    I'm sure Pip is a boys name!

    Pips names actually Aidan just to confuse you more! We called him Pip when he was a bump and it kind of stuck on here!

    Sorry to hear about your poorly DD Spendless.

    My youngest, DS2, has been off his food for a couple of days - not like him at all (he's a scrawny little thing but has a fairly good appetite normally...). We were puzzling over it this evening and managed to persuade him to have some cheese. He wasn't even interested in toast :eek:

    DH was reading the boys their bedtime story when I heard my name being yelled. DS2 had sat up in bed and puked everywhere.

    Sigh

    Hi Spendless

    Well Elysia, my daughter is 6 and she wants to save her money (she always does) - The reason - she wants to buy her babies food when she's older!!!!!!!


    Awww how cute... ! there's some forward thinking for you!

    Count me in too mum2one!

    After reading your post about it I found my sealed pot had £30 I had forgotton about. I have separated the 1p and 2p into a new pot and off I go!

    That was a nice suprise finding £30 hope u treat urself to something, add u in.
    DD is so exicted about it, (she has all change from 50p down), so was over the moon when we went to the 2p slots, saved all her winnings.... x

    Can I join the challenge too Mum2one? DD usually had all my 1's 2's and 5's but as she now has pocket money (as of 1st Jan) I can keep it.

    Can we swop daughters, even with pocket money she has it, thou in her defence the 50ps are going up towards swimming with the dolphins, and the loose bits are so when shes 18 she will a nice little sum for the future.

    Thou I'm sure given the chance she'd like the £1, £2 coins + any notes!! xx

    Hello all :j
    Been busy today..........decorations all down and put away -christmas cards cut up and salvaged for gift tags and cards, well what I could re-use of them and found an address book I had given me I'm going to cover and keep............don't like the pattern on it -for some reason we've two in the kitchen -why :confused: one would do and this ones a lot bigger. Gives me something to do while the weathers so 'iffy'. We had another lot of snow last night...............:mad: This rate I really will become a hermit !
    Hope you don't get to much more snow, ur be wrapping the xmas prezzies and ur be putting us to shame!!

    loopychris - I've got some other boxes I had some notelets in that I could cover and put the notelets I've made inside.................in fact, think I've got four of these boxes...................never like to throw a box away so if you need one let me know......................lol

    mum2one -like the sealed pot challenge idea but can I do my own please ? :confused:OH does the lottery every week -£2 -hardly ever wins more than £5 so I've told him every week I'll put £2 in a jar and see which of us has the most at the end of the year.

    Def add you to the list,keep fingers crossed ur get more money than hubby!! xx
