    Hi Sparky. I've just abut recovered - thanks.:beer:

    It was busy in town, I managed to put about £8 in my pottie though.:j

    Sue, I'm already wavering on the no booze route. OH is off out tonight so I'm going to watch the SATC movie, but it's just not the same without a glass of wine.:confused:

    No roadkill for me today - maybe Stunty has a double down here that's snuffled it away before I get to it.:rolleyes:

    Good to see so many people still posting, and clunking away. My piggy-wiggy is almost full already, but it is fairly small.
    i painted my pig today with my son it is for roadjkill only i will post a pic once finished
    you cant change yesterday
    but you can make tomorrow better
  • Well I am up and running!! the Celebrations Tin from Xmas is now taped up and my first day of rummaging around the house meant I have a grand total of £1.09! Quite excited about it all (really very sad I know!!)
    :idea: Jan 2008-Paid 74% of debt as of MAR 2012 (DFD - APR 2014)

    Hi SueUU & everyone,

    I did my first clunk of the year today - all silver so have £3.50 in my pot. I save £2 coins separately & have always saved 1p's, 2p's & 5p's for DD & save 10p's for parking so it'll only be 20p, 50p & £1 coins & £5 notes if I ever have any spare :rolleyes: .

    I'm thinking that if I have to distribute my change amongst the various pots it should mean many more NSDs too as it's always the change that gets spent on rubbish & now I wont have any at all in my purse :cool:

    Waffle away all you want. We're all pretty supportive and I think we're pretty good at listening. Sounds like you need to get it off your chest. Let us know how your lad gets on ok?
