    Hi Hope everyone had a good Christmas
    I was given some cash as a Christmas pressie & have decided to pot the change left over from spending in the sales. £18 potted quickly before I could think of something else to spend it on :shocked:

  • Hi,
    I've read through the thread and would like to join. I have a money pot sorted and ready to use. I'm saving as much as i can for christmas next year. Every bit of change counts and certainly will add up over the year.

    Welcome to the thread jammydodgersandrhl. Our leader Sue-UU will be along shortly with a number for your signature. Please take the time to read post 1 in the meantime.
    A good life is when you assume nothing, do more, need less, smile often, dream big, laugh a lot, and realise how blessed you are.

    Evening

    Done a little bit of potting, and a little bit of eating :) I hope everyone managed to have a break.

    A little £1.80 deposit in the pot this morning. Slow and steady :)

    I wasn't out the house 25th or 26th so glad to be back out in the real world accumulating change for my pot!

    Managed to pot some money from yesterday's trip to the pub. Agreed with OH he will be paying the weekly take away next couple of weeks (he owes me same amount- so makes life easier to do this). It does mean no change for the pot. We're considering going out for a couple of drinks at New Year, drinks are more expensive on that day- we normally go on a day when they are cheaper. I usually budget for 2 drinks each £6.85 x 2 (Will get £15 out of cash machine (assuming still has £5 notes)- hopefully £1.30 for pot) - he buys same for me and any extras he wants.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

  • hello you lovely potters,

    Quick post and run, as have a date playing cards with my dad and children in 5mins! More welcome to anyone joining us.

    Finally some potting news for me with a £2.50 withdraw from Quidco which will go into my sealed pot account. The surveys have really slowed up but now at £29.90 on 1poll! Only need 10p to get my sweaty little mits on it!

    Will catch up properly once I get done time!

    Welcome, welcome! Our esteemed leader, Sue-UU, will be along shortly to give you your own sparkly number. In the meantime, have a read of the first post which is great to get you started. Grab a cuppa and continue your fabulous potting!


    I'm delighted to say that I've had another £8.54 payable from TopCashback - so that has been swiftly potted! Also £1.20 added to my pot, which was change from a day out yesterday. :j :j
