    Morning Marg,
    The sealed pot challenge will be going on for a long while, because it helps so many people save, it would be a crime to not carry on, I'm sure that when Sue returns from her hols, she will tell everyone, were carrying on with this. :D

    Don't forget to put your total saved into a post on the 1st of December, so we can add it to the total saved by everyone in the challenge. (I'm the official counter upperrer :D)

  • :hello: Hi Everyone
    Its a beautiful morning here hope to get in the garden later as still a few bits to clear up. Still eating tomatoes out of greenhouse !!!!
    Glad you had a great holiday Sue You deserve a rest . I love Scotland. So far never had bad weather there either we must be lucky Sue.

    Sparky did you hear on the radio Spar are going to put the description of their wines in Scouse dialect for us. I can just imagine it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Well I've been saving hard was going to open my pot to buy Christmas presents early but so far I'm managing so hopefully will open in 34 days.

    Have been stocking up on money bags but think I will get a few more just in case there is more than I think. This months pot is really heavy.

    Catch up with everyone later keep safe and well x LC2

    Hiya LC

    Sparky did you hear on the radio Spar are going to put the description of their wines in Scouse dialect for us. I can just imagine it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    It'll probably go something like this :-
    "Yous'll love dis wine it's dead fruity, and dead easy to drink" :rotfl::rotfl:

    Or

    "Get ya laughin' gear round this one, it's dead good" :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a great day everyone else! :D
