    Sal, storage heaters are the work of the devil.

    I couldn't do a sealed tin, I've got several piggy banks and I have to count what's in them every week to watch the amount going up! I don't spend from them though.

    Lol - you need one of those money boxes that count the cash as you put it in like THIS one

    :rotfl: Ames I am the same... However I use a sealed pot yet keep a tally in my budget sheet :j

    Day off from work today but was promtly woken up by Mum shouting at the dog :rolleyes: I have a small list that I need complete but nothing too mad. Going to see if I can afford a retractable lead for the dog. I dont think his recall is any good and when he is up the fields he is forever pulling me over :mad: So this may be a solution?

    Oh and I won my first comp today, an instant win of Robbies new album :j

    Must get on, have a great day all :beer:

    Sally I would love to meet you and the lovely Bea. Perhaps next time I'm at Mum's (Basingstoke) I'll jump on a train and have a mini meet with you southern softies;)

    That would be lovely Luc, I used to work just outside of Basingstoke many years ago (chineham). We would love to meet you too. Im hoping that my new determined budgetting skills will help me have a few extra pennies to be able to go to more meets too :)
