    Hi Fishcakes, congratulations on the good news, I'm sure to say you are thrilled is an understatement, all good wishes to you and your family.:T

    Hi Sandy,

    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.

    No really, this guy even coerces 'smaller' people to work alongside him just so he doesn't have as far to bend down, no shame at all!:rotfl:

    And here's a random thought. Has anybody else realised the common nickname that LittleChicken and LuckyCharlie share. Chuck!!! No? Just me? I'll get my coat then.:p

    And just to stay on topic, 11cents in the pot for me today.:T

    Keep safe and warm.

    PS Sparky, I overshot the driveaway again, doh!:rolleyes:
  • I have only mustered up about 7p for the pot this week :(, but that is because I haven't spent anything :D except for a round of drinks in the pub last night. Sadly most of the change from that was non-potworthy but we all have a cross to bear. Looks like I will be lobbing £20 in tomorrow if I still haven't spent on food (except when I go to the pub tomorrow night, I don't think drinking on an empty stomach will be a good move :eek:)
    £34,547 (Dec 07); Current debt: £zilch (Debt free December 2010)
    Sealed Pot #389 (2010=£133)
  • Could I please join? I want to set myself a target of £200 please.

    I would have made him pick it up but then it would have gone straight in his pocket :rolleyes:
