    :beer: Hi everjone, hope you're all drunk not too mUch and haivng a good ChRistmaS. (hic) _party_

    Got £10 from Mum (bless her) and £10 from a nice neighbor. On Monday will convert into £2 coins and pop it all straight in my tin. I've got a feeling the savings might go towards a new bed (backache) and/or Hallway carpet, but don't quote me on that ;)

    ...need coffee.

    I have about £3.50 saved in 1s 2s and 5s :) so at the end of January i will put them into the bank!

    I have a gold one pound coin that keeps looking at me and saying "dont spend me in the pointless January sales , put me in the sealed pot , please!" lol.. so i may have to give in and plonk that in to hear the sweet sound of metal coins clunking against each other! lol. .. ok i see this as being an obsession now!

    Stunty- I hope you spoilt future mrs. stunty :) and visa versa!

    Anyway , i have a badly messed up room , if my mum sees i will be dead lol , so im trying to do it bit by bit before she sees it ,or i am dead for sure lol.

    Hi all!

    Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas :D

    I put £2 into my tub yesterday and another 51p today. Now, just to make sure I pay money into the bank to cover what I spent today in the sales :p
