Well done everyone on some super potting during the first week! :T. I am so motivated by every post I read - that, plus the lovely sound my jar has started to make with the week’s contributions!
DH potted his tips from his last two shifts today. Wouldn’t let me count the exact amount again (spoilsport) but tells me it’s “in the region of £20”. The pot is very appreciative of his hard work! :j
I’ve managed a few more surveys and have a product testing diary to complete for the grand sum of £15. I wonder where that will end up...:think:
Enjoy the rest of the weekend folks! :beer:Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

Have potted a note and gold coin today, leftovers from my social budget for the week.

I have a small mount of coins on the table, but as yet haven't got a pot to put them in.
I am really having trouble finding one, I have no coffee/jam jars spare and cannot get out to buy one. :mad::mad:.
May be a few weeks yet before I can get out so wish me luck that I can keep the money separate.:oQuot Libros, Quam Breve Tempus

Hi everyone.
I'd like it t return if I can, having been awol for most of this years SPC.
Only pennies saved during SPC 11 so hoping too save more, pop in more and chat more to keep me going.
Hey Sue, will leave my target as £200 please, you never know... I'm hoping to deal more in cash so 1) I can see where my money's going 2) have more change to pot.
Thank you.SPC 18 Target £200 /0 -
Happy Monday everyone
I can't believe we are already 11 days into November! Finally managed to do some potting yesterday £31 has gone into my pot - mainly £5 notes. Practically every time I handed over cash I got a note in my change! This level of potting is going to grind to a halt this week as I'm on a no spend promise. But I love that I've made a decent start.
Caught up with the thread this morning - what. Great way to start the week.
Have a fab week!

Good morning everyone. Great potting by everyone this week. I'm envious of the notes going in for people, don't think I'll be doing that any time soon myself :-) but still trying to throw in a healthy amount of pennies where I can. I've got the step kids involved, I've told them any money they find on/near/in the sofa has to go in the pot - money is always falling out of my husbands pockets. Not roadkill as its our money, it still feels like I've found a bit of treasure though amongst the Cheerios and detritus left there by my little ones :-)0

Good morning everyone :wave:
Thank you Sue-UU for my new star! :A
I tried to post yesterday, but the cat chose that moment to jump onto my lap! She demanded fuss!
Anyway, I potted £2.50 yesterday. A friend and I were going to meet up for a coffee in town, but then she invited me round to her house and so the money I would have spent was potted! :A

Everyone off to a great and we're still only in the early days.
Bumpy ride for me do far and our budget is very tight! Nothing else added into the pot, so it still stands at £27.75. I'm still surveying like mad and I have £17.21 available for withdraw and £4.63 pending. I'm determined all this will be destined for the pot.
