    Morning everyone, (my pound sign isn't working!).

    Hi Sparky,

    so you've got your lappy back but your 'pound' sign isn't working? Have you checked to see if it's hidden under an upper shift different key.? A couple of my keys aren't where they're supposed to be.

    Toodles.

    I had to empty my tin to-day, £7 in copper :D

    Well done Lost2,

    Seven pounds in copper is a *LOT* of copper, your tin must have weighed tonnes, well done, and just think, other people throw coppers away :eek:.

    :hello: everyone

    wrinkled english rose says hello to everyone
    she and dad have been away
    (dont tell anyone) :whistle::silenced::silenced::silenced::whistle: but she is 60
    later this month and its they're 40th wedding anniversary

    she thought it would be a good idea
    for me to empty my tin and get it in the bank
    to try to earn some interest
    £1150 was in it
    i was well chuffed

    still have my sealed bottle that all wee coins go in

    so am not really cheating

    keep saving

    kas xx

    Hiya kas,
    Wow well done you, I know the circumstances were a bit hard but it looks like you're making the most of it hun, that's a fantastic figure. Did you read my post about doing a total of all the sealed pots? Keep a running figure so I can add that to the grand total of all the sealed pots for 2009.

    Hi there everyone,
    Going on a cruise for 9 days and visiting New York in July 2010 so i want as much money as possible i not sure if i will get my target but i will give it a good go :D :rotfl:
    My pots are extremely heavy so me thinks i will count it and put it into an isa or something :D
    JS

    Hi JordanShannon,

    Well done of achieving 'extremely heavy' pots, I think somewhere with interest would be the best place for them, let us know how much you've managed to save hey? and I'm sooooooo envious of your holiday next year, a cruise AND New York, it will be fantastic, are you hoping to do all the mega shopping spree stuff?

    Lol, there's me trying to offer the most simple, basic solutions and you know exactly what you're doing, you lost me at the word 'create' lol.

    Have a good one, I'm sure you'll get yourself sorted out.

    Hi everyone,

    So.........I've had another brainwave!

    (*everybody runs away and cowers in the corner*)

    As I still don't seem to be managing to put anything into my pot, but do appreciate it that every little helps, I thought that I would adopt a 'Twinnie' for the day. In that I would match whoever puts the SMALLEST amount into their tin, there's no way I can match some of the larger amounts so this is a realistic goal.

    So for yesterday (Friday) Greenbynature was my Twinnie in that I've put 40cents into the pot and today (Saturday) Elsie is my Twinnie so I've put 30cents into my pot. Be gentle with me folks.

    Toodles.
