Been out today with DD2 - she bought us lunch, I paid for car parking and afternoon cuppa. Good time had by all, wandered around the shops a bit but no money was spent apart from aforementioned, and ended up with change in my purse - £2.20, which is now in the sealed pot!Keeping two cats and myself on a small budget, and enjoying life while we're at it!0

Morning Kerry Woman
Can't wait to get back to New York, DW and I fell in love with the place last time we were there, we'd both move there tomorrow given the chance
. Also any road change I find while there goes into the charity bottles for the homeless :Aluckycharlie wrote: »Hi Sparky,
You have to admit it looks suspicious. There again perhaps he has got married without telling us. He might not have wanted a MSE guard of honour.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Morning LC2
I don't think the big fella would do that to us, we're like family to him! (then again if any of his family are like some of mine....... :eek:! Maybe he wouldn't want us there :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:)
XLC2I'm bored today and have an overwhelming urge to count my bottle :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Right melvis

Hi folks,
Well done with the savings, keep on at it as the time (sadly) will soon pass.
Lovely to see you again elliemoo, don't forget us! Well done of keeping the savings up.
It's good to hear it's safely in the bank HowlinWolf, well done, a good amount too!
Unless you live in Liverpool Queenriderbrekke, you never get too much. For some reason it's only those there that have folk flinging money around. Just had a thought, I reckon they must see them on their knees searching it out amongst every bit of grit and feel sorry for them! :rotfl: We have at least 3 poolers here by the way!
A good day from the sounds of it Winchelsea, and barely any cost, well done both of you.
£1. 85 from my DH yesterday, bless his heart. :kisses3: He knows it saves me robbing him that way!
Have a good Wednesday all.

Morning Sue
I had to go to B&Q last night to buy some new knee pads, well at my age you need them :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. It's the school kids who throw their change away by where I live, apparently they don't like coinage in their pockets Sparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002.
