    Well done, dippy and Suzi.

    I think they soon get to know us, mcjordi. Probably curse us a bit at times too. ;)


    I love it when it sounds empty, Gorgeestwo, it gives so much zest to get that "I'm getting heavier" sound! :) The pot NOT me! :mad:


    I've a feeling you're set to do well, sherry24, keep going all out and by next October(ish) you'll be so very excited about getting ready for Dec 1st. :j


    Very well done, Footiemad. You sound as though you're about as motivated as anyone can get, keep it up and you'll be so pleased with yourself. Good luck finding cash whilst doing the housework...that's all most of us do it for. :D

    A lovely thing to do, Palema, I bet she loves times like that. Good for you with what you saved. :)

    Hi everyone, I am back home now. :jI have been away at the MIL for Christmas. Just emptied my coat pocket of a couple of pounds and change. DH just emptied his pocket of copper and silver. Once I have unpacked everything I might find a few more pennies.;)

    You're welcome, sherry24, though I don't think you need much motivation - not when you're THAT determined! ;)

    Good to see you home ;), pjjjx and well done on your money. BTW, great news about the weight too! :T

    I reckon you're right, sparky, how could I argue with you anyway. Good to see you back...there was me thinking you might be in a gutter after the booze, I should have known better. :D Good to hear you and DW had a good meal, I should think she's deserved it with all her work, poor girl.

    We went well over the 5000 in the 2nd SPC, but not last year - I don't think there's any doubt about it this time!

    Have a wonderful evening everyone.

    Sue x

  • 55p in for me yesterday from the change in my purse and 2p found lurking in the bottom of my bag.
    Nothing yet today as used the debit card to pay for shopping so no change. :( Still, every little bit will add up I guess!
