    stunty has secretly opened his pot to count and is too embaressed to tell us lol. or maybe he is just off getting married anyone remember if he told us a date...

    :eek: Stunty is getting married? I never have enough time in the day to keep up with all the threads and my pot isn't filling very quickly as I never have any cash that I'm able to get any spare change but, Stunty's getting married?????? :eek: What's Sgt Save got to say to that? he'll be gutted.:rotfl:

    Please accept my congratulations, condolences, sympathies as appropriate and I apologise for not keeping up here.

    Afternoon all - Is it too late to join the challenge? only 6 months of the year left but I'm wanting to have one of my credit cards paid off by Xmas so I was planning on having a sealed pot to cover the (hopefully) last payment?

    Let me know if I can have a number!
    Thanks

    Welcome aboard lifeback, Sueuu will be around later to issue you your number.

    Jess I'm sure it went just fine today and you'll be back hunting down roadkill very soon.

    Off out to do a MS this afternoon, hopefully will gain me some road kill, am making an extra effort to top up my bottle this week due to the holiday next week.

    I'm back from my holidays, completely broke! I was very good and we self catered as much as we could and didn't splurge on anything at all, but still broke on our return and I am blaming the petrol costs for that! Anyway we had budgeted for our food spend and I managed to bring back £20, even though I could do with it to make the next couple of weeks easier I put it straight inot pot no.3 as I hadn't planned to have it anyway, so it wont be missed! (and we can live on soup and beans I'm sure). Pot no. 2 got the silver so 40p there and pot no. 1 was very lucky to get the solitary £2 coin I had in my purse.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.

            :oI had it done , i was offered sedation and gas and air but i was good and tolerated the pain through gritted teeth and squeezing the lovely nurses hand! They think it looks pretty normal , they did do a biopsy though just to be on the safe side , it was very uncomfterble and very embaressing but i suppose it could of been worse.

            £1.50 went into the pot today! Cha Ching! x
