Hi everyone.:wave:

Hope you have all had a good day. I have done very little today, a bit of baking, ironing, reading and a little bit of food shopping. :cool: Just decided yesterday to open another pot for next year's holiday and I have decided to save £2 coins......guess what I got in my change today, 3 of' 'em !!!!! :eek: so that's £6 into the holiday fund. Another 9p into sealed pot. I'll need a second job at this rate just to feed my potties.:rotfl: :rotfl:

Morning Everyone,
Some thopughts to make you smile this morning:-

Zen Teachings
1.
Do not walk behind me, for I may not lead. Do not walk ahead of me, for I may not follow. Do not walk beside me for the path is narrow. In fact, just s*d off and leave me alone.

2.
Sex is like air. It's not that important unless you aren't getting any.

3.
No one is listening until you fart.

4.
Always remember you're unique. Just like everyone else.

5.
Never test the depth of the water with both feet.

6.
If you think nobody cares whether you're alive or dead, try missing a couple of mortgage payments.

7.
Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

8.
If at first you don't succeed, skydiving is not for you.

9.
Give a man a fish and he will eat for a day. Teach him how to fish, and he will sit in a boat and drink beer all day.

10.
If you lend someone £ 20 and never see that person again, it was probably well worth it.

11.
If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything.

12.
Some days you are the bug; some days you are the wind screen.

13.
Don't worry; it only seems kinky the first time.

14.
Good judgment comes from bad experience ... and most of that comes from bad judgment.

15.
A closed mouth gathers no foot.

16.
There are two excellent theories for arguing with women. Neither one works.

17.
Generally speaking, you aren't learning much when your lips are moving.

18.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

19.
We are born naked, wet and hungry, and get slapped on our !!! ... then things just keep getting worse.

20.
Never, under any circumstances, take a sleeping pill and a laxative on the same night.

Enjoy your day everyone

Love that post Sparky! :beer:

How's the saving going everyone? I've been quite good, saving away even though real life dragged me away from my internet life for a while. Don't you hate when that happens!

Most of the cash has gone into my loan pot but piggy has got a little bit fatter with about €3.50 gone in since I last posted.

Have a nice Monday!

Hi Sparky. I'm fine thanks. Uni is over now until September :j. How are you? I couldn't believe when I found that £10, my guardian angel must be looking out for me today :A one thing I do know it made me more enthusiastic about de-junking my room just in case I found more . what has happened to Stunty? not seen him on here for a while .

Hi all,

Can I please be added to this group? I have finally sorted out my pennies t'other day (came to £143 ) and that's now in the ISA so wanted a fresh challenge.

Couple of t-shirts i recently bought from UNIQLO came in decent-sized tubes so now have separate pots for silvers and coppers (just gotta buy some superglue to ensure these are shut tight). Nuggets will remain in my VW Campervan-shaped ceramic pot.

I'm gonna aim high and see if I can reach £350 by xmas this year (already have around £40 (£30 in pound coins) i think). Wish me luck.
