  • evening all,

    I hate this hot weather i tell you! its awful being this big when its hot! I'm closer to the sun. Still, shift finished, beer in hand, Ausies being bashed. Lovely. I DID invest in a Tesco's value fan on the way home from work, and after some swearing it's now working lovely.

    Some shrapnel in the jar today and some roadkill found round Goodison.

    sparky - have you checked your keuboard is set up for the UK after your lappy's been repaired??? It may be the problem.

    Hello everyone

    Kerfuffle - Thanks for the message, PAD is gone to a certain degree cos of the DMP we've had to do now, how I wish I'd found this site about 2 years ago, all my problems would be half what they are now but there, we live and learn. I think the Twinnie idea is a fab one, WTG, and every little bit helps, WELL DONE.
    Gettingbetter - oh well done on that amount, keep it up so we can all be part of your good fortune.

    Sealed pot amount is £2.38

    Have a nice evening everyone - don't drink too much vino lol

    Had a sort out of my wardrobe and found yet another small money box which contained some random change, so as always I have added it to my bottle, starting to look very pleasingly full. Although I doubt I'll fill it before December its good fun trying!

    I used to collect piggy banks in all shapes and sizes, thanks to my habit of moving regularly when I was a student I tended to bring things home and never take them to my new flat/house/accomodation so theres allsorts in the backs of cupboards yet to be discovered. Mostly just wanting ditching mind you.

    Hey scubaangel,

    How lucky are you?

    I love it when this happens, when I was younger it used to be sweets but now it's pretty exciting when you find money. Although whenever I find a 'hidden' bar of chocolate that can cause quite a stir too, there's always excitement for chocolate :rotfl:

    Toodles.

    Hi sparky, not sure if your lappy is fixed or not now! Just sent the PM thinking all was well, then read Kerfuffle's post to you....not so sure now??!:rolleyes:

    Good for you with such a lovely man in your life Puzzled, you're doing well all round!

    Hi Kas and many congratulations to your Mum (WER) for her forthcoming Birthday:T, and to both your Mum and Dad when their 40th Anniversary comes up:love: :T. I hope both occasions will be memorable and they both enjoy their days. What a fantastic amount you've saved so far Kas, you're doing brilliantly!!! :j I'm sure your Mum's right about putting it all in the bank or BS perhaps.

    I think I can understand your Twinnie's Kerfuffle, though it's been a long day so, we'll soon see and you can soon tell me if I'm not getting it right.:undecided

    I haven't been hot all day Stunty, but as you say....taller etc! Isn't it terrific about the cricket, at last they're playing with passion!!! :dance:

    Lovely to see you again Our Elsie! Well done with the 15p too, more than I managed.:o

    My DH found a dirty 20p in a timber store yesterday, I soon cleaned it off and potted it, so to speak!

    Well done Helen and starnac, great amounts! :T

    Have a great Sunday folks, keep hunting for the lolly!

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