    Morning all! Hope you've all had a good bank holiday

    I'm completely worn out! I thought weekends are supposed to be restful!

    DH has gone out leaving lots of change on the table, I can see at least 1 £2 coin! Yay! Will relocate it in a mo!

    Can I join in?
    I have a sealed pot (a cute Pooh bear one!) and I'm trying to put in £20 a week. This is money I would have spent on cigarettes before I gave up at the end of March.
    I have £100 in there so far (been saving for 5 weeks) and my goal is to save enough to take the family away for a weekend to Alton Towers or Centre Parcs. Once I've done that, I'll save again for a nice treat for me (botox maybe lol!)
    Well I can't stand by the side
    And watch this life pass me by

    Just want to be...Happy

    Hi everyone,

    Hope you are all being good and still saving for your potties.:A

    I have been away for 4 days on a little break and thoroughly enjoyed myself. I spent only what I had allowed myself for the 4 days, and I am pleased with that. :T Usually if I go away I always end up spending more than I intended, but the thought of my little pottie starving was enough to give me the self control that I needed.!:eek:

    It will be a NSD today, and all I had left were a couple of euros and cents so I have put those in too. Will be able to sell those on to OH at very extortionate exchange rates ;) 'cos he goes abroad quite often.

    Have a good day folks, see u tomorrow.:D

    Well done everyone, especially Little Chicken and I think you deserve the treat. Maybe I shouldn't say that - might land me on the naughty step although it becomes more tempting with each new mention of yumminess.:D

    I had a relatively cheap weekend but no spending = not much change for piggy, only 60c.
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!
