Hi

Thanks for the warm welcome. It has been a crazy couple of weeks in work but I have managed to pot some coins here and there and I've had some cracking online sales plus a survey site payout. Going to spend the weekend looking for more bits and bobs to sell.

Thank you for letting me join. I can’t put my number on my signature because I’m too new. Hopefully it will let me soon. Saved £6.45 today that I found in an old bag that I was sending to the charity shop. 

You're very welcome, bluebell_on_track, you're the second member who's said they were given a message saying they're too new to use the signature part, very petty!   I hope you're soon able to put your No on there, but meanwhile there's nothing to stop you potting and I'm so pleased you have; a very nice sum too, very well done!! 😊 Come back as often as you're able, it helps you stay motivated.

Another excellent sale, little_sweetie!! Thanks also for the well-being message, it's all a bit sore at the moment, but time will soon heel. All finished with now at least!! 🤩

Oh isn't that Members' List looking a whole lot better now! Just 2 more to go and we'll be back to normal, though I'd dearly love to see the older members back, it's sad to have folk missing after so many years.

Some excellent sales and potting, Cariad21!!! All the best for the weekend's search! 🤩

Have a lovely THURSDAY evening folks, enjoy yourselves saving, but keep very safe and healthy!  😊

NB folks: Opening date for SPC 14 is 28th October 2021.

Anyone wishing to join us, it's NEVER too late!😊 So please just ask and you will be made very welcome.

Good evening all! 

I got a pot - I used an old coffee jar and got my eldest to help make the hole in the lid - he really enjoyed it! 
I also got him to collect any random change and shove it in it. 
I'm so tempted to use cash again as I find on my card it's so easy to spend spend spend 😂😂😬. 

Hope everyone is well!

Great to see this thread active and also some new members.  Glad you are on the mend after your latest dental work Sue. 

I will pot some travel savings tomorrow. For my pot this year I have ‘borrowed’ my daughter’s money box from when she was a little girl.  Nice to see many potters already.not knowing how much they’ve potted so far. Definitely adds to the fun and the ultimate surprise.  Luckily I have some nice clean notes I withdrew some time ago so can use some of them to pot from time to time and reduce the need for actual ‘dirty’ cash.

Hello Everyone,
Just posted my amount over on the other thread, so ready to start all over again on this one (with my new number!) I am carrying over my sealed pot of coins over to this years as I was not able to count up my coins, so ready to add more in soon.

Hi mummytummy I’m intrigued by your recycling centre paying for bottles and cans ? Or did I read that wrongly?mummytummy said:

No welshspendthrift, you got it right about mummytummy and the bottle/can recycling, mind you she's in Australia which makes the difference, unless someone knows differently here in England??!

A very Good Morning Potters! I hope you all have a really great day and are looking forward to a GREAT weekend! 

 TAKE CARE & STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE!!

For all those of you who are either poorly or feeling low or miserable in any way, our very best wishes that you'll soon be feeling very much better.   

Hi Pinkwhisk, it's good to hear from you and to know your pot is ready and being used. 🤗

Aha, that's the problem with using cards, you have to be careful not to overspend! 😩 Try cash again by all means, at least it'll keep you from temptation! 😍

All the best with whatever you use.

Hi Ant, I'm getting there, early days when it's molars and the worst thing is injections in the roof of the mouth! 😲 To say the least, they're B painful!! 

Good luck with your DD's money box, putting money in there too, I quite agree about the nice surprise come October! 🥰

Hi BlytheDoll, ahhhh a very late declaration, but by golly did you do so WELL!!!!! 

Very many congratulations to you!!! NB Closing date for SPC 14 is the 28th October 2021. Well done with your potting so far this year! 🤩

Hi mummytummy, brilliant work in exchanging the bottles for cash! You got quite a fair amount for them - great work!! 🥰

You stay safe as well, healthy too!

Another lovely £20 in my pot this week!!! 🥰

Have a lovely FRIDAY folks, a GREAT WEEKEND too! enjoy yourselves saving, but keep very safe and healthy!  😊

Ah Australia is better than us then in terms of recycling then! I’ll save my glass jars for some beetroot chutney to be made this weekend 😀 Thank Sue UU for letting me know. Happy weekend everyone, slow on cash front but the bank savers are gradually and slowly building 😀
