    Hi all

    I’m still around and still potting, just forgetting to post updates :o

    Have managed to pot £10 today got a lift home from work so no need to top up my Oyster card and my £5 from PA surveys went into my account. Thought I would make good use of it :T

    Had snow yesterday too albeit only a small flurry but snow is snow :D

    A brilliant find Florence!! :D

    It’s good to see you back and know you’ve still been potting well, motivated! That £10 saved from having a lift home is a great way to save!!!! :dance:

    Brilliant work 116million! You sound determined to get the most possible, good for you!!! :j

    £20 saved in the pot after it was left unspent in my purse after a Christmas shopping trip with my DD, DGD and my DGGS on Thursday! We had a wonderful day with some great laughs and lovely cuddles with my DGGS too!!!! ��

  • Another £4.20 in the pot after meeting my friend for drinks. Would have been another £4 but the £2 coins don’t fit in the pot!!
  • Hello! I would love to join this challenge please! I'm hoping to use the envelope method of budgeting in the New Year, so I'll have more change that will get frittered away if I don't put it someplace safe.

    I've read through the first post and got gifted a terramundi-style pot for passing my driving test last month (it looks like a terramundi but it has a hole in the bottom) which had £1 in from my mum. I've added another £10.95 of tips from work so it's off to a healthy-ish start!

    jakes-mum I have a lot of craft stuff too! Although due to building work, mine is buried somewhere in boxes at the moment so I'm living in blissful ignorance of how much I don't need :o

    Welcome Tanzaraza! Ooo your all ready to go! pop that change in as often as you can :D Sue will appear at some point to give you your very own one of a kind, not to be sold, swapped or bartered, SPC number! Pop it on your sig for all to see and don't forget to pop back regularly and let us know how your doing :)

    Ahh craft stuff, its a very important thing! i'd *like* to say I only have fabric . . but . . well . . I like to try new things :o, I have beads, wire, yarn, fabric, baubles, glitter (for glittering the baubles :rotfl: ) Die cutter with dies and card, and 3 :o sewing machine type machines which are all very important and just cant be got rid of! :rotfl:

    I took DD to the shop on friday, I didn't actually MEAN to take her but I had to drop off a parcel and she sidelined me with puppy dog eyes for sweeties! :eek: paid with a £10 note and the poor lad was very apologetic that he had no £5ers, I was very understanding about all the change he had to give me :D including a £2 coin :D soooo 7 x £1 coins and 1 x £2 coin in the tins :D
