    Sue - Would also love to see pic of your new member of the family.

    Sparky - Sorry to hear of your nightmare journey home.

    Flippin heck mcjordi! :eek: Now we all know I'm bright.... :idea: ...but I ain't that bright that I can work out that iirc = if I remember correctly. No wonder I'm having problems working out which one you are. I would ask you what mcjordi stands for but that just might be filthy :shhh: ...so please don't tell us!!! :silenced:

    Hiya sparky, that sounded like good day out, though a really close call on the way back!!! :eek: Thank Heavens he didn't achieve what he seemed intent on! I hope you soon get the engine fixed.

    Kerry, £5.45 was exactly the same amount in the pot as me after shopping today! :)

    Well done aussiemum, you're well on your way! :T

    Keep searching sh1305, you too as ever dippy! ;)

    Where's LC tonight??? Anyway, I think the way to get a photo on here is by the "Insert Image" (yellow lanscape piccy) above the text area when replying to posts, but I don't know what to put in the bar in order to get a shot from my photo collection. I'll contact one of my pals and get his advice - if he knows! I'm determined to show her off, you with yurs too sparky! I look forward to both.

    Night all, have a good day tomorrow (make that today!)

  • Not much for the pot yesterday, just 21p that I found in the windowsill, but better than nothing I guess! At least it means I haven't been spending, hence why I have no change! LOL! Double edged sword and all that....

    sue.... putting a photo up here is hard work I think, To put it as ur profile pic u have resize it to the size of a pin head!! If you right click on file, open with 'microsoft photo manager' and resize to 60x60 pixels. Other than that you can put it on photobucket and then copy n paste into ur comment. :(

    I have a truprint account where I save all my fave pics and make personalised calenders for xmas (when I see offers!!!) They are great presents and if my laptop ever went down then they are here. I would be a good rep for truprint haha. hmmm here is my attempt


    Shes got a massive personality and now goes in 'moods' with me when I dont give her what im eating or make her get herself


    Ive put £2 in from saturday night. My boyfriend came in after his night out and his change sprawled across the floor and he fell asleep. So I cahrged him a £1 for clearning it up and I put a pound in from my purse.

    Im dying to open it is anyone else. Im not going to but I keep looking through the gap and guessing how much is there! :)

    Ah...I see what you mean about the jordi bit at least, hadn't even looked to see where you came from....should've done though as they're all a bit doolally oop ther!!! :rotfl: The Mc part, now I could say something about mc and stick a u in the middle and..... NO! I'm controlling myself - just!!! ;)

    Ahhhhh Applecider, she's just sooo very beautiful!!! A lovely shot in the basket and seeing her with that baseball bat...is she in training for something we didn't ought to ask about!! :eek: I love your garden...or is it the park!!! :D So, AC, how did you do it, straight from your TP account or..? I know what you mean about a profile shot (I've got a butterfly on mine) but popping her on there would be like a pin head for sure. BTW, I love what you did to your BF, great thinking! :D

    Afternoon sparky, I don't know about folk not seeing you if you're on 2 wheels, I'm sure it's more a case of them thinking "he's only small (no inference to your size!), I can easily get passed him!" No darn patience at all. BTW. tis one thing for us gals to relieve our menfolk of cash that weighs em down, but YOU taking it off your DW is appalling!!!!! :eek: Not a good example sparks!!! ;)

    SG, you're in the same position as me so at least we're not lonely, loads of others like us too I'll bet. :)

  • Sue That isnt her it just looks like her i found them on the internet as I couldnt for the life of me get her pics on there! I wish that was my garden!!! Two words - Council estate - bad news backgardens!!! I love it here but wish I had a garden!! bEST WAY to get a pic on here is upload it to a photo holding site like photo bucket.

    Sparky hope ur overtime goes quick theres nothing quite like overtime on ur payslip at the end of month/week. I used to love it so much better than a normal one.

    Not much in the pot today jus a handful of coppers n 5ps in my purse. but... pennies make pounds,,, pounds make a nice shiny car for me :)

    Silly question really - but what do you do at the end of the year with a huge pot of random coins? Isn't sorting it a nightmare? And will the bank take it off your hands no probs? Or do you stuff it into one of those supermarket change machines?
