    Hi Little Chicken. Well done! Fingers crossed you get the job.

    My interview went okish... I'm not getting my hopes up too much though in case I end up disappointed. Will hopefully have a decision about it tomorrow though.

    I feel exactly the same, there's no point getting stressed about these things.:A

    Will keep my fingers and toes crossed for you.;)
    :grin: Save me from spending...

  • Hi all - not been a good month so far for my pot - mainly just coppers in this month but at least I am still putting in and not taking out!

    I have £1.04 in my purse and have decided it can all go in tonight as a special treat!

    2p roadkill today found at the bus stop - so (drumroll please - thank you) .......I now have the grand total of 42p so far this year in my roadkill pot:j

    Keep well and keep saving x

    I'm sorry I have been so bad , I emptied my pot :cry:

    I decided there was to much money in it to leave it lieing about the house and am taking it to the bank.

    The good news is I had £386 in it , daughter sat with tweezers and got all the money out so as not to break the terrimundi pot lol Had £305 in notes and only ripped one of them so sellotaped it back together lol

    I have started sealed pot again, put about £16 of change in it so starting again lol

    Maybe you'll do better this time.;)
