    Morning everyone,
    Here's another little something to make you smile :D
    How marriage works
    All men should read this!!!
    A newlywed couple had only been married for two weeks. The husband, although very much in love, couldn't wait to go out on the town and party with his old buddies.

    So, he said to his new wife,

    'Honey, I'll be right back.'

    'Where are you going, honey bunch?'

    Asked the wife.

    'I'm going to the bar, pretty face. I'm going to have a beer.'

    The wife said,

    'You want a beer, my love?'
    She went and opened the door to the refrigerator and showed him 25 different kinds of beer brands from 12 different countries: Germany, Holland, Japan, India, England and America etc.

    The husband didn't know what to do, and the only thing that he could think of saying was,

    'Yes, lollypop...but at the bar...you know...they have frozen glasses...'

    He didn't get to finish the sentence, because the wife interrupted him by saying,
    'You want a frozen glass, puppy face?'

    She took a huge beer mug out of the freezer, so frozen that she was getting chills just holding it.

    The husband, looking a bit pale, said,

    'Yes, tootsie roll, but at the Bar they have those hors d'oeuvres that are really delicious... I won't be long, I'll be right back. I promise. OK?'

    You want hors d'oeuvres, poochi pooh?'

    She opened the oven and took out 5 dishes of different hors d'oeuvres: chicken wings, pigs in blankets, mushroom caps, pork strips, etc.

    'But my sweet honey... At the bar... You know...there's swearing, dirty words and all that...'

    'You want dirty words, !!!!!! head? Drink your f***ing beer in your Goddamn frozen mug and eat your f***ing snacks, because you are Married now, and you're not f***ing going anywhere! Got it, A***hole?'

    So he stayed home............
    ........and, they lived happily ever after.

    Any men reading take heed! ;)

  • I can see a £20 note sticking in the top of my jar. Shall I shove it through the hole? :rolleyes:
    I think I need to make a piggie so nobody can see the shinies and try to take them.

    Hi everyone! 5p for the pot today. On the plus side, I've barely spent anything lately (hence the lack of change!).

    Hi Everyone,

    OH and I got £45 from family members for our engagement. It's gone in the sealed pot. I had to start the new one as the notes would not fit in the current pot. I have also added all non £1 coins to my existing pot. Not much space in there now :D,

    Well done to everyone for doing so well.

No doubt that Reb's still searching for the cash she .....by-passedtother day!!! :eek: I mean as though ANY of us would do that - except REB!!!! :rolleyes: I reckon stunty's possibly guiding her and giving her a lesson in picking up roadkill!!Like sparky says, he's too busy practicing for married life, either that or he's gone off and got married leaving lot here with our hats!!! :eek:

    Of course you shove the £20 note through the hole CrunchyFrogSticks, after all it's half way there!:j Either that or....wrap it round the outside of the pot to solve the shinies being seen and taken!!! Problem solved see!! :rotfl:

    Morning everyone,
    You all seem to be doing great with your savings, I got a shiny £2 coin and also found another 4p road change, it's wet and miserable here today, so much for "flaming June".

    Have a great day, keep saving & keep safe
