    I used fifty pounds to buy Christmas presents on Saturday Do you want me to add it to my sig. I already have £20 on there so shall I make it £70.? and will you know what I'm doing? Or shall I just add it to my total? Oh! I am confused!!!! Bet you are now!!!

    Hi LC 2, as sparky hasn't answered yet, and as you sound in a bit of a quandry, I'll answer your query, though sparky'll possibly put his secretarial flare to it later.:happylove

    Just pop it on your sig LC 2, that'll be fine and will save you maybe forgetting to add it on later.

    You paint a beautiful picture sitting watching Mickey Mouse with your little treasure, keep at it, it's good for you and her/him. :A

    Ahhh, I thought she'd soon be cottoning on sparky. Get her to give you a good rubbing with some sort of oil, it works a treat....for the CALVES...I meant!!! :eek:

    Don't be worrying Willow, and you're not to think thoughts about failing! No one, no matter how much they save, fails on here. Read what I've written above to dippy yesterday. It's all about what we ourselves are saving, so don't look at the amounts other folk are putting in...it doesn't count for you. You save what you can afford and possibly next year you'll be able to save more - BUT - if you can't then it doesn't matter at all. You've not been with us long Willow, so it's fairly obvious you won't have saved too much, but be happy with what you have saved - it's far better than not having bothered to save at all.!! Be happy and don't get panicky as the date comes nearer. You can always keep on saving til next year if you'd rather....you choose, it's your money! :)

    NB. Please everyone, don't start to panic about the amount you've saved as the count up date gets closer. It's the fact that you're saving that counts - not the amount. Be happy with whatever you saved, it's a great achievement and beats not having saved at all.!!! :D

    Sue x Anyone wishing to join in, please just ask as it's never too late and you'll be in for next year and.....evermore! ;)

    Great news Willow! I think you've made a very wise decision there.:)

    Well done with the shawl sale, fishcakes, it's so good if we can draw on talents or simply being creative to help us through, you did good.

    Wow, quite a holiday then Applecider! Still, it's amazing what we can do if we save hard. BTW, it's Caribbean. ;) Ah, bless your Nana.

    I managed £2 after shopping yesterday, £1 was from the trolley at Mo******s.

    Have a good Tuesday all.

    Sue x Anyone wishing to join in, please just ask as it's never too late and you'll be in for next year and.....evermore! Or longer. ;)
