Many apologies, not been here for AGES!
Am still filling my pot.
Also since last here have filled last bedroom with child 3, Baby Oliver born on April 16th! He is quite lovely & the other 2 adore him!
I use cash as I forget if I use mt debit card so I get quite a bit in my pot. £2 coins are on the decline though aren't they!!!
I am saving for a Wii & accessories for the eldest 2 to share for christmas.

Hiya Lisa,
Congratulations on Baby Oliver. Now we know why you've been away for so long :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. Good to see you're OK and the family are also in fine fettle

Paid in over £6 in £2 coins and other shrapnel. I'm struggling to push coins into the tin. It's so heavy, I can't even move it!

I may have to unseal it when I receive my tax bill :rolleyes:. I can't afford to pay for it when it arrives. I want to focus my salary on my debt.

I went out for a meal with a friend but left my purse at home - I was supposed to treat her. I felt so stupid.

There's been some happy and sad news on the pages recently. Hugs to you all.

I found a purse full of 2p coins and another full of 1p coins! Forgot I'd collected them last year so put them in my pot and it really made a difference!

Congratulations on your £5 win Sams!

Hi Lisa and many congratulations on your 3rd little one! I love the name Oliver, ideal for any age. As soon as I read your post I remembered straight away that you'd been expecting all that time ago, but have to confess to having forgotten! I'm so pleased that all obviously went well for you both. Visit us more often Lisa, it's always good to catch up with faces from the past!

22p in the pot, not much but better than nowt! Have a good day all.

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

Hi Sue-UU

Please can I have a number? Less than 6 months 'til the opening day but I'm sure I can save something!

Hey all,

I'm another one returning to the fold.

Last year I was too impatient and used my 'sealed' pot money to pay debts everytime there was about £7 in.:o

I'm only saving 1,2 and 5p's as my budget is really, really tight. This year I'm trying to resist the urge to use my pot money before opening day. Again, I have about £8 in total and just wanting to use it on the debt. I know it won't make much difference, but it feels nice to pay even that little bit extra.

Morning stunty,
Sorry for the late reply, I got caught up in work :rolleyes: last night. The rain certainly came down, you could hardly see a hand behind your back :rotfl::rotfl:

The poor sealed pot has been neglected over the last few days, so I've just dropped a £10 note in there, to bump up the total .

Catch up with you later mate, how's the future Mrs S coping?
