Afternoon everyone, added a few pennies to the pot today - doesn't matter how much it is, that clunking sound as it hits other pennies is so good! Hope everyone's having a good weekend.3

Happy Sunday, everyone!
£5.57 swept from my main account into my Sealed Pot savings. Even though all of mine is virtual and I keep a spreadsheet, I still don't have a clue what is actually in my "pot" as I forget from one minute to the next. The benefits of a perimenopausal brain...

Hello all on a very cold and very wet Sunday - nothing from me today and possibly nothing through next week either as I'm working from home. On a plus side, I won't be spending anything either
Going to post a few more items on FB Marketplace to see if I can make up for it that way.3 -
Just catching up on the thread. Welcome to all the new savers 😍
I'm sorry things didn't work out with Holly @MrsShazbat 💕
We've just come back from a very cold snowy 7 night cruise. We had visited all the ports before so didn't feel the need to rush off and explore but just enjoyed relaxing after a busy Christmas. My waistline needs a bit of a reduction now though 🤣
Potted £10. Have a lovely week 😊

Hey all! I'd like to join as well please. I've started using cash for all flexi expenses this year to keep my finances in check while I pay off some of my renovations debt. I was exploring the "second purse" idea the other day but found some old hot chocolate tin last night and thought I will join here instead as I have quite a bit of spare change lately and aiming to save the money I save on n3ctar prices etc. Tin is ready to go and 22nd October added to reminders! Good luck everyone!
