  • Thanks to the party on saturday, I put about £10 in the pottie yesterday - plus a large golden coin from OH.

    I also had a VERY sore head resulting in a NSD.

    Unfortunately I missed my train home and a taxi cost me £25!!!! So am a tad cross with myself.

    But am trying not to feel guilty and just think, well it is Christmas, and it's not as though I'm spending money here there and everywhere...
    :grin: Save me from spending...

  • [FONT=&quot]Thanks for the welcome Sue-UU, yes Wiggins is a very well behaved piggy and sits for ages without me asking him :D

    another handful of coins from my purse today

  • I was doing so well, or so i thought. Then through the letterbox comes dh credit card bill from virgin:mad: since i had forgotten about this one and they want received payment by Jan 1st and dh doesn't get paid til Dec 29th i reluctantly opened up my "pot" to put towards the bill and found a astounding £68:D needless to say i've got a new pot and starting over.

    Lesson learned, and i've now signed up to pay bills on-line so i don't get caught out by this again and dh pockets will be emptied later.

    A few small rattles in to the bottle today, change found in the bottom of an old handbag and a few coins I found in the bottom of my bed after the male abandoned his jeans there the other night (well it saves me turning him upside down to find his money I suppose).
