    Just finishing up our mini break, paid for by last year’s sealed pot savings. Love how relaxing it is knowing that it’s all been paid for by the time we get here we can treat ourselves guilt free

    A great way to enjoy your saved pot @AntoMac, it sounds like you had a lovely relaxing break 😀 

    We've been spending a lot of time at our DDs recently as she has decided to fit a new kitchen before Christmas. DH, before retirement, was an electrical engineer, therefore he's been roped in to sort out all the electrics and I'm on grandchildren duty 😍 They're about half way through fitting the kitchen, so hopefully it'll be ready in time 🎄🎅 

    Added my usual five pounds and a handful of change 😊 Enjoy your weekend.

    The best sort of feeling!  I hope you had a lovely time away.

    £95 potted over the last few days, which isn't too bad! Okay, so I'm VERY pleased with that.

    Good morning fellow potters, emptied my purse this morning of all coins below 50p and deposited into jar amounting to £1.60.  I’m not counting as I want that surprise in October and I’ve started a regular saver as well.

    Just wanted to pop by as I know I’ve been absent a lot over past few years due to “life” now I’m heading to retirement and can’t wait - I have approx. 18 months to go, less if you take away annual leave, bank holidays etc. 😂😂

    Have a lovely Sunday whatever you do 😊

    Thanks @siju and @VickyA_2
    Little and often really can add up over a year.
    A few more pounds added here this weekend.
    I know forthcoming retirement must be exciting @mummytummy but try not to wish it around too quickly  as it will come round before you know it, not that I’m there yet myself mind  :)

    I have roadkill to challenge @AntoMac gone to make tea tonight, picked up the cauliflower and inside the (unnecessary) plastic bag wrapping was a £1 coin 🤣. Not come from my purse as all my shopping change was accounted for!
