    My partner is on board to fill our pot. I have potted the small change from my purse and the jar is making a lovely sound when shaken. My partner has put quite a bit of change in unbeknown to me. :) No counting has taken place, it really will be a surprise lol :)

    A very Good Evening to Potters everywhere! :j I hope you've enjoyed your Tuesday, if not that Wednesday will be kinder to you. Have a lovely evening whatever.
    To all our members who are either poorly or low in spirits, here's wishes for you to get well soon. For now, love and {{{Hugs}}} from us all. :grinheart


    Why not use "user error" as being the reason, 32b3, it pretty much covers all other c... ups in this techie age! :rotfl: A nice little sum you're feeding your pot!! ;)

    Lovely to see you, klbooth, both here and certainly on SPC 11!!! :hello:It's good to see you've made a note of the 2019 declaration date. Don't forget though, we're here all year round!


    Oh I'm keeping everyone in order alright, ETO, well...apart from you it would seem!! :idea:Thanks for the kind words, I hope it'll soon be better but it's hard to tell when, but for now it's horrible! :mad:



    Thanks a lot for swapping your No on your siggy. I'm so pleased the kiddies are well and bring you such joy, bless em. Let's hope you can gradually sort your money out, though it's never easy when we've kiddies to clothe and feed. Don't forget to visit us regularly to see what you can do to motivate yourself. :D


    It's definitely colder, James, BUT there's warmer weather coming up for a few days, :j then - back to the convector heater!! :(

    Good luck with the cash, not easy at this time of year, but time will sort it all out. Lovely to see you back again James, all 'oldies' too!

    I have another pot with all the other coins in which I am not going to count until it is emptied, it is one of those HUGE cola bottles so will probably take me about a hundred years to fill the darn thing :p

    Dxxx


    An excellent sum to feed to your pot, Deleted_User!! Fingers crossed for the coke bottle being ready by the....31st October '19!!! :rotfl:Well, you never know! ;)



    Even a quick drop is fine, browneyed_girl, even more so when you've fed the pot!! Best of luck with the surveys. :D



    You're sounding very excited already, LLM2018, it's lovely when members become addicted to saving as it gives us all more incentive. :j Good potting, shaking too!

  • Hi potters hope you're all ok. Sue - do you find your eczema gets worse at the time of year? My friend suffer worse and she thinks it's going from the hot to cold all the time.

    Finally hit the £20 target on my surveys today, so hit the withdraw button. £20.26 less fees which paid out 19.48 which cleared into my account. I've rummaged in my food shop wallet and added the extra shrapnel to round it up and dropped £20 in.

    total pot £47.75 / £240

    Good evening potters,

    Hope your all keeping well.
    After my initial cash sweep up into the pot during set up, was feeling a little frustrated as i'm not really a cash spender with most payments by card. While i carry a note i try not to break into it as once i start it all goes on choccy & crisps!
    But today i broke into the note (for a chippy tea) so immediately put the remaining loose coins into my pot leaving just a fiver note. So i start the cycle again of not wanting to break the note...

    ho hum, happy potting days :EasterBun

    Ooh that sounds exciting lucyhope, we're very [STRIKE]nosey[/STRIKE] interested on this thread. Is it a secret or can we all be trusted to know?

    Well, I took DH to one side and explained the potting rules of the house (what's mine is mine, for the pot and what's his is mine, not just for the pot). Now that we have cleared that up, I've managed to get £2.78 to pot today. A big improvement on 7p I'm pleased to say. ;)

    Good afternoon everyone :hello:

    £2.50 potted because the coffee I *was* going to pop out for was replaced by a cuppa in the staffroom. I'm feeling virtuous. Also considering stopping going to Slimming World, which will free up a good £4.95 each week.

    Sue-UU - I hope your symptoms have reduced and you're more comfortable.
