    Love a bit of Welsh language @siju
    I got Mum some Welsh ornamental dolls a few years ago. She loves them. Only found out recently that Nadolleg Llowen means Merry Christmas. That’s written on one of them but she has them out all year round  :p

    Happy New Year to everyone!

    A great start to the year for me as my cashback credit card gave me £23 and a little bit for potting. Cheers to you all!

    Hi, could I join in your challenge please. I've not got a proper pot at the moment so making do with a jam jar for now until I can visit the charity shops for something a little less see through. I am decluttering at the moment and sold something today that the buyer collected and paid cash for. Also emptied some change from my purse so starting with £40.49 in my pot.

    Welcome along @Tattypud
    I’m sure a jam jar makes a perfect pot, and is very MSE of course.
    The save the change function on my account is very useful for adding to my sealed pot electronically. Another £4.64 added today

    Tattypud An excellent amount potted in your Dusty Bin, a great start! That name takes me back a while.

    Many thanks Ant and Siju for your lovely welcomes to Tattypud, I shan't forget that name for sure! 🙄

    Ah I see what you mean about the name babyface Dizzycap.
    Very well done with what you've potted!

    Good for you with all you've potted MrsShazbat!
    I dearly hope your hubby's niece soon fully recovers, a nephew of my hubby's has cancer of the oesophagus and his niece has bowel cancer. They're both receiving treatment, but so very sad when they're in their middle aged.

    Very good news about your dog and her siblings. It's good to hear you're happy with her.

    A very safe healthy and Happy New Year to you!

    A very safe, healthy and happy New Year to you too. LMD!!
    An excellent £77 potted too!

    Blwddyn Newydd Dda Siju or a very safe, healthy and happy New Year to you and all the family! I hope you had a wonderful time.

    Brilliant potting ThriftyPrincess40!!

    I love the Welsh language too Ant, if I only knew how it was pronounced?! How lovely of you to buy your mum some Welsh dolls, with Merry Christmas on as well. I don't blame her for keeping them up all year round, why not with something you love, bless her. 

    A very safe, healthy and happy New Year to you too Vicky!
    A great amount of cash potted!

    More excellent potting LMD!!

    £20 transferred from our account to our SPC one! Happy with that given the time of year.

    ******************************************************************
