    Can you cry under water?


    How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?


    Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?


    Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?


    Why does a round pizza come in a square box?


    What disease did cured ham actually have?


    How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?


    Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?



    Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?


    More to follow tomorrow, hope you enjoy them :D

    Hi all! Just come back from a trip to Sainsburys to stock up on books while they're still on offer, so £3 in nice shiny gold coins for the pot today.

    Edited to add: Just added a £5 note that I was owed to the pot. That will probably be it for the rest of the week as I'm not planning any more shopping trips!

  • Hello all!

    Hope you're all well! Haven't checked in for a while but have been popping a pound or two into my Terramundi pot whenever I can (has become automatic now) and keeping my eyes downcast on the street! Really hope when I crack open the pot in December I'll be pleasantly surprised!

    It's a person's soul that goes to Heaven...NOT the body, therefore no change of clothes needed!;)

    Good Heavens above Helen, sounds like a rip-off!! :eek: What isn't though. :confused:It does get quieter around now, but look out come October/November!

    Brilliant prices dippy!

    WOW Lost2! That IS saving!

    Good logic there jacki98, how about sticking to herd and flock for the cows or sheep! :rolleyes:

    Well done Twilightgirl, keep up the good work!

    WOW Jordan, you're going to have to hibernate!! All the best. x

    Lovely to see you Ruby, either way it'll be better than if you hadn't saved. Just think low!
    All the best for a great day everyone, keep your eyes on the floor, it's good enough for stunty...so!:D
