    Hi and a warm welcome to the thread leanne82duke, good to meet you. Enjoy yourself here while you enjoy putting the fun into saving. :D You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. It's a good idea to put it on your signature and certainly helps me to help you at the end of the year. If you haven't already done so then read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries. Any other queries, just ask away!

    Kerfuffle glad you had a look at the pots made by folk here. It would be a good idea with a bear, make it strong and at the end of the year use a knife to help in sliding the money out. That way you might get away with not having to mess it up.

    Sorry to hear about your poor dog sparky, I didn't know they could be allergic to them. Take note of the Cod Liver Oil, it's good for me as I'm allergic to the darn things too! You may well be right about the 800 as we're now on 743!!! :eek: I find it hard to believe at times, great though!

    niklepic, well done to your hubby for quitting smoking!!! That takes a lot of determination so give him plenty of TLC! :T
    stacy it's nice to see you back again, thouth it sounds as though you need superglue on your pot!! :rolleyes:

    23p in the pot of me for me.

    Have a great week all, keep your eyes on the roads!

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

    Hi everyone,

    I hope you are having a great weekend.

    Leanne82duke, welcome aboard, if you've read the thread you will notice that we all have our own methods of collecting extra dosh. Some hang around random washing machines, some go incognita under the guise of taking a dog for a walk, some rifle through partners trouser pockets (sometimes whilst still being worn), and some have been known to follow people collecting money for charity and somehow acquiring the contents therein! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Whatever your chosen method, enjoy yourself and tell us all about it :j

    Stacey, welcome back and good vibes being sent your way to fill your pot quickly.

    Have a good one.

    Sue, I might try the cod liver oil for myself, it might control my allergy, I will ask the vet though (for the dog, not me :rotfl:)

    Very proud of him - although unfortunately he now thinks that as he's not spending money on cigs it means he can have x-box games whenver he wants them lol.
