  • Hello everyone,
    I haven't done so well this month. I've got £13.00 to go in my sealed pot. I really will have to go shopping more often so that I can get more small change!
    We seem to have very little "road kill" around here, I think I've only had 1p for the whole month.
    WER.

    SPC 5 £206.11
    SPC 6 £153.90

    Sparky, really sorry to hear about your DW's colleague, that's really sad. Will be nice when we don't have to worry about such awful things happening anymore. Big hugs to you and your DW

    Hi rosepink,
    Thanks hun, I'll pass the hugs onto my DW, she'll appreciate it. I just don't understand why people have to carry knives around with them, it's such a tragic waste.

    :hello: Good morning everyone .

    Sparky please pass on my thoughts to you DW. Its so sad that such young lives are being lost like this.Perhaps more power to the police so they can arrest people carrying knives and get proper sentencing instead of being told they shouldn't do it and a few hours community sentence. Sorry to rant but I know of a couple of people who have had community sentences a couple of times and just think its a joke!!!!

    Anyway back to savings hoping to have a nsd cos I really need it.

    Reb I know what we could do when the site is closed. Count our pennies!!!!
    I was only joking;)

    jpwhittle Glad the dedication service went well.

    Bigbum you have just beaten me and Elsie in one go on road kill!!

    I think Elsie and I had better spend our time off from this thread searching the streets.

    Dh did the school run this morning so I am going to do some baking syrup pudding for dessert tonight. Yes I know its fattening and not good for us:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Have a good day everyone X LC2

    Morning everyone,
    Thanks for all the hugs & well wishes.

    JPW well done on the £10 find, good for you hun, glad the dedication went well, how is Noah BTW, hope he's well. :j

    Bigbum, nice find of £1 coin, good to hear you're getting some good tips, but a word from the wise, don't be led astray by reb & luckycharlie, they're trouble when they're together :rotfl: . Don't be tempted by them, I think we're going to have to re-introduce the naughty step & lines where these two are concerned :rolleyes:

    WER, nice to see you back, hope you're OK and everything is fine at your neck of the woods ;)

    skippycat, you can't be far off finishing that student loan of yours, the frequency of money you're putting towards that, well done you :T

    sue, I think you really need someone to look at your 'puter kid, some of the regulars on here are misbehaving while you, stunty and me, are having t'internet problems (You know who you are :rotfl: )

    Have a great day everyone, take care & keep saving :D
