"Sealed Pot Challenge 3"

elsie52

Morning everyone,

£1 into the pot yesterday, probably nothing going in today, I am not working today and not going out so its a NSD. Which, judging by the state of my bank account, its a good job that I'm staying in. :rolleyes:

Have a good day everyone.

65p in pig today, change from Chinese takeaway:o Don't normally stick 50ps in but feeling guilty for wasting money on a chinese.

Morning
After a shocking few days with a distincy lack of roadkill on the wirrals streets I figured I may actually have to spend a little to get change to clunk in the wine bottle - can't put notes in as I deliberately didn't make the slot in the lid big enough
So today I have another £1.47 to go in..... woo hoo!
On another note, me and the OH have also decided to aim for £15 a week in the bottle so by next december = £720 approx..... well at least I have a goal now!
Hope we all have a lovely day

Morning all,
Just finished some dark shifts which I hate. (I can never find roadkill in the dark) I'm either mad busy or not busy at all. Bah!
What a fantastic total we achieved eh?
I'm off to hunt for some roadkill later, and I may go and annoy Future Mrs S at work.
And no, my wedding reception will not be ath the Yacht Club you cheeky so and so's (you know who you are!) It'll be at that quality establishment the Police Social Club! lol. Very classy!!!

Stunty.

Mornig Stunty,
Good to have you back young man, the ladies are getting feisty again and picking on me, the Police Social club sounds very up market . Hope you've got some time off over the festive season to spend with the future Mrs S.

Just put another £1.10 into pot. :j I "found" £2.20 in fleece jacket belonging to OH, and another 10p in his jeans pocket. I was tidying up, you understand. So I think I have been fair in the sharing out of said £2.30. £1.10 for me, 60p for OH and 3 x 20p for grandchildren's pots. :A

It pays to stay home and tidy. !

IT'S CHRISTMAS DAY ALL IS SECURE

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE
IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE
I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE
AND TO SEE JUST WHO, IN THIS SMALL HOME DID LIVE

I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE -
NO TINSEL NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE.
NO STOCKING BY THE MANTLE JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND
ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES OF A FAR DISTANT LAND
WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS.
THEN A SOBER THOUGHT CAME INTO MY MIND

FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY,
T'WAS THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY
THE SOLDIER LAY SLEEPING, SILENT, ALONE
CURLED UP ON THE FLOOR IN THIS ONE BEDROOM HOME

THE FACE WAS SO GENTLE, THE ROOM IN DISORDER
NOT HOW I PICTURED A LONE SOLDIER..
WAS THIS THE HERO OF WHOM I'D JUST READ,
CURLED UP ON A PONCHO, THE FLOOR FOR A BED

I REALISED THE FAMILIES THAT I SAW THIS NIGHT
OWED THEIR LIVES TO THESE SOLDIERS, WHO WERE WILLING TO FIGHT
AND SOON ROUND THE WORLD THE CHILDREN WOULD PLAY
AND GROWNUPS WOULD CELEBRATE A BRIGHT CHRISTMAS DAY

THEY ALL ENJOY FREEDOM EACH MONTH OF THE YEAR
BECAUSE OF THE SOLDIERS, LIKE THE ONE LYING HERE.
I COULDN'T HELP BUT WONDER, HOW MANY ALONE,
ON A COLD CHRISTMAS EVE IN A LAND FAR FROM HOME?

THE VERY THOUGHT BROUGHT A TEAR TO MY EYE
I DROPPED TO MY KNEES AND STARTED TO CRY
THE SOLDIER AWAKENED, I HEARD A ROUGH VOICE
"SANTA DON'T CRY, THIS LIFE IS MY CHOICE.
I FIGHT FOR FREEDOM, I DON'T ASK FOR MORE
MY LIFE IS MY GOD, MY COUNTRY, MY CORPS"

THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER AND DRIFTED TO SLEEP.
I COULDN'T CONTROL IT, I CONTINUED TO WEEP.

I KEPT WATCH FOR HOURS, SO SILENT AND STILL
AND WE BOTH SAT AND SHIVERED FROM THE COLD NIGHTS CHILL.
I DIDN'T WANT TO LEAVE, ON THAT COLD DARK NIGHT,
THIS GUARDIAN OF HONOUR, SO WILLING TO FIGHT...

THEN THE SOLDIER ROLLED OVER WITH A VOICE SOFT AND PURE
WHISPERED "CARRY ON SANTA, CHRISTMAS DAY IS SECURE"
ONE LOOK AT MY WATCH AND I KNEW HE WAS RIGHT
"MERRY CHRISTMAS MY FRIEND - AND TO ALL A GOOD NIGHT!"

THIS POEM WAS WRITTEN BY A BRITISH PEACE KEEPING SOLDIER STATIONED OVERSEAS.

THE FOLLOWING IS HIS REQUEST - I THINK IT IS REASONABLE.

PLEASE WOULD YOU DO ME THE KIND FAVOUR OF SENDING THIS TO AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN

CHRISTMAS WILL BE COMING SOON AND MUCH CREDIT IS DUE TO OUR BRITISH SERVICE MEN AND WOMEN FOR OUR BEING ABLE TO CELEBRATE THESE FESTIVITIES.
LET'S TRY IN THIS SMALL WAY TO PAY BACK A TINY BIT OF WHAT WE OWE!

Another email from a friend, please copy and paste this into an email and send it to as many people you can, try to keep it going, so we can keep our armed forces in peoples minds over the festive season.
