Took the recycling and cashed it in today, got the equivalent of £19 so that has gone into the jar along with other bits of shrapnel.
if anyone is interested this is what we do here in Oz

Hello Potters and a very warm welcome to our new Potters
So sorry to hear about your neighbour Sue-UU. I do hope he recovers and is able to spend time with his DD, it's so upsetting for everyone involved. My SIL's aunt and uncle were also in hospital with Covid recently and are a similar age to your neighbour, luckily they have now both been discharged and are recovering at home. So fingers crossed for your neighbour.
I had such a lovely time last week with the baby, although at 12 lb now, my arms were ready for a rest when I got home! She is absolutely adorable and slept like an angel while I was there. 7 weeks old and changing all the timeI also went to a growth scan with my DD as the midwife was concerned that her baby had stopped growing. All is well though and the baby is a little under 5lb, so with 6 weeks to go, he should be a very healthy 7 to 71/2 lb if she goes to term. So exciting
We met with a few dancing friends on the weekend and had a bit of a whizz around the floor of a local village hall. It was so nice to see them after all this time and have a catch up. The best thing was though, I got £6 coins to put in my pot!!!!!
Enjoy your week everyone and stay safe xxSPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.835 -
So Mr Taxman sent me my money and £17 has gone into the pot. Only been potting a couple of pounds a week so far but I have decided to do it in a virtual pot and that way I can save more.
I hope everyone os keeping well and sending hugs to those who need them ❤Debt free as of 29.10.2020 🎉😁

Just potted £10. Having lunch out with a friend on Friday so may have a little change. School have just introduced tighter measures today so parents evening next week is back to phone call and they have already said no parents at the Christmas performances ☹️ Our work have arranged an “away day” for 17th December. Luckily our managers have said we don’t have to attend so I’m saying no. I don’t want Covid for Christmas and I don’t feel comfortable spending all day in a room with 50+ people. Even if it’s not Covid it’s likely to be a cold or something as my immune system has been out in crowded places for nearly 2 years! We are having a Christmas lunch on the 3rd in a local pub and are meeting on the 4th for a trip round the Christmas market but these have purposely been arranged so if the worst came to the worst we would be fully recovered 🤞by the Christmas holidays.SPC #023 SPC 12: £125.86[/COLOUR]:SPC 13: £214.98: SPC 14: £297.41 SPC 15: £237.27 SPC 16 £335.39; SPC 17 £662.09 SPC 18 £20MFW #21 Mortgage start Dec 2015 £79,950; June 2025 £19,394.00 2025 OP £1589/COLOR]/£2,000 MFiT T6 #3 £19070/£25,500 (72.82%%) MFiT T7 #3 £2050/£21,930 (9.34%)4
