    Morning Stunty
    I take it the monkey suit is a Tuxedo? Are you allowed to wear shorts with it on the beach during the ceremony? :D Also it's a good job your not getting married in Antarctica or you'd look like an Emporer Penguin :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Yup. I'm going to look like a bouncer in it! lol. I was angling for a tux with shorts, but Future Mrs S said no. And her word is law. lol.

    This challenge has turned me into a monster, I spotted 10p on the ground this morning and nearly knocked my son over trying to get it. It was frozen to the pavement but I couldn't leave it.:o:rotfl:

    Only managed about about £1 so far this week but off to the post office in a bit so hopefully should have some change :T

    It does that to you Sandy. It's my third year in the challenge (I'm challenge member 2.... lol) I use my multitool to 'assist' frozen road change into my pocket. I have no shame. lol.

    Hi! Could you please sign me up :)
    I'm new but embarrassingly tried to sign up for the site only realising I had done it a year and a half ago. :rolleyes: woops! So this is my first post :j
    I've already started my money saving and have one of those big whisky jar's for my pennies. (shrapnel not pounds) the idea is that even though it has an open top.... I will try and fill it so it becomes harder for me to tip it up to get anything out of :T !
    Current balance, as I already had some in but I think before now it has only been collecting dust *ahem* :rotfl:, £30.26. Aiming for £60 over 2010.
    I went routing through all my drawers and boxes in my room once i'd first read this thread in order to find any change I could. (My biggest find a few years ago was £50 under my bed from christmas! I've kept my an eye on where the money has been going since - so didn't think I would be that lucky again!) I found £4.60 so that has been added.
    I will only be adding change once I've spent it on something I *need*

    Thanks,
    CS229 x

    Hi everyone just 50p today but all adds up in the long run. I had the best news today would like to share it with you all. Had a biopsy Dec 22nd checking for cancer and i was given the all clear today. I wanted to run around work hugging everyone but couldnt really. We decided not to tell the kids so they wouldnt worry and we have also decided they will never know. so sending everyone gigantic hugs.xx:j
