    Morning everyone
    Sorry I've not been around, bit of a hectic time in work, new bosses, and a lot of transition, but we'll get by, just have to train the boss to out way of thinking lol :rotfl:

    LC fantastic news hun, all that hard work paid off kid, I'm so pleased for you :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T :T Hope the hangover isn't too bad :D


    Sue, sorry I went awol (on one knee) I solemnly swear not to do it again :rolleyes:

    Reb, thanks for holding the fort while I was away ;)

    Luckycharlie, thanks for asking after me, I'm touched that you missed me, normally the only people who miss me are my DW and people I owe money to :rolleyes:

    stunty, I'm in the same boat too just changed to BT, and they didn't tell me when I was due to come live with my t'internet connection :mad: , but the home hub does sort of make up for it :D (as well as the £47.50 Quidco cashback :D )

    Welcome to our newbies, you'll have a fantastic time, and it's very addictive :D

    Have a great day everyone, but get wrapped up

    Morning everyone.

    WELL DONE LC on your new job, that absolutely brilliant news.:j:T:beer:

    £5 into potty today, to make up for only putting a fiver in last Saturday. Payday for both OH and myself this weekend, so should have money to put in as usual. :T

    It really is addictive this saving lark, I have even opened a savings account after reading one of Martins posts earlier in the month, and have a little bit of money in there. If this continues, I may need a bigger potty.!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a good day everyone.

    Lucky Charlie, aww that's nice to know someone actually missed me.;)

    I am still here, but shifts have been changed at work, and being the old bird that I am, have been too tired to post. !!!! and more to the point I've not had any spare cash to put in.....:o

    I do log onto the site every day, its too exciting to miss, and besides, If I miss a day, it takes ages to read everyones posts. Not that I am nosy you understand, I just like to know whats going on.:rolleyes:

    Right, got to go, work to be done.

    Psssssssssssttttttttt! I think we are all getting itchy fingers, :confused:

    [me too, I did it, but don't tell Little Chicken. :A]
    I bet most of us have done it...and resealed our tins. :T
    Funny though cos most of us have no target, but just to get to as much as we can. Yet still we have to check.....just to see if we are 'on target!'
    :rotfl::rotfl:LOL! I love it!:rotfl::rotfl:
    :p

    Phew, thought I'd get a good telling off, thanks for the understanding! I was so pleased that I wasn't even tempted to take a penny out. Going to stick to regular shaking of tin instead from now on.
