    :rolleyes: People are saying how quiet it is here. Soooooooooooooooooooooooo I thought I would rear my ugly head from the naughty step!

    :j Hello People! :j
    So now I have been good and quiet, may I please be allowed off Auntie Sue? Just leave Kas there, mind at the mo I think she has absconded with LC and LC2. TUT!!
    I have been good and saved well this last week. I even went for a meal with a load of friends, cos a freind was here from USA and my meal was not good, so I got it free! Yaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!! Money is in the pot! :T

    :A My lovely Tara is due to have her stitches out today. :A
    She is doing good for a 15yr old poodle.
    The vet has even showed me how to tell a cancerous lump form a benign one whilst it is tiny. I just wish he had told me a £1,0000 ago.:cool:
    I am thinking of selling the instructions to fill my pot and therefore beat LC good and proper. Bless her, she has started that new job and must be falling asleep after work, but you can bet your bottom dollar she will be saving well. :mad:
    :p


    Morning trouble!
    Get back on the naughty step will you, or you'll end up with lines :p

    "I must not incite others to be naughty"
    "I must not incite others to be naughty"
    etc, etc, etc.

    Good to hear Tara is on the mend hun, and very MSE on getting the meal for free :T. Happy saving ;)

    Welcome catspaw.
    You've found the best thread on MSE, Sue_UU (the boss) will be online later, to allocate you a number, then you'll be an official member of the gang ;). You'll also find it very addictive, I stumbled across the first sealed pot challenge about 18 months ago, and I can't get out of it now :rotfl:

    Don't get roped in by the 2 naughty people on here they'll try to lead you astray :rolleyes:

    Well, the highs and the lows ........ I had a sale (hurrah) so a crisp £5 for pot one, and £2 coins for pots 2 and 3. But yesterday I only had 20p, so pot one got that, two left hungry
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60

            Just had some good news through the post. I have been doing the credit card reclaim for my DW, and a letter from the Financial Ombudsman arrived a few minutes ago, Capital One are repaying in full all the charges a total of £853.32 :j, just got to get DW to sign the acceptance form and send it off to FOS :D, all for the cost of a couple of registered letters

            Hey Everyone,

            Feeling better today - YAY, back at work - BOO

            Lol

            Put another 30 odd p in the pot today and have some change to go in tonight including a few of them there shiney gold ones.

            Does anyone know if Barclays has a limit on the number of bags you can pay in? I used to bank with lloyds but moved when i went BR and now not sure, then again, ive got a few months to wait to find out lol

            Hope everyone has a sunny day :)

            xx

            Thanks PB,
            Good news that you're feeling better, pity you're in work though. I have to go in myself 3:30 to 12 midnight, then off for 4 days with DW, meeting friends in Chester on Sunday. Hopefully finish off this bl**dy kitchen too :D
