    Hallo peeps!

    A fair few pounds in my pottie this week.:beer: And I found 5p pub-kill last night so that went into the pottie.

    It's VERY sad, but I'm exhausted from work. Who knew sitting at a desk all day would be so tiring.:eek:

    I miss my time on here, but am hoping I'll get used to the routine soon and will be back to my usual posting.:A

    Hope everyone has a lovely weekend.:D:D:D
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    I am sorry you are so exhausted. I used to hate starting a new job and having to change my routine.
    It seems to take ages to get 'it all together again.'
    We have missed you, :cry: me and Kas thought you would like to join us on the naughty spot? We are keeping it warm for you. LOL!! :T

    Keep saving peeps,
    we have a Christmas to pay for....me I have a vets bill to pay! :eek:
    I don't get to come on here too often.
    Too buzy money saving!
    :D

    Well done everyone on your saving.

    Things are a bit tight at the moment, i've managed to find 68p to add to the pot.

    Keep being good everyone, even if you're on the naughty step :) :beer:.

    Hi Reb, and NB, and everyone else of course.:hello::hello::hello:
    I found another 5p roadkill today:j:j:j
    Hubby managed to force me out of the house to the Tate today, and there it was waiting for me outside. Hubby claimed I'd get swine flu from picking it up:rolleyes: but it didn't scare me.:p
    Reb - how's the doggy doing? Are you fattening her up with treats? Did it take up all of your pennies to get her well again? poor thing.:A
    And where are mummy Sue, Elsie, Stunty and Sparky? They've all been pretty quiet of late too.:confused:
    Yay Reb, I might join you and Kas on the naughty step - but only if I can snooze there.:beer:
    Well I'm off to do some ironing now. Joy of joys. Hallo LC2:hello::hello::hello: - don't think I've forgotten you.;););)

    OOOOH!OOOOH!OOOOH!OOOOH!OOOOH!

    I forgot to say - I got paid this week and paid my overdraft off. Really pleased as I got paid more than I expected.

    I have treated myself a little too, which is a little naughty. Am trying to keep up with my MSE ways though so that I really can be debt free by the time we open our potties in December.

    :hello:

    I'm still here, keeping a watchful eye on you people, making notes of who's next on the naughty seat, the usual suspects are clearly in the lead :rolleyes:. Got 2 £2 coins yesterday, also put a lot of coins into the sealed pot.

    I've just finished fitting lights into the plinths of my new kitchen, and they're brilliant, you can set them to change colours, stay on white, or to pick up sound, and they flash in time to the beat :T, listening to War of the Worlds at the mo, and watching them flash :D. Still waiting for tradesmen to come and finish (or start) :mad: the work surface, so we can do the tilting :confused:

    I think Sue is away for the weekend, stunty is in mid wedding plans, and everyone else is taking advantage of the god weather :D
    Hope everyone hs a great Bank Holiday, kep saving & stay safe.
