    Had a bit of sad news this week, we lost a member of the scooter club this week to cancer, he was a real gent and only 48 years old. He was only diagnosed in October last year, it's a real shame. Make's you realise life's for living doesn't it. Sorry for being morbid everyone
    Sorry to hear about your scooter club member Sparky. Hope u are gettin on ok. It does bring to the forefront of your mind a sense of your own mortality, but you know wot they say life is for living so u go Sparky.x.x.x

    Thanks GBN & fishcakes
    The funeral is this friday and he's getting a scooter escort for his last journey (your end of the city fishcakes), should be quite a few of us to say farewell to him

    Hi Em
    A lot of people on here have advice about terramundi's, if you use a knife in the slot you can get your money out without smashing it (and wasting £20 replacing it!). Some people keep track of what's in their pots and some wait for the surprise at the end of the year, it's entirely up to you hun :D

    Thank you very much sparky0107, I reckon by the end of the year it might be half of the fun pulling the money out without ruining the pot. Notes might make it a bit difficult (in my enthusiasm and recently paid status I've put a few notes in there to keep the change company!:p) Thanks for the advice... New to MSE and already loving the friendliness :beer:

    Hi,

    Not keeping tabs on what's going in the tin. There's a bit of change in already. Will hopefully be good to have a surprise for xmas. DS #2 came home with £20 last night, a deposit for leavers day limo from his friend ( I'd forgotten all about it!), so that's going straight in.

    Have a good day everyone.
