  • Keep adding to the pot, but have mainly just updated my sig.

    The total's creeping up slowly - was pleased to have £7.21 left over at the end of my August Grocery Challenge, and that of course went in. I think I probably got just as much joy out of that as I would have done I'd bought myself a treat! (What a sad woman!!)

    Aquired a whole 20p at work tonight, customer left his change on the bar, sadly late night visits to Tesco mean there is no change around the machine, but does mean I can spend 20p on a big pack of stirfry veg for dinner. I put the £1.20 difference between what I was planning to pay and what I did pay in to the bottle when I got home.

  • Morning peeps! I'm still saving - although that seems to be mostly because I'm spending so much! Eeeeeek! I really must stop:o

    Congrats on the job Scuba - hope it's going well:A

    I've seen the most gigantic piggy wig in china town. I so gotta get me one. He's about 3 ft long:eek: I'm waiting 'till I can get some cash though and do a bit of bartering.;)

    I'm doing a sponsored run tomorrow - maybe I'll find some roadkill then. I did pick up 20p yesterday.:T
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    Hello LC
    Good luck on the sponsored run tomorrow, we're having a scooter run to New Brighton tomorrow, starting off from the retail park in Speke again. About the 20p road kill, I think it was mine :D

    Hello dbushes
    Put the pot down and step back :). At least you've re-sealed the pot :T seriously though, it's there for saving but also for emergencies, so no harm done :D
