  • Hi Everyone

    Put some loose change in my pot. Not much but it all adds up

    Took the LO's to the park as it was such a nice day thinking of going beach tomorrow but not to sun bathe!!!!!


    Hi Jack

    Glad you are feeling better now. Well done on your savings too.

    Sparky

    Glad you are back safe and sound. Sounds like you had a great time. Don't worry I never found any road kill so it's still there for you!! Hope Stunty is OK Married life must be keeping him busy either that or he is doing overtime to pay for the wedding:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi Sue

    Just thought if I asked for his number he would come on just to shout at me. :rotfl:

    Just put £12.32 in the pot. I bought one of those coin counter jars as I hated not being able to see and count how much money I had saved!!!

    Have not been here in ages, but seeing as more money is going in the pot these days, I thought now would be the best time to update.

    Also put winning scratch cards in my jar! £14 so far lol! (Only 4 cards in there though) I also put £5 notes in (If I can afford to anyway!!!)

    Just checked my jar and it tells me there's £261.47 in there now. I know a few coins haven't clocked up so expecting a few pounds more to be in there when it comes to counting it all up!

    Well done to everyone so far..... Keep it up!
    :o

    I'M BACK!

    Hello everyone, DW and I had a fantastic time in NY, we done so many amazing things and seemed to walk forever, just didn't want it to end. Totally shattered at the mo. jet lagged but sooooo very worth it. Just caught up with the posts I've missed and want to say belated Happy Birthdays to our newbies & Sue's DH. I see there's still no sign of the big fella

    Hi there sparky and lovely to see you back home! :D It was so good to see you've both had such an amazing time again and thoroughly enjoyed yourselves. :j Thanks for DH's Birthday wishes. No, sadly still no sign of him, might drop him a line later today to see if all's well. I hope his F-I-L is ok though!

    I see your point LC 2, a shame it didn't pull him out of the woodwork. Ah...he'll be back, he's probably keeping a watchful eye on us. His DW's on here too.

    Thanks skilly, sound like it's one HUGE money holder!

    At last you're back with us all jacki!! So sorry to hear of the panic attacks, though it makes sense with all you said now. Horrible things, I'm really pleased things are better for you now. Very well done on having saved £135.26!!! :T Could you please pop it on your siggy for spary to add to his spreadsheet? Thanks.

    mummytummy, you just keep on walking your dog and keeping your pot out of sight! As we always say to folk such as you :p treat it as an unexploded BOMB and DON'T TOUCH!!!! :mad: ;)

    Good to see you back jadiep and good to see what you've saved so far. Keep hard at it as it won't be long!

    A FIVER in the pot for me!

    Keep safe and healthy everyone.

    Sue x Don't forget, anyone still wanting to join us, you're welcome. :)
