    :wave: It's very quiet in here today. Has everyone gone on holiday? :wave:

    I am trying to work out whether I ought to pay some extra of the mortgage with what I have in my pot or keep it for a surprise holiday.....at this rate in about 4 years!

    I put some money in today to stop my little pig gurgling. I will get him full.

    :whistle:Has anyone seen Little Chicken....
    is her puter down or has she got lost in London?:whistle:
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!
    :D
  • Hi all - still here and still filling up the tin - its getting heavy now and is still sealed so I am very proud of myself!

    Keep up the good work everyone - its almost Christmas!!! :xmassign:

Never again - right??? :mad: Or you'll be breaking the ankle again from overload!!! Self-discipline is what you need plenty of so think on and get yourself fit for your beloved!!!......<<<"thinks better behave Mummy sue might skelp my !!!">>> Better behave indeed Kas, or she certainly will!!! :mad: See, you all think to yourself "while the cat's away etc", BUT, her comes back and goes right through all yer posts - so be warned!:naughty:.....I Hope your friends baby gets better soon Jess......Hi reb Re "Where's Little Chicken has she left home?" I'm sure she said she wouldn't be here for a few days; goes to show how much you notice you take of what she says while you 2 forever keep trying to get one over on each other :rolleyes: - but I spies all!!! :cool:Yes, I know, she's no better'n you!

    As reb points out it's very quiet in here, a sign of the good weather no doubt. £2.52 left over from the shopping on Monday for me - in the pot now!:D

    Morning everyone.

    Its been a terrible week for my sealed tin..:o...... Not had any spare cash I'm afraid so he's probably staving up there in the loft, feeling unloved and forgotten. The car broke down this week so that needed to go into the garage, so £107 needed to be paid. :mad: We did have that saved, (which before joining this site....I wouldn't have had and would have stuck it on the cc.) so that's a positive note, :T but we have had birthdays galore and mothers day, so as I said nothing to spare for potty. I have a little bit of copper to put in at the weekend and if I can sneak a bit out of housekeeping then that will go in too. Roll on payday. Have a good day everyone, :cool: weather is beautiful here and I've got a day off work. !! :T
