    nothing for me again today.
  • Haven't posted for a while but am continuing to put at least 1 £1 coin in the sealed tin each day and shrapnel in the jar. The tin is getting heavy and I'm fighting the temptation to open it. Savingmummy at least you didn't spend it.

    Ah chopsuey...not you as well with your PC going kaput!! We seem jinxed on here at the mo so watch out folks, don't say owt about YOURS going well whatever you do!!! :silenced:

    Right then Sam, no one told me anything BUT I do read the posts you know! No problems though, in fact one or two others do the same, it's not a "naughty step" offence so you're all right! :p


    Excellent news Jordan, that £50 cheque must've had you ecstatic!!:T

    BISCUITS rosepink!!! :eek:That money could've gone in the pot, especially if they were choccy ones!

    Good on you SarahN for having stern words with JaneL! :TShame on you JL, at times like that, you always treat as if twer a bomb, turn round and vacate the building!!! I hope the "Oooops" at the end of your post didn't indicate ..........it was too late! If so ...off you go to the naughty step.:naughty:

    It's been a hard life, all this exertion of the Olympics, but a good, if not guessable score of the Curling with our girls against the Russians tonight!!! I thought they were supposed to be great at all they do!! Hehe

    £5.53 in the pot for me today, would have been 53p, but ......hubby found a £5er just outside the CP yesterday!!! :j :kisses3:


    Have a great day all, and get well soon PAID.

    Hi all, I havent really been putting much in the pot as I have mostly been using my CC and then putting excess cash into virtual pot.
    Put £2.50 in there today but i doubt I will even get it all to £100 by the end of November!
