    Evening everybody
    Just to keep you all up to speed. We have 70 days (10 weeks today!) to the grand opening, can you all please make sure your number is in your signature, and on opening day if you can pop your totals into your siggy too, that will make mine & mini me's life easier when populating the spreadsheet for the grand total. I now have 2 official titles, total counter upperrer (if there is such a word!) and opening day count downerrer (again ditto!)

    On a serious matter though 8p road change, £1.36 into the sealed pot and I'm about to raid DW's handbag for change, because the silly girl told me she had 20p's in there.

    Hoping to get some £2 coins from the pools man in work in the morning. He's fed up with me rugby tackling him for them now, so he waits to hand them over to me.

    Enjoy your evening folks

    Road kill is any money we find on the street or similar places where it's been cruelly abandoned by former owners. :D

    For me slowly but surely...
    SUE_UU as was a later joiner I was thinking of not opening my box for Xmas but for easter as am hoping to take the kids on holiday.

    You do it the way you wish 133na. You're not the only one and in any case, it's far better to have the cash for when YOU want it!! ;) Don't worry about moving along slowly with your saings either, the main thing is that you're saving! :)

    Sorry to hear you've got a cold LC, get well soon and keep warm.

    I checked the calendar earlier today sparky and was quite shocked to see we're that advanced, where's the year going to?! :eek:
