Hi all,
Sorry Sue but there is a queue for my DS! he really is the best Son I could possible wish for and helps me no end. :heartpuls:heartpuls
I am drawing out shopping money on Friday to last for 2 weeks, still having my bulky/heavy shopping delivered but hoping I can save money shopping for myself at last.
Wish me luck!
Good Luck to everyone for 2019.Quot Libros, Quam Breve Tempus

Happy new year potters!
Whooooo hooooo I've finally hit my £30 min withdraw from one poll so hit the button and now just waiting for it to arrive by BACS. That'll go into my sealed pot bank account when it does. I've managed to pot £1.86 cash today too which was left over from the Christmas shop. Today is a great potting day.
I've officially lost count of my total and I'm not giving in to the urge to count it!Finally Debt Free 24/4/20230 -
Happy New Year Potters
Well, I'm back at my desk after a lovely Christmas break - all the usual, too much food, drink etc so I'm quite happy to be back to normal. I'm looking forward to the new year and wondering what it will bring. Hopefully joy and peace

Hi everyone
Potted all the money I didn't spend over Christmas between the two pots, I didn't count it but there were a couple of tenners and loads of change, wish it was always like that!!!
Did the shopping today so will go through purse at the end of the week when everything has been bought, knowing Im going to pot the leftover money each week spurs me onto being extra careful with the grocery shopping!!

You've made a good beginning also, Homegrown!
Don't become a defeatest this soon, Aaleigha! All we ask is for everyone to do as well as is possible, but it's not a race and any savings has to be better than none!!How about rewarding yourself on the NSDs by putting a certain amount in your pot??!

Great work Thrift, you're doing it all perfectly!!! :T Well done you!
Hello again Kerfuffle, and good saving!
Don't worry Babs, I guessed your lad wasn't being shared out, ah well, you can't blame me for trying. I'm most certainly wishing you loads of luck!!
You're most welcome Vicky, I'm just so grateful for the help in welcoming new friends aboard. It's no good Vicky, apparently Babs doesn't do sharing!
Some folk say "dreams do come true" then again others say the opposite, so do let us know which it is for you with your dreaming of potting cash you don't have!!:rotfl: Well done with the real-life cash!!Thatfrenchbird wrote: »I need help!!!
