I can hardly believe this.......DH gave me some of his odd bits of change for my pottery piggy yesterday and just as I was thanking him and telling him how kind it was of him to think of me, he said......'Oh well it's mine really, as I contributed most of the change in it'. :eek: WHAT!:eek: ' No! it most definately is not yours', I said, and suggested he thought again:rotfl: . So now he has decided to get his own pottery piggy in oposition to mine....which will now cut down on the amount of loose change I can pinch off him. I was so cross, I made him go and dig in the garden all day today and I am considering sealing up and hiding pottery piggy to prevent any tampering with it by DH hoping to have a better piggy than mine. MEN!! Anyway, I relented and cooked him a lovely Sunday Roast and he hasn't mentioned the 2nd Piggy since, but if he does, little does he know it, but that will be mine as well.......:rotfl:........as it was my idea in the first place.

Oh and just to make matters worse -the 'pavement pennies sniffer dog' is on strike and won't look for anything other than crisp packets which might just not be empty and any other discarded bag which might just happen to have had food in it. When we bought her we were told some of her ancestors had been police dogs -guess the brains didn't run in the family ....bless her...we love her to bits really.

Hello all :wave:

I have just made yet another sealed pot (this time it will be for £1 coins)

I think I may have become a bit obsessed. I was washing up a juice botle for recycling and I thought what a wonderful pot it would make for £1 coins (my £2 coins are in a converted jam jar, my random coins are in a gift box a mug came in and the 10ps are in my pigsback piggy bank) so out came the craft knife and a slot was created in the lid which I superglued on.

Not to worry about needing to break in to the pot, better luck in keeping the new one in tact. Are you still going to WW? ....Well done LC for that voucher, it pays to moan! ......elizabunny you make me laugh at times, yours sound like a mad house somehow, keep it up!.....If you're obsessed poorandindenial then so am I, in fact the family think I'm bonkers!

Ooops, any one here from Cheltenham it's a terrific place, salt of the earth etc...!

Good morning everyone,
Young Jess, welcome back to the fold, sorry to hear about your friends grandad. Well done on the apprenticeship, good for you! I've got to ask, how much is on your Mr A's card? lol :rotfl:

Something to brighten your day

A Primary Teacher explains to her class that she is a Liverpool fan.

She asks her students to raise their hands if they too are Liverpool fans.

Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl.

The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says, 'Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?'

'Because I'm not a Liverpool fan.' she replied.

The teacher, still shocked, asked, 'Well, if you are not a Liverpool fan, then who are you a fan of?'

'I am a Man Utd fan, and proud of it.' Mary replied.

The teacher could not believe her ears. 'Mary, why, pray tell, are you a Man Utd fan?'

'Because my mum is a Man Utd fan, and my dad is a Man Utd fan, so I'm a Man Utd fan too!'

'Well,' said the teacher in an obviously annoyed tone, 'that is no reason for you to be a Man Utd fan.

You don't have to be just like your parents all of the time... What if your mum was a prostitute and your dad was a drug addict, what would you be then?'

'Then,' Mary smiled, 'I'd be a Liverpool fan.'






An Australian, an Irishman and a Scouser are in a bar.

They're staring at another man sitting on his own at a table in the corner.

He's so familiar, and not recognising him is driving them mad.

They stare and stare, until suddenly the Irishman twigs: 'My God, it's Jesus!'

Sure enough, it is Jesus, nursing a pint.

Thrilled, they send him over a pint of Guinness, a pint of Fosters and a
pint of bitter.

Jesus accepts the drinks, smiles over at the three men, and drinks the pints slowly, one after another.

After he's finished the drinks, Jesus approaches the trio.

He reaches for the hand of the Irishman and shakes it, thanking him for the Guinness.

When he lets go, the Irishman gives a cry of amazement: 'My God! The arthritis I've had for 30 years is gone. It's a miracle!'

Jesus then shakes the Aussie's hand, thanking him for the lager.

As he lets go, the man's eyes widen in shock.

'Strewth mate, the bad back I've had all my life is completely gone! It's A Miracle.'



Jesus then approaches the Scouser who says, 'Back off, mate, I'm on disability benefit.'



A scouser walked into the local job centre, marched straight up to the Counter and said ' Hi , I'm looking for a job'.

The man behind the counter replied 'Your timing is amazing. We've just got one in from a very wealthy man who wants a chauffeur/bodyguard for his nymphomaniac twin daughters. You'll have to drive around in a big black Mercedes and wear the uniform provided. The hours are a bit long but the meals are provided. You also have to escort the young ladies on their Overseas holidays. The Salary package is £200,000 a year'.

The Scouser said 'You're bullsh*tting me!'

The man behind the counter said 'Well you started it!'



Police cordoned off Liverpool City Centre this morning when a suspicious object was discovered in a car.

It later turned out to be a tax disc

Hope you enjoyed them!
