Sue, I didn't mean to offend with that comment. All I meant is that a few people (very few!) can come across as not-so-friendly and right now I couldn't take that. I still want to post an SOA and ask for help but need DH's permission :rolleyes: He's the private/paranoid type.

Thanks for all the hugs, they definitely help!

PS: no more pennies in my pot, can you tell I don't spend money ?! :eek:

Mellika,
I don't think sue was referring to you, I think she meant the comments from other people . I know where you're coming from, as some peoples comments can be abbrasive, if not a little insensitive :eek: .

Have a great day hun

To all you job hunters, GOOD LUCK, and best wishes with finding the right job for you .

My ideal job would be to start at 12:00 mid-day, finish at 1:00pm with an hours lunch :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: , oh and 52 weeks paid leave .

Seriously though, I do hope you all happy hunting

Hello,

Could I please join in with this challenge??

I am a newbie to the DFW boards, though have been a member & post on other boards for over a year (under a different name - I was embarassed about the debt so adopted another name to "preserve my anonymity"!!!! )

Anyway, I am up & running with sorting things out, so this would be a good thing to do to help save for Christmas.

Just one question - I have started a spending diary to see where my excess goes :rolleyes: (where?? where??!! lol) So would I include anything I put in my pot, in my spending diary? Or just throw it in & forget about it? Hope that makes sense!!

Mellika

I always prefer 'throwing it in and forgetting about it' so it's more of a surprise (and therefore more of a treat) when I finally open my pot

Welcome to the Challenge :beer:

You're welcome Ruby, it's a pleasure. Be careful of your fingers when piercing that lid for Heaven's sake! Also be careful what you're saying about "peeing" on the escalator too!!!:rotfl:quote]

Oh Lord, yes it does rather sound as though I have an escalator/incontinence issue! :rotfl: No problems in that area though, I promise!

Last night my walk home increased by at least 5 minutes due to my eyes being cast downwards to the pavement the whole time. No roadkill spotted but it was only day 1! Hopefully I'll avoid braining myself on a lamppost while trying to find that elusive first 1p....

I have a great technique for money spotted at the top of escalators - put your foot on top of th coin and slide it along until you can safely stop and pick it up!

I have a no spend day today so nothing in th pot.

Sue - i stocked up so th choc came to about £5.40 ish and the rest of th change went in my pots!
