Lucy, it sounds like a scam email. We had one a while ago and just deleted it.  It was a phishing exercise to get our bank details for the 'Payment'.
Stay safe everyone x

Suddenly there are just 2 weeks to go. Potted some more travel savings this week. I’m going to be very happy with whatever amount I end up with. This challenge is excellent for saving reasonably painlessly - the reduced costs associated with lockdown has been one small blessing during a terrible time.  One small thing that gave me a little smile this week. Saw my friend Sally who I’ve not seen for ages while I was driving along the High Street. Gave her a little toot and a wave and she looked back at me very blankly and confused. Another lady who I don’t know from Adam gave me an enthusiastic wave and a smile.
jakes mum - that’s really exciting that someone is interested in your written word.
Keep potting as best you can and stay safe as best you can everyone

Hi siju and great news of both types of savings! Fingers crossed that this way of saving will be good for us all throughout the next year.

Quick thinking little_sweetie!! 👏👏 I didn't even cross my mind. It certainly makes sense with what you too have experienced. We've had no end of ridiculous phone calls, many seemingly from Ama!on! Another said there was a warrant out for T's arrest if he didn't pay a bill which was nowt to do with us. 😂 They must be desparate to think folk would fall for such ploys! Take care of yourselves xx

I'm really pleased you're so looking forward to whatever's in your pot, Ant, however much it is at least it's money saved and not spent! It's surprising how brutal this virus has been to so many, yet was a real bonus to you, many others for the same reason too I don't doubt. 

The sighting of your friend and the result gave me a wry grin too. I wonder if Jenny recalls it when you explain it some day. ☺️

Good grief Sue, threatening arrest now! Thats a new ploy I must say.  Its a good job you know T very well!! It would worry some people to death thinking it was genuine.
Not long to go now until the big reckoning 🤫 I won't have to break open a pot as my savings are all online ones from sales but I am resisting adding it up until the allocated day 👍
Have a great weekend everyone and stay safe x

Evening
I hope everyone is well.
I counted up my pot today as I am off work this coming week so will be able to go to the bank to pay the money in.  I will wait until the 29th to update though.

A total of 12p in the pot today - it was just lying on the desk. I'm looking forward to opening the pot now, but I'm being good and not opening it early. I'm hoping I will have enough in the pot to be able to put a bit towards my debt as I'm hoping to be debt free (apart from mortgage by xmas).

Hi all.

Well i don't think my pot is going to break 20 quid on opening day but that's covid for you. I also will be potting till end of November and will try and catch up a bit. As i hadn't been using cash i hadn't been on the thread for months but i see now that you've changed the rules a bit.

See you on the 29th with my tiny contribution 😂

Morning potterssssssssssssssss
Ooooo 32b3 you tease! but well done on whatever you saved! DH has already mentioned 'opening the pots' he got a sharp hand slap for his troubles it is not time yet old man!
Living in the black - don't worry if its £20 or £2000, you saved it, and any savings that were managed this god awful year is something to be proud of.
Good luck with your debt free journey Chocolatelover, please let us know when you make that final payment! we love a 'I'm debt free' announcement!
Haha, thank you Antomac, its still a bit weird that these people want to read something that came out of my head, now its been signed it tells me how many people spent coins buying chapters, it's very surreal, I don't think i'm a J K Rowling yet though

DH and DS went down the pub on friday and came back with 7! x £2 coins for my tin! so I forgave them for dragging me out in the cold at 10pm to come pick their backsides up  so £14 in £2 coins potted and various change that I have long since stopped taking any notice of
