    Morning everyone,
    Hope everyone is well, make sure you get wrapped up this morning it's a bit wild and wooly :eek:. Not much to report, about £3 into my pot yesterday :D. Got a busy Easter week coming up, decorating the kitchen & changing the ceiling lights, looks like the clampets live in our house at the mo, as everything is upside down & all the cupboard doors are off waiting for their repacements to arrive :D.

    Welcome to our newest members, hope you enjoy being on the best thread on MSE ;).

    Will try to catch you all later, take care & keep saving :T

    Morning all!!!!

    Haven't been on for ages!!!! but my pot is filling up nicely- I keep trying to peep in - ooh the exceitement ha ha:D
    DS1 and DS2 seem to have a knack of finding money wherever we go, got 30p the other week walking to school, DS2 then annouced in the post office the other day 'it's my lucky day' as he picked up a penny, DS1 then informed him it was only lucky if you give it to someone else -namely him!!!!!:rolleyes:

    Have fun I'm off work so lots of days out- got money put aside and any left over will be going in my pot at the end of the hols!!!!

    Hi all managed to find 70p for the tin today but it's pay day tomorrow so hopefully there will be a bit more!!
    Am very jealous of gettingbetter for finding £25 in their washer!!! I have had the odd bit of copper and even the odd 50p/£1 and once a £2 coin but usually its sweet wrappers and the like!!!

    :hello: MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

    Glad to see Reb missed me, but has now gone AWOL herself.:rolleyes:
    Well done on the roadkill total Sparky - I'm VERY jealous.:o On a less posotive note, sorry to hear about your DW colleague. There were 3 boys stabbed just down the road from us only last night. 'Tis very sad.
    Elsie/LC2/Sue, glad you didn't get up to too much mischief or pot opening while I was away. I've got £20 that I'm going to pop in as I've missed a fair few days.
    Anyways chaps it's good to be back. I had a fantastice time in Jordan, and would highly recommend it, although you do have to be prepared for quite a lot of walking/climbing. I'm tired tonight, but I'll post a few piccies over the weekend.

    Sorry if I've missed anyone off.:A Speak soon. LCxxx
    OOOOOH! Stunty, as they say - I saved the best till last. LOL:rotfl:Hope you're doing OK. When are you counting your roadkill?
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    Hi LC.:hello:

    Glad to see you are back and had a great time.....its been a bit quiet on here without you.;)

    I havn't posted for a couple of days, been busy at work and not had many pennies to go into potty, but as you say, I don't think anyone has given into temptation and opened their pots.....as if. !!:naughty: :rotfl:

    Only 77p into pot today, but hopefully will make it up with £5 at the weekend.

    Good to have you back LC. Glad you had a good time. Nothing in my bottle today, far too busy trying to study (and after 6 hours I've done one and a bit questions on an assignment of 4 questions due tomorrow, why do I leave things so late??)
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
