    Keep at it @BeyondDirect981

    Potting is a great habit. Bits and bobs is how I do it too. I rarely pot big but I do pot often

    My latest "bit" potted was a whole £1 this morning. It's not much, but so much better than nothing; it's amazing how it all adds up.

  • I've accidentally added £36.30 to the physical tin today, I wasn't supposed to be adding the notes from my left over budget this month but I forgot and in they went. 🤷‍♀️

    #14 - Found a couple of pounds in a coat pocket the other day (along with a key that I do not recognise 🤣 ) so with loose change I've potted £3.72.
