    Managed to pop about £3 in the pottery piggy over the past few days but only because DH borrowed (again) £7 from it and I demanded interest plus a full return of all borrowings.

    I really hated sorting out the £7 for him because I had to look at the money and touch it. Anyway I resisted the urge to count it and hurridly put it back in piggy. Quite pleased with the interest I got thoughicon7.gif

    Hope all your pots and piggies are filling up.

    Here's one to make you smile!
    A Liverpudlian walks into a bank in Hope Street and asks for the loan officer.
    He tells the loan officer that he is going to Australia on business
    for two weeks and needs to borrow £5,000.


    The bank officer tells him that the bank

    will need some form of security for the loan,

    so the Scouser lad hands over the keys
    and documents of new Ferrari parked
    on the street in front of the bank.
    He produces the Log Book and everything checks out.
    The loan officer agrees to accept
    the car as collateral for the loan.

    The bank's Manager and its officers
    all enjoy a good laugh at the rough looking Scouser
    for using a
    £120,000 Ferrari
    as collateral against a £5 000
    loan.
    An employee of the bank then
    drives the Ferrari into the bank's
    underground garage and parks it there.

    Two weeks later, the Scally returns,
    repays the £5,000 and the interest,
    which comes to £15.41.
    The loan officer says,

    "Sir, we are very happy to have had your business,
    and this transaction has worked out very nicely,
    but we are a little puzzled.
    While you were away,
    we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire.
    What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow "£5,000" ?

    The Scouser replies:
    "Where else in Liverpool can I park my car
    for two weeks for only £15.41
    and expect it to be there when I return'"


    Ah, the mind of the True Scouser..

    This is why they survive

    Sold a book for £3 (yay) so that's destined for my holiday pot, the charity pot got my last 20p and the 'family treat' pot got zip. Today I plan to spend as little as possible so I can pay a little extra to some bills.... so it may be a day or two before I can feed my pots again.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.
            Fiver Friday #13 £35
          1. Made £13.80 on ebay which is now heading for the tins, although i will have to change what i want to save up for as i am going on holiday in novemeber so i will be saving for that instead :D
