    Hi everyone,

    I got some really good news yesterday, both me and OH have got jobs:j:j I start on 2nd November, OH starts next week!!!!
    I'm so excited i will actually be able to pay my mum decent money, this way she won't have to worry about Christmas. I won't have to take out a loan for a car or my holiday, i will be able to pay for everything:j:j
    And I will be able to save the money i need for my holiday!!

    Sorry i'm so excited, I've never had a "proper" job before..

    Anyhoo I have vowed to put £100 before we open our pots :D

    More bits going in the pot but I can't pay back the £55 I had to take out for the Brownie trip so I'm adjusting my total I want to £70 - anywhere near that and I'll be a very happy bunny

    Sparky - you're doing a grand job

    :hello:Hi Everyone,
    Have the day off and very little to do think I will just have a lazy day so doubt I will have any money to put in the pot today.

    How long have we got left Sparky ?

    Can't wait to count it all.
