  • 20p in eeyore and about 20p in small bits jar need to count that soon so i can change it to go in eeyore. bought a new fridge freezer today for £220 delivered very pleased iv been looking for one for ages. for anyone in the north east CLEARANCE BARGAINS (old argos stock) in stanley is well worth a visit. stock changes all the time so its hit and miss but has great reductions. iv saved a fortune over the last year.
    woohoo just realised iv got my second star.

    Welcome Cherrypie What a lovely name makes me feel hungry just reading it.

    Now I'm hungry too!! :rotfl:

    Thank you for the welcome although, I suspect I already know some of you from the grocery challenge!!

    I can't open my pot cos it's one of those "fill me, then smash me" ones. Got it half price just after Xmas!! :T

    Have been looking at the Terramundi pots online. They're gorgeous! £20 though - will have to wait until August for my birthday. In the meantime, my cat shaped money box will have to do!

    Hope everyone is having a roadkill-strewn weekend! :beer:

    A few small silver coins from my lunch time change, and found out that I can send my male 'eblueys' for free to where he is, so going to try to remember to put 30p in my bottle everytime I send one as sending letters via normal post would cost me a 1st class stamp.

    An unexpected, but very necessary trip to town for hubby to get more gravel for cement, netted me £2.31 for the pot - brilliant!!!

    Hi all :hello:

    Haven't updated in a while and from looking at my post history it was 25th Jan when I last posted.

    I have still been emptying my spare change (10p & below) in to my pot and the little display is now showing as £21.86. Was £18.45 in Jan.

    I make that a grand £3.41 added in just under 2 months. At this rate it's going to take me forever to get to my target of £150 :rotfl:

  • hi all what a lovely day its been spring is finally here. no change in eeyore as nsd (well apart from the £1 i borrowed from OH) we went out for a lovely walk we drove to the reservoir and walked around it and along the river in the nearby village. i knew we wouldnt be going near shops so didnt take my purse. then OH decides we should have a look to the durham dales centre along the road it has lovely little craft shops selling all kinds of locally produced and handmade stuff. i swear he does it deliberatly so i cant spend anyway i wanted some lavender to make lavender bag hearts so made him pay lol.
