    :hello: Hi Everyone

    Welcome Chick2 and Redruby Sue will be around soon and give you both numbers . The idea is not to count your money till December then it will be a surprise but you can shake your tin,weigh it, hold it up to the light,even drop it and have to count it back in:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Not that I would of course !!!
    Have fun saving cos that's what its about.

    Well Reb Hope Tara is ok (((hugs))) I agree Sparky about the group hug:rotfl:

    Hope you and Kas are enjoying yourselves

    Yes Elsie, I think we are in line for gold stars.Are you listening Sparky?.

    Hi LC hope that job is OK. Guess your shattered with all that work.

    See Stunty is still busy bet the wedding is all organised and paid for!!!

    Been busy myself last couple of days still putting my money in my jar. DH will empty it on Friday and hide it away. This month has flown by. Would love to get my hands on all the bags he has hidden away told him it should all be changed ready for the bank but he just laughed.
    Will try and catch up with everyone tomorrow. X LC2

    Morning all,

    It was a NSD for me yesterday, so nothing at all into my pot, but I still have my grandaughter's 12p sitting on the windowsill and its been there for a couple of weeks, so I think she has forgotten about it, so Its into my potty. Naughty grandma,:eek: but I did give them £5 to take with them to the seaside, so does that make it even steven's.!:A

    By the way Sparky, my hubby had to catch the bus this week, first time in about 30 years, and as we were stood at the bus stop he spied the 2p that is glued to the floor.:D With some glee and smirks, mostly aimed at me, he went to pick it up. Only to realize that this is the 2p that is glued down :mad: and that I had previously told him about. It cheered up my morning no end.:rotfl: :rotfl:

    Right have a good Bank Holiday weekend everyone, I'm off for a few days, and will try to save a few pennies whilst I am away.:T


    June 2010 - 11/56 lbs Weight to lose before May 2011.

  • This morning, I have officially filled my first pot :j

    Just debating whether to crack it open now and add the proceeds to the savings account so it's getting interest or wait until December when I hopefully have another filled pot so I can properly break the machine in HSBC :D
