    Hello! I've been out to the shop today and have got £1.60 in change! Yay! THat will be going in our VW campervan money box. DH has also been contributing a lot of change in the last few weeks,so it's nice and heavy now!

    Hope you are all well, sorry I never get time to read this thread, I would really like to but there aren't enough hours to do everything!

    Hello everyone:j

    Firstly, thank you all so much for your words of support following our loss of DHs Uncle, you are all so kind x

    Stunty So sorry to hear about your sister, hoping things turn out ok for her.

    Reb Hope you are feeling much better soon.

    Sparky Thank you for your piece on 'The Last Post' So sad, but makes it so much more meaningful. DH had never heard it before either.

    A bit of a rubbish day today myself...the sort of wrong side out of bed day. I grabbed a few pennies that DH had left me on the table and popped them in piggy, but sorry, didn't really notice how much I was putting in. Think I was too intent on climbing into the loft to check out the resident bird that had woken me up during the night. I love the country but sometimes..... Hmm not to mention the sore throat that I mysteriously developed for a few hours and then went away and I won't dwell on the fact that I managed to catapult the cap off the bleach straight down the toilet or that it has taken me 3 attempts to write this post:mad:

    Hope everyone else is doing ok:)

  • Morning everyone. Reb I hope you're rib is feeling a bit better. I've only managed another 5p in the pot I'm afraid, but again its because I haven't spent any money except for my groceriy shop which was by card. That means I've had the same £20 in my purse for about 2 weeks now which is good.
    Back on the money saving wagon again!
  • 79p for me today! :j
    Made a special trip to the shop for an iced bun, on the way back from the docs! :p

    Hoping to have some nice change this weekend as going to see Jimmy Carr live tomorrow night and off to the cinema saturday. rare treat for me this, going out. :T

    Total so far: £67.16.

  • Hi all,
    As you might notice from my user namer I'm Stuntys sister. He ordered me to come over here and say hello and join the challenge.
    I probably will not be on here much at all, as I know this is his playground and I'll be on the bankruptcy board, but just thought I'd say hello!

  • Hi everyone,

    SoS welcome to the thread :beer: we're a friendly bunch (except the naughty ones who are put on the naughty step ;))

    Elizabunny so sorry for you're loss :( (and sorry it's belated)*HUGS*

    I have quite a bit of change in my purse, so seeing what i can spare for the holiday fund pot. My OH now owes me £80 :eek: when i get it, into the pot it goes :)

    Sent off OH's phone last week, should get about £42.00 for so when that arrives it will go into the pot :o

    As you can tell pot has lots of "IOU's" :rotfl:

    I am only me, no pretences, no second guesses.. It's the best I can do, I'm sorry if that's not good enough for you... I'm sorry I'm not good enough for you :A

    Withdrew £70.00 from Takeabreak's free bingo and £50.00 from Gala's free bingo and Mecca gave me a £5 birthday bonus cos it's my birthday today that I played double bonus roulette with and luckily managed to get up to £10 so took that out, when they hit my bank account they will be withdrawn and put into the pot:D

    I don't advocate gambling, only free gambling:D
