    Hi, life has been chaos as I started my teacher training so I haven't had much of a chance to post. I also haven't had much chance to spend money so I haven't really been potting as much as I would like. It's nearly back round to payday so anything left in the purse will be going in the pot.

    Sorry I've neglected you all (and my pot) recently, I dipped into the overtime virtual pot savings to replace the boiler over the summer hols and have not been feeding my sealed pot Quite as well in recent months due to dd3 getting married a fortnight ago and all the little extra spends that created. She and her new hubby paid for the whole wedding themselves but it was little extra bits like suit dry cleaning manicures and stuff like that that aren't normally in my budget.
    Anyway I'm back for the final push to see what I can get in my pot before the grand opening day.
    Hope everyone is well especially our lovely su. X

    Morning pottersssssssssssssss

    Oooo Siju that sounds amazing! I sooooo want to push up our timeline now for doing this! I do secretly consider about just taking all 4 of us and having a two bedroom cabin, though would DS even want to come at 16 1/2 . . . :think: now he's all grown up and all . . . Think I need to do some research into onboard entertainment for children and see if maybe DD would be ok by herself for a week. The main worry is that I get terribly seasick ( i even got seasick on a big people mover over a pond in Australia once) and DH is worried about how we'd all cope if i'm sick as a dog and we have the kids with us. I keep trying to convince him (and me) that its not like being on a cross channel ferry and that it doesn't rock like a normal boat would!

    Anyway, rambling! . . potting news! Well I had a whole bag full of £2 and £1 coins on tuesday night, I have no idea how many were in there but there was lots :D and DH gave me another £2 coin which he got in his change from buying some bread yesterday :D:D pots well fed this week!

    Potted £2.00 today. Had a good clear out of my wardrobe last month; took some to charity shops and am now selling some on Ebay. So far have made £28 on Ebay. All will be added to the pot! :D


    With just over a month to go until opening time - I'm going to try to step up my potting. I don't think I will beat my previous amounts which were over £300 as I went part-time last year. I have less money to spend and pot but every little helps. :)

    Today was finally payday! So, I emptied my purse of this months spending money that I didn't spend... a whopping £1.50! But hey, it's better than nothing. I'm hoping to have a little more left over next month as I had a few unexpected spends this month.

    Afternooooooooon Potterssssssssssssssssssssss

    30 days to go is it? till opening day? OMG! Need to pot more money!

    DH went off to the pub and came back with a £2 coin :D He tried to keep his silver change but I was having none of that :naughty: and swiftly removed it from his hand with only the minimal amount of grappling (he really should know better by now!) so a lovely £3.20 in the pot last night :D I also have £20 from our dear uncle as I sold his conservatory furniture for him so he gave me half the money :D just need to change it up into coins before I pot it (more to count on count up day! notes are not fun!)

    Have been having a rummage to see if I can find anything to sell on fleabay to make a few more potty pennies, so far I have roughly £70 that needs removing and potting but am waiting for fleabay to take their [STRIKE]gouging amount of fees[/STRIKE] percentage before I remove it plus I have a few more auctions finishing so might hold out till they end to see if theres anymore lovely coins for my little starving trolls tin :)
