    Mornine Our Elsie
    Little Chicken.......I'm still here. I log on everyday and read the posts, I am trying to save, but I only put coppers in during the week (not Sparky type coppers - they don't fit in my pot!!).:eek: I put in my notes at the beginning of the month.

    It's stunty thats the other type of copper, not me, and I'm that short I'd probably fit into your pot :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Found out yesterday that the HSBC in Liverpool 1 has a machine for counting coins and depositing the dosh straight into your account :T, so that'll save some time on the 1st December :D

    You can keep it until going home time, then you have to hand it back :rotfl:

    :hello: Hi Everyone

    Well done Kas. Welcome kilgore1080 enjoy the thread.
    Have put lots of change in my jar it looks fuller than last month. Where is Elsie and Sue ? Hope Elsie isn't tied up in knots doing her knitting :rotfl::rotfl:

    Having a nice quiet evening in. Just about to open a big box of thorntons .

    Anyone want one??

    X LC 2

    We know Elsie is around,
    I think Sue's 'puter is playing up again :mad:, after the last time I think she will be getting to the stage of throwing it at the wall the way it's playing up. Don't worry, she should be back soon, then there'll be trouble, the naughty seat is going to be very busy :rotfl:

    Hiya LC 2,
    Seeing as you're so close to Liverpool, I'll be around to your house to collect the gold star personally :rotfl:. There's only one person on here who can give gold star's out & that's the boss :eek:, you all know who she is, even if she can't get online, she'll be rapping some knuckles when she does finally get back! :p

    I've finally got someone to come to fit the worktop in the kitchen tomorrow, so hopefully the kitchen won't look like the Clampets are living here :D, for much longer.

    With Yesterday & today, another 13p in road change :D

    Hope Monday's as nice as today

    A very warm welcome to the thread Kayleighpea, louisewh123, Lost2 and kilgore1080. Lovely to meet you all, though sorry to keep you waiting, but at last you have your numbers! :D Enjoy yourselves here and have great fun saving! You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1, read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries.

    Well, I'm back gang and it's so good to see you all. :j We (hubs & I) had an urgent plea to help youngest offspring with renovations, but all's done now so you're stuck with me!:confused:
    Good to see you've been relatively well behaved, though I've only had time for a quick look through the posts, but will trust you all. :A ...just this once!

    Thanks for keeping a watchful eye and looking out for any signs of bad behaviour sparky, it's good to know the thread, and girls, are in good hands (so to speak!:rolleyes:) whilst I'm absent. What's this about getting gold stars on June 2nd...and at the PALACE??? :eek: :think:

    Still no sign of Stunty then? Must be practicing for the honeymoon I s'pose!!! :kisses2:

    Hiya Molly!!!:wave: Good to see you and congratulations on that kitchen, sounds as though the renovations were a great success in the end, great news!! I hope the kiddies are well, you too.

    Jordan - am I reading this right - that you sold your Mum's DOG on ebay????:eek: Surely not!

    I couldn't help but see your suggestion to Kas, reb. I can 2ND that for sure!!! :dance:That has to get the quote of the week award!!!:T

    Very well done Kas!!!! You've done amazingly with your saving AND paying off!!! We must be having a good influence on you after all, all that time on the naughty stool helped you reflect I guess!:p Seriously, you've done brilliantly and should be so proud!

    lucy*locket, bet that 6p is no longer on your friend's desk, right??? Shame on you if you took it - or - by golly you're slow if you didn't!!

    LC 2 if Our Elsie doesn't want the caramel ones, chuck them my way please! Aside from that I agree with Puzzled, talk of choc should never be allowed, unless you're giving any away!:p Good to see you're having fun and still learning new things on the OS board Our Elsie.

    Have a great week all, and keep filling them there pots!

    Sue. New friends wishing to join us, please just ask and I'll be with you ASAP.
