    Morning all

    Have been rounding down accounts and will be using this as my pot this year. It’s not cash in the house so the temptation to dip in is taken away. I have set myself a 52 week challenge and have it safely in a savings account :)

    Its a good way to start thinking of potting rather then spending.

    Good luck

    Evening folks

    A very warm welcome to all the new peoples and returners :hello: Hope you all enjoy the challenge and don't forget to pop back as often as you can to keep us all updated. It does help with keeping up the potting challenge as well, so set yourself the occasional reminder :D

    Hope everyone had a super, duper Chrissy period and are managing to stay safe, warm and dry with all this horrible wet and white stuff about :eek:

    I have managed to pot £20 as my last offering of 2017 and am starting to look forward to the new year now :j

    Hope you all have a lovely weekend

    Good morning everyone.
    91p potted from me this morning. Will be small amounts now until well into the new month because I am sticking to a budget.

    Good morning everyone and a warm welcome to all our new members. :hello: As others have mentioned, please read Sue's first post - I've just reminded myself of what's what! :A Our pot opening/declaration day is 1st November 2018 - a date which is marked on my calendar.

    DH was forced into potting £1.10. At least I did it legitimately this time... ;) And I potted 8p. I know. Crazy days.

    Have been a little MIA but I have been potting where I can. Haven't been able to pot much over the last couple of weeks but hoping this will change over the next few weeks. I have set up a section on my spreadsheet for potting money each week (week 1 = £1, week 2 = £2 etc) so this will give my pot a boost, I will mix it up a bit though so weeks where I have more to spare I might cross off one of the higher amounts.
    Change the way you see things and the things you see will change
