadow box - I love anything crafty!

One lovely plastic fiver potted today :j

Ooh it sounds lovely Adventureofmemories, what a fab idea

In an attempt to encourage more savings, I have also decided to pot my plastic fivers this year and luckily, I have two to pop in my pot today. :T

Lots of new members

Not a good week in the jakes-mum household this week, DD is very poorly with a temperature, headache, belly ache, runny nose, sore throat and no appetite at all (very unlike her, she even eats when she has a sickness bug!) Have already told the school she wont be in this week as she's still so unwell, she even fell asleep in the day today and she's like me, wont give in unless she's on her last legs Though saying all that, she's currently laying there with an empty tissue box on her foot as a shoe so her sense of fun is coming back

No pennies today as other than a very quick stop at Mr T I haven't been able to leave the house

I can't wait for the stickers any longer ,
so I placed all my change for now in an empty savings jar,
The total comes to £4.95

Potted £30 today :j.I know it sounds like I am potting lots of big money lately.At the moment I do seem to be,but my life isn't always like this.Usually it is coinage.I am just lucky that at the moment I am being paid for one 2hour job in cash,and I am able to afford to pot it at the moment.I am also waiting for a cheque to clear for the scrappage of our car,so that will be another bonus straight to the pot :j.Of course,after that I might start getting on with Christmas shopping,so there will be little leftover to pot,I guess.Making hay and all that.....

A couple of coppers I pilfered from the boyfriend's wallet potted today - I have a love/hate relationship with these NSD's: I want more money to pot!

Payday this weekend so my weekly allowance will be back in action and hopefully more potting can commence!

OMG Saver-upper! £30! Impressive!!!

In comparison, I've added a paltry 50p to my pot...
