    Just popping in to say hello before the festivites begin.

    So pleased to have finished work today - ever since my op I just feel like I've been wading through treacle to get here and I've also booked 2nd/3rd January off so I get the best part of 2 weeks off. For the first time ever, there was a corporate decision to close no later than 1pm today. Our manager allowed us to finish at 4pm yesterday (instead of someone having to stay in the office till the usual 5.15) and she also gave us a discretionary bonus hour off (essentially because she wanted to finish early :rotfl:) so some finished early yesterday and the rest of us finished at 12pm today while she stayed till 1pm.

    Have emptied my purse and chucked it in the relevant pots, and am hoping to have a better year and get my finances back in order in 2020!

    Merry Christmas and a happy and healthy New Year to you all x

    Sorry for the absence,SueUU.December has been a crazy month,and I haven't been online alot.
    But I have been keeping notes on my phone about any potting I have been doing in December:
    -4th,a £1 coin I found lying around the front room
    -5th,£2 coin
    -11th,£13,including ten £1coins
    -23rd,£19.61,including nine £2 coins
    At the end of the same day,I potted a £20 note I was paid by a customer for Christmas.
    Just now,after being sick of the weight of loose change in my purse,I emptied it of £14.51 :eek:(including eleven 50p pieces,and six £1 coins :eek:)
    That was alot in a short amount of time :eek::eek:
    Not planning to spend much for the rest of the holidays,so there might not be much more for a while.

    Finally liberated another 3 £2 coins so have added £6 to my sealed pot. This year I am trying not to keep a note of how much I put in so its a surprise when I open it next October.

    Hi

    I was #86 last year, can I keep the same number and join in for 2020?

    Sorry I didn’t declare my savings, sadly my life got messy and I just had to focus on family stuff ☹️

    Hoping to pot lots in 2020.
