Cleaned out my very messy car boot and found 32p in 2p's from out trip to the seaside last year, so potted those

Hi all
I hope everyone is as well as can be,  some good potting going on,  and some sad news too.  this past year has been a roller coaster of emotions, and 2021 looks like it may be the same.
Potted a few £s.  
Be happy

Some travel savings potted and a few pounds extra from Clubcard savings.  Also very excited to find a penny roadkill on my exercise walk today. What a beautiful day it has been. Frosty and foggy to begin with, and then the sun broke through. When there’s not much to do the joys of nature are almost more noticeable. Also saw my first fox in a while running up my deserted  the other day. Looking at me as if to say “What are you doing here?”
Poor wife not seen her family for a long time so we have to make do with family Zoom which is fun and chaotic. When we can eventually meet in person again it’s going to be emotional!
Have a good weekend all. Stay safe and stay well.

Good Afternoon Potters! 😊 I hope everyone had as good a week as possible and you're ALL keeping well and taking great care in every way possible. Keep warm, and very healthy all!! 

To all of you who are either ill or low in anyway, take great care and I sincerely hope you're all very well soon and back with us.

You're so right, Rdpncp, that's another 44p closer to a good Total in October. 

I've o idea what a Monzo app is, Debtfreefor2022, but in this Covid time 😡 it'll be fine, I assure you. It doesn't matter what your pot is like, so long as it'll hold cash it certainly doesn't need to be posh, so save your cash and use whatever you have. All the best with your savings. 🤩

Ooooh very well done, Doily94!! Anymore little nooks and crannies you can search?! 🤔🤩

Hi 32b3! Oh what a shocking year it's been, for all those lost to it and all the loved ones mourning. I sincerely hope it soon ceases, though numbers are said to be going down from yesterday, but who knows what's around the corner next!! Fingers crossed 🤞 after we've had the vaccines, I just hope as many as possible will have them as "it's not over for for anyone until it's over for us all"! 

A quote from a brilliant Dr I follow on YT.

Take great care, and you be happy too ❤️

Hello there Ant!! Oh your poor Wife! That's one heck of a time that she and her family haven't seen each other for, I wouldn't mind being a fly on the wall when you're all virtually together! Have a really super time all of you!

That's clearly some great savings you've achieved, even the 1p counts - excellent! 🤩

We're very lucky living in the countryside with the amount of wildlife we see, but it must have been magical to see the Fox, bless it. The beauty of far more quieter streets!

Look after yourself Ant, the family too.

Have a BRILLIANT WEEKEND, folks ,and PLEASE......DO TAKE GREAT CARE!!  

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

Morning,  I’ve probably got about £4ish to pot, leftovers from food shopping.  The remaining notes from shopping will be carried over to February food budget.  Trying to balance available cash between a few different pots.  My topcashback payment for my car insurance has been confirmed so in a couple of months that will find its way into my pot.  I’m also expecting a MSE energy club payment for changing suppliers also in a couple of months so that will boost my Christmas 2021 pot contents.  I pre ordered some herb plants last week for delivery in May as last year I drew a complete blank on getting some more unusual varieties.  Hoping the seed supplier I’ve found reopens their site this coming week; they had to shut it last Monday due to overwhelming demand!  Hope everyone is keeping well 😁

Afternoon Potters, sending hugs to all those in need Lots of people seem to be struggling with lockdown this time and I'm no exception.  Every day when I walk I notice the snowdrops, crocuses and daffodil heads that are popping up and remind myself that spring is just around the corner.  January always seems endless in normal times, but this year!  Let's hope for better times to come 
Adding another £13.83 to the pot today.  Stay safe and warm folks. xx

Wow, lots of good goings on in the Hetty house right now then, including cash potted! Very well done for keeping all in order and keeping a look out for the bargains! 🥰

Hi Siju, that's an excellent amount gone in your pot 🤗

The Daffies have been out since just after Christmas at the top of our village, they always do, depends on the species I suppose. We've got Snowdrops in our garden, I love to see them, first signs of spring to my mind, though this year...?!! 😔  I struggle now and again with Lockdown, then I remind myself that, aside from a walk once a day with DH, I'm shielding anyway and that's for my own good, so I soon shrug off the blues. 

Our Crocus have shown shoots coming up for at least 2 weeks, likewise with a few Jonquil Daffies too! I love Daffs though all spring flowers really have a way of lifting our hearts, even more so this year!

Hopefully, once we can all get injected things might seem a little brighter then. Fingers crossed 🤞 at least.

Well look after yourselves ladies and take very great care xx

A lovely, though very cold day yesterday yesterday Monday.

Where is everyone! I expected at least a few, but ...two!! 👀 No doubt they'll soon stream after I've finished this... On the other hand 🙄

Have a peaceful evening, folks, a lovely WEDNESDAY too, and PLEASE......DO TAKE GREAT CARE!!

Hey all. Hope youre all good. Just popping in to update that i think im about 40ish quid so far in Jan

MrsShazbat

Hi all. Already don’t know where the time is going and can’t believe it’ll be February next week. My nephew is 16 on Monday! 
I’ve got two £2 coins in my purse and Plum has saved me £81.95 so far. 

In other news, sad news here as well as both our immediate neighbours have lost their mums this month and only a week apart.  One neighbour is the cousin of one of my oldest friends and I just had to give a hug over the garden fence, she looked so lost. The other neighbour had to fly back to Poland to say her goodbyes.  Hard to believe it’s also 10 years next month since I lost my dad, so I could relate to how terrible Christmas would have been for them

Sending love and hugs to everyone who needs them xx

Yes @MrsShazbat it’s very much the case now that a lot of us know someone who has died from the virus. Very tough times, but each day is getting a little lighter.
Saved a few quid on the shopping so potted that electronically. Will pot some more travel savings at the end of the week.
Stay safe everyone, be as kind as you can be and try to appreciate the precious gift of life. It’s not a good life right now but things will get better.
