elsie52

Hi Guys

I have put £2.76 into little pot today.......and all the money which has been put in for the week has now been transferred into "Sealed Pot" which is kept in the loft...( for safe keeping ).!! From itchy fingers......who me :rolleyes:

So now money tucked away good and proper......it won't see light of day again until next Saturday.;)

Welcome to all the newcomers! It's so nice to have you all with us. I'm quite new, only been on here a few weeks, but it's fun!
Not having much success at the mo, have had a few NSDs, then realised I don't have any cash anyway as husb borrowed my £5 to pay for some advertising in a shop, so I asked him to get me £10 out as he was going shopping (not a bad rate of interest!) but altho he has it he hasn't given it to me yet!
I went for a stroll round Tesco car park but didn't find a thing. Not a penny. Nada. Zilch. Zero. I guess the men that wash the cars nab all the roadkill! :rotfl:
Jenchin - can't believe you found £5!!!
Kel - glad you got your £2 coin back! How are you today? Hope you get some sleep tonight, it must be rough if you can't sleep. Have you got something on your mind, or do you always have trouble sleeping?

Hi all, just got back from a week in Whitby and have put £8.72 in the pot, a whole 8p of which was roadkill :rotfl:

Quite a bit of silver added to my pot today.I'm living on a pre-determined budget this year and I'm managing really well.This does mean a lack of change though so it makes me feel good to add some here and there.
I'd like to back up what Sparky and Stunty said about opening pots.We were all in this last year and many of us had to dip into our pots.I actually opened mine in August in order to have more spends on our late deal Haven holiday.I was backed up totally by all my lovely friends on here, and managed to save more again for xmas.This is meant to be a fun challenge to see how quickly the odd coin or to adds up.If your pile adds up quicker and can be put to good use then write the total down, use it and start again.That total can be added to your final total in December cos after all it was saved in your sealed pot.
Welcome to all the newbies and keep saving

ROSEPINK Hey, no I don't normally have trouble sleeping but I am on medication ( Tramadol, Diclofenac and Amitriptyline) for chronic sciatica and the Tramadol cause insomnia so I have found out the past 3 nights!! I had 3 days without my Tramadol last week and OMG was I on a "come down" you feel like you are coming off heroin!! ( I should know, I'm an ex (6 years clean) addict!!) I'm hoping it calms down though, but it's weird because I'm not that tired, Ive just cooked 2 x lasagnes, using up cupboard stuff, 2 lots of biscuits and a crumble lol,

Anyways OH just walked in the door so I'm off, Oh and 1p to the pot haha.

Hi Cally 6008 I'm really sorry you were upset by Sparkys remarks but I think if you read back you will find you can blame it on me. Really wouldn't like to see any-one upset. x:(

:hello: HI everyone Still no roadkill other than a fox on top road and I don't want him in my box!! Managed a little change 10p well I did say little.

Moneysavingfamilycomp Can I please have the naughty step preferably with a mug of coffee and a book

Yes Sparky I know it should be sealed but it was looking at me saying "Open

me, open me, you know you want to , so I did. I will pay it back, was going to to-day, but won't get paid now till Monday ,so will put it in then.

Don't you think Sparky is beginning to sound like a teacher:rotfl: :rotfl:

Sue-uu As if I would get into mischief. I do hope your computer is fixed

and thanks for keeping everyone in order x
