Our darling 2 year old Great-Grandson has hand, foot and mouth disease! Fingers crossed he doesn't pass it on to his 2 week old Brother!! :eek:

You'll have to be quicker off the mark when your partner's around, welshywoo!! Still, you've done well to pot what you did.
Excellent potting, SummerDays!!! :j Keep up the amazing work!
£15 has gone in the pot after shopping! :dance:
Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late, so please just ask, you'll be made very welcome!
Hopefully I'll come back with some change that can also be potted (once exchanged back of course!) :j
Major disaster was averted over the weekend, thank goodness. As I may have told you before, our family only arrange a Secret Santa for Christmas. I was speaking with my DS and his partner and he asked for our help because his partner had my FIL for Secret Santa. No, I say, I have FIL and I have already bought him a present! Oh dear, when I checked, I was supposed to buy for MIL not FIL!!!!! All sorted now, we have swapped as I had already bought something for FIL. Imagine DMIL on Christmas morning if she had nothing and DFIL had two presents :eek: My popularity would be in short supply, I'm sure. Lesson to be learned from this - check and double check my Secret Santa person :rotfl:
Nothing much to pot today apart from 1p, but, hey-ho, every little helps. Enjoy your week, Potters.

Well my holding jar came in handy today as I had a vets bill that was unexpected, it wasn't a lot of money but the holding jar made it easier, trouble is it means the holding jar is nearly empty now - ah well that's what its all about.

I've only put the odd pence in this week so my pot was sad. Then the window cleaner came and I got a £2 coin in change! The pot is feeling a bit more cheerful!

I potted £2.05 yesterday but most of that went into topping up my cash bags from emptying SPC 12. So very nearly there with some of those bags! I took more housekeeping out yesterday to cover the Christmas groceries etc so hoping there may be a little left for the pot! We get paid again before Christmas but I ignore it and do not allow myself to touch it until “normal” payday, although I will have to a couple of days before this as my son is going round to a friends for lunch so I’m going grab that shopping window of opportunity on my own; can’t believe I’m planning my life for post Christmas already :rotfl:

How is everyone. How are you getting on Sue?
I have been busy doing nothing this week, which has been nice. I have been potting away too, so all good.
I can't believe we have already done a month of this challenge, doesn't time fly when we are enjoying ourselves.
