Hi potters!

I found my other piggy bank whilst gutying out the bedroom with quite a few in after we were sorting what to pot in the wedding fund.Debt to fiancee - £404.00 (left to pay) | Save £12,000 in 2018 - £371.90 all together|2,018 items in 2018 (8/2,018)0 -

Many thanks for my number
I am unsure how to edit signature on my phone but will try and figure it out. I do not have a target, anything will come in handy for next christmas.

Nothing to pot today really apart from around 15p in 1ps & 2ps at this stage anything helps.
What a night. Asda app said our shopping was cancelled due to insufficient funds ... I defiantly said take the £40.32 from my santander card (which had £56) so I go out panic buying for lunch stuff and tea to then receive a text from Adam (my fiance) to say they delivered our shopping. Apparently it was a system bug. 👏👍🙃
Now I'm -0.98 in my account because I had £10.54 for our recent local food shop, £4.00 for busfare coming out and now £12.09 for emergency lunch food ... Adam gave me £10 to cover tonight's shop but srill. I wpuld jave been fine if asda delivered or didnt deliver and just let me buy lunch stuff to cover us until Tuesday/ Wednesday when I get paid
I don't mean to rant just put me out a little... had to borrow money which I just hateDebt to fiancee - £404.00 (left to pay) | Save £12,000 in 2018 - £371.90 all together|2,018 items in 2018 (8/2,018)0 -

Good morning fellow potters,
Just popped by to say i'm here and potting well. This year instead of using my faithfull and very old sweet jar I have got myself a very big sealed tin which I am just saving £2 coins in, already it feels heavier and there is not a empty clunking sound when I drop the coins in, i will use old faithful to save all the shrapnel in and every so often I'll empty it and change it into £2 coins.
Have a brilliant week folks

I've reset my coin counting jar so it now shows the right amount of pound coins. It seems to struggle recognising coins sometimes so doesn't calculate the correct amount. I only use it for pound coins.**Debt Free as of 15:55 on Friday 23rd March 2012**And I am staying that way
