  • Went to the pub last night and as a result had a lot of change - ended up with just over £10, with 4 £2 coins and over a pound in 20ps.

    Don't have a hangover either :D

    HI Sparky and everyone else - well my life as normal (whats that) has been up and down again - this time I got to ride in the ambulance with the blue lights going !!!! I'm ok now and luckliy all the tests were clear - have NOT got a dodgy ticker thank goodness! Seems the ache in my chcest could be something called GOST or a hernia and the extremes of hearth beat could be caused by the medicine i take for under active thyroid !!

    Anyway no pennies in Ziggie cos I have been anywhere !!!

    hope you are all well - quick question Sue - are you based in the UK or do you work nights or suffer from insomnia ??? Sorry very nosy question I know

    Hi everyone

    Sorry I've not really been posting but baby William arrived a little early on 14 Dec :j and it's all been a bit of a blur since however things are calming down a little now. You did say to let you all know so that you could have a drink to the baby so please have one for me too :beer: - I can't because I'm breastfeeding but at least I'm saving money by not using formula.

    Not doing too well with my £2 coin pot as I've not really been spending much so am thinking of setting myself a weekly spending budget and putting anything I don't spend in a week straight into the pot - that's the plan anyway!



    Take care and happy saving

    Rachel

    Congratulations Rachel
    I think baby William is a new addition to the MSE world and one of the few babies we have on sealed pot challenge :j , his Birthday is the same as my elder brother's and there's only 50 years between them! lol :rotfl:

    Good to see you're putting money into your pots, it gets very addictive doesn't it? I found another 16p road change this afternoon walking the dog, so thats more towards the debt on 1st April YAY
