    I potted FIVE £2 coins today :rotfl:.Three of them I got in my change today,the others over the last week or so.


    Hint:
    -I find self-service machines are very generous with £2 coins.I especially notice it in Sainsbury,though today I got 2of them from WHSmiths self-service tills

    Purse emptying much better this fortnight - £12.27 instead of £2.12!:D
  • £9 potted this morning. I don’t post often but still potting away, I actually can’t wait until opening day. I’ve never managed to save but just had to order more tins as cannot squeeze any more in, I don’t expect to have loads come 1st November but a lot more than usual! This group has really given me the motivation to save what I can and I’ve not been tempted at all to open it - even when we went on holiday, it stayed put. I’ve not been keeping count of what I put in so will be a complete surprise!
  • Hi folks

    Sadly potting has come to an end for now. Maternity pay has finished. Got nursery fees to pay. My car has broken and now my laptop has died today costing me £80 in hard drive rescue and back up fees. I am resisting the urge to empty my pot.... back to work in 3 weeks. Hoping to survive till then.

    Hope you're all well.

    In other news baby turned 8 months last week and is now crawling..... gulp. Ha ha

    Saver Upper! Stop nicking my £2 Coins :eek: :rotfl: and I see that Lost2 is also pilfering them! hmmph, I shall be having words with self service tills!

    Welcome back Sue, now you know I will never really behave myself :D

    Well done with your full tins Twigletsmum!

    Good luck with your return to work Hickles

    I have been so so poorly today :( I really am at the stage of going back to bed but have to wait for my mothers phone call before I can :( woke up to an upset tummy and I actually thought I was going to pass out I was so unwell. Have not dared eat anything today and have just sat in my chair all day trying to get mysef into the kitchen to make a cup of tea.

    In better news, i've been helping my parents clear out all their stuff from their garage, mum says 'ooo whatever you sell you can keep half as you are doing all the work' hope she sticks to that deal cos we are currently at £460! :eek: (hence the waiting for a phone call she's parcelling stuff up ive sold and will need the addresses to put on them). I swear, if I get half of that, im going down the bank, changing it all to £2 coins and feeding my £2 coin tin :rotfl: I CANNOT finish the year without a full £2 coin tin! thats just wrong!

    I am off back to wallow in my self pity and try to make a cuppa, I shall contemplate a biscuit when I get there as i'm terrified to eat :(

  • Hello everyone, remember me? :) I have missed so much potting news but DH has had so many health problems this year that I haven't known whether I was on my head or my tail at times. So sorry to hear that you have had a tough time lately too Sue-uu. And I HATE jobs being done in the house. It's always sooooo messy. Hope things are a bit better now.
    I have still been potting away and also making and selling small items at a monthly craft fair. I'm putting the money in a box (unsealed as I need to put some money in birthday cards etc over the next few weeks) but I will add the remainder to my declared total on 1st November. That will be my birthday...yay! so a double celebration :)
    Hope you feel better soon too jakes_mum. Tummy pain is awful :(
    Hugs to everyone, friends old and new x

    Where are you, 32b3 and Lynne?!!! I miss seeing you both very much indeed.

    Hi Sue

    I am here, been very hectic, i have been promoted - twice - and have been away on holiday - twice - so have been really busy. I have been potting, but not as much as I would have liked. Coming on here daily certainly makes me more inclined to pot. i have potted $70 and €50 swell as lots of change, but not daily as usual.

    I will charge my iPad as I am more likely to post when i can do so on there rather than getting laptop out.

    I hope everyone is well, not long now until opening day.

    I will try to read back at the weekend.

  • Hey I'm back ,
    I'm usong my card way too much again.

    I took out £100 for clothes shopping but I had £30 left, a girl found my purse the other day and I gave her £10... I was having a terrible argument with my fiance where I almost walked out so I wanted to make someone else's day.

    So I now have £28.89 in my pot.
    I'm not saving for christmas as I already have saved the amount I want to for christmas already.
    It'll be going towards a new house or home items...
