    Hi and a warm welcome to the thread brokemedic, 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!

    Hi all, a very busy weekend - and what some weather to add to the delights!:D

    Not to worry Helen, you've done so well anyway and at least you had the money there to fall back on, and your young lass was able to go. Start again and try to forget it for now, it's never worth doing any thing different anyway! A good idea not to count and get the surprise too.

    Ah Kerfuffle, glad you were happy to twin with my 20p, 'cause you won't be today...as I've had nowt!!! :o I hope you do better than to twin with that!

    Hi sparky good for you with your mum! I hope she has a really good time in Tenerife with her friends. For 3 weeks eh, I do envy her!

    Have a great day all, a good week too. If it's not a good one, then think of the fact that.....it might have been worse maybe?! :rolleyes: :confused:

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

    why thank you kindly, you've made me blush, just meeting and greeting til Sue-UU comes along. :D This is my scary meeting and greeting smile.

    Well done to everybody for putting something in their pots, I've actually managed 22cents roadkill.

    Hi FWJ,
    I put notes in, when I get a £10 lotto win that goes in, I wouldn't worry about it getting damaged, notes are quite tough :D
