    Hello everyone glad to see the next sealed pot challenge has already started:money:

    Good luck everyone!! :xmassmile

    Hi everyone another 50p in the pot for me today, which I could do with as it is not pay day until the 22nd and I am officially skint now :( but to make myself feel better I dug some mince out of the freezer and have made a big pan of chilli for my b/f who is coming round tomorrow for a quiet night in, so haven't spent anything so far today and I hope not to either...:T
    :) Been here for a long time and don't often post
