    Morning all,:hello:

    Sorry i am unable to thank people, but everytime i click the thanks button it comes up 'remove thanks' :huh: !!! So BIG THANKS to all!

    Still putting my £2 everyday in the pot and it is getting very heavy,hooray! I'm afraid that i may have to open it as the washing machine has started depositing streaks of black oil on the washing :mad:
    However, i would be very worried if i didn' t have the savings tin to fall back on in an emergency! Here's hoping !!

    caz

    Hi Grandmasam,

    The 'remove Thanks' is an option, not a command. You don't have to click on the 'Remove Thanks' button. If you don't click it then the person has been Thanked.

    So Thank away, lol.:rotfl:

    Toodles.

Please read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please kindly put your number on your sig, it helps so very much

    It's confusing Caz, not you at all with the "Thanks" business, tis them as likes to baffle us! ;) I don't know about anyone else but I thin there should be a "Praise" button, as half the time it's that which we're giving out more than "Thanks".

    All the best with your Vet bill GBN, they're about the most frightening ones possible!
    My DH is simply the best (sorry sparky, it's not you! :p), :kisses2: , another £3.21 in the pot today, he's a star"!!!

    Well Done mummyslittleboy :T:T

    everyone's doing so well :D

    May already, where's this year going? Don't feel I've put much in the bottle recently, I save all 1p, 2p & 5ps so maybe I just haven't had many? But the 3 litre bottle is definitely over a litre full :D xx
