    Sparky.

    Can you keep a secret?.. Shh....I had to open my pot last week to lend DS some money for an emergency. He borrowed £200, which I easily had in my pot. He has promised to pay me back, but I had to ditch the Sponge Bob tin after opening it. I've now got a Dora the Explorer tin. Do you think I am too old for that at 57?:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning loopychris
    Get yourself to Superdrug, they've got an offer on stamps I think it's 5% off a book of stamps, but when the prices go up you don't have to pay the extra as the stamps ahve 1st & 2nd on them but no price :D

    Or sign up for the royal mail survey (there's a thread knocking around somewhere):beer:

    Oh dear Elsie
    At least you had the money available to lend your DS, I think we can overlook this only this time for you, so you won't have to go on the naughty seat :D. BTW you're never too old ;) and it doesn't matter what you save your cash in, as long as you save it hun :D x
