    Well done on the saving:D it 73p more than i put in today although i am on IOU from my chosen twinnies.:D
    Road kill is any money you find anywhere outside (ie dropped change) and Twinnies are people you chose to match the amount put into your pots.
    So if you chose me as a twinnie and i put in 50p you would then match me and put 50p into your pot
    Not sure if that makes sense but that's the way i do it:rotfl::D

    Hello!

    Hangs head in shame as its been ages since I popped on here. Unfortunately Ive had to open my tin as our boiler broke and we needed to find £1200 to buy a new one so every piggy bank got raided including the sealed pot.:(

    But there was £176.30 in there which was brilliant.

    Good luck with your pots everyone x x

    Get your chin up Pips Mum. No need to worry about having to use your sealed pot.

    Hiya Pips Mum, I couldn't have put it better myself and Stunty's absolutely right, carry on from here, it's surprising what you'll still be able to save. Go on, give it a go!

    What a day eh Stunty!!! A terrific time for England and all the lads...and the Ashes are ours once more!!!! :T:T:T:T

    Can't stop folks, but great saving by all.

    Have a great week everyone....but get ready with the brollies!

    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

    Hi Sue-UU, don't worry about not understanding it, I'm not sure I do either but JordonShannon seems to know what she's doing so I'll copy her :rotfl:.

    Hope you had a great weekend.

    Toodles.
