  • Stunty, welcome back. Sorry to hear about your FIL. (((big hugs))) for you & Mrs S.

    Only had the odd bit of change out of my purse going in the pot this week. I don't seem to finding any road kill anymore:confused:. DS lost £5 running for the bus last week :mad: so someone will have had a nice suprise finding that.
    Back on MSE again! to take control of my finances and not let it control me. :T May grocery challenge £41.96/140

    Managed £1 for pot 3 last night, and the other 2 had to be content with 20p each. Focus888 my pot no. 3 is saving towards my family holiday next year, pot no. 2 is for charity and to be opened in December, and pot no. 1 is for a family 'treat' (we haven't allocated what yet) at Christmas.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

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

            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 :D.

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

            Alright Sparky, yeah, that rain was fun.... not! lol.
            Future Mrs S is coping. I think thats the only word really. She's knackered and a bit snappy when i tell her she needs to rest. But I'll be supportive as always.

            Hello All

            I've not been about for a long while, but am still saving my shrapnel:) I think my initial target was a teeny bit optimistic though:rotfl: I have nearly filled one pot, but I doubt I will end up with over £40-£50....

            Sue - Can I please change my target to £60 for the year please. Also I am not sure we will be going to Disney this Xmas because I had baby Kai in March, and he will be to small to go on anything so it will mean a lot of standing around and passing baby back and forth.....too much like a headache haha:p

            I will just put the money towards Xmas instead:D

            I am number 075:D:D

            Thank you
            Mel x
