  • #55 returning for another year! :)



    Hoping we can save even more this year. Saving had to stop in August for us as hubby's contract ended. He will be back into work later this month so I'm pumped to put more in the pot again.

    Hi Sue
    No 31 returning after running away from the boards for a few months.
    I stopped putting anything in my sealed jar but never opened it so I will be using that for the capture of lose pennies!! Hope that's OK

    PS I may have a look to see whats in there but I know it wont be much.

    Welcome back nannyg, all saving is money not spent, so you go ahead and have a look what’s in the pot :j. Happy potting.

    Hi all, back again for another year, some fantastic results sealed pot 12. DH will be 70 next year so a surprise holiday might be on the cards. I'm going to get my pot tomorrow, we were on holiday on opening day so all thoughts of a new pot were the farthest thing on my mind!! Good luck with your savings all

    A lovely holiday for your DH for next year, what a perfect thing to save for. Any thoughts on where you might go?

    All saving is saving Dreamworlded, and every penny is worth it. Good luck for an excellent potting year. Come back often to tell us how well you are doing .

    Sue isn’t too well today, but she will be back to check up on us as soon as she is able.

    Have a great potting week.

    Hi everyone
    Well I opened my pot which was quite heavy and it revealed just over £6!!!! so not much really. I was only saving coppers and 5ps so that is why it was heavy, a change of tactics will have to happen this year if I want to more than double it lol!!!!!
    Anyway been decluttering today and found a couple of 20ps so they have gone in and tomorrow I have to do some shopping so I will put something in then as well.
    Hope Sue is feeling a bit better soon

    I potted a £5 note and some spare coins this morning. I ended up going to hospital on the weekend as I’ve had a chest infection which hasn’t reacted well with my asthma. I now have lots of tablets and a new steroid inhaler so will probably be spending the next couple of days resting so won’t be potting much.
