Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 16

Hellooooooooo Potterssssssssssssssss

Well potting is very slow in the Jakesmum household We had to book a holiday, as i'm really struggling right now and as it's Miss Lily's GCSE years, it has to be in the school holidays. over £4k later my poor pot won't be seeing any spare change for a while!
Jakey also moved into a new flat, leaving behind that horrible first house he and his girlfriend rented and needed his mum to spot him the deposit as he can't get the deposit back from the old house until he moved out so he had £1100 out of me as well!
Not to mention the fact I couldn't get Miss Lily into an NHS orthodontist for 3 years! So had to send her private at an eye watering £4k, so yeah, i'm over in the corner rocking right now.
Nearly at the end of book 17 btw, feels like a lifetime ago I started my little 'writing hobby' now it pays our bills   
So basically, no pennies in the pot right now but i keep scouring the ground for some roadkill
Keep potting everyone, you are all doing fabulously!

My goodness @jakes-mum you have had an expensive time 😳 hopefully that's it for big spends now! 17 books is one heck of an achievement. Can I ask what genre of books you write?

I hope so too, i've never had such an expensive month lol!
Ahh, I write werewolf books predominantly, though I have a series of 'bad boy' books that were popular, i'm about the start the final book in that series next month! I honestly never expected something I took up as a bit of a laugh to become my job!

It still shocks me that people want to read about the weird ideas that float around in my head!

Oh my jakes-mum! 
It is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo lovely to hear from you. I think of you often - you were such a busy participant in this thread a few years ago- I have stalked to try and find out how long it has been since you were here (but I actually can't work out where to find people's previous threads  ). 
What a lovely surprise !!

Just popping on to check in, AWOL from online things for a few months as lots if illness and the stress that cones with it but still been adding whatever change I have weekly and any odd coins around the house or in the car (finders keepers here) so hoping to have a nice stash by opening day to report.

Hope all are well x
