    Afternoon All,

    NSD today :D

    I forgot to mention that last night I bought a takeaway for my OH and I. I had £1.50 change so I asked OH to put it in pot two on one condition that he matched it and bless him he did :T

    Hope everyone has a nice evening.

    Mr Melvis gave me a shiny new Jim Bean tin today so the change has been transferred to it's new home :j:j it's much nicer than the plastic Jucee bottle we've been using :rotfl::rotfl: but it won't hold as much so may have to find a 2nd tin mid year! xxx

    hellooooo :wave: back from a very expensive shopping day as Miss Lily needed a new coat and trousers (seems having half inch of ankle showing is NOT classed as a fashion statement just a lazy mum) plus had to buy bare neccessity foods and had post for ebay items sold :eek:

    But good news is £1.07 in change for my pot and i've just found a bag of 2ps in the bureau so am trying to decide whether to pop it in my pot as is or take it to the bank and get it changed for a shiny £1 coin first :think:. Im going to be in alot of trouble though as I have put my pot money in while Miss Lily is at nursery so she has no pennies to clunk :eek:

  • Finally some change!!! That £15 that's been burning a hole in my purse since the 22nd of December finally got spent last night (well, £10 of it), went to the cinema with OH (he paid) and a friend and went to Morrisons on the way to get reasonably priced popcorn and coke etc. Total = £5.20 and when we priced up the same at the cinema (just for kicks!) it was £18.45! Cinema food is SUCH a rip off! Anyway £4.80 in the pot when I got home. :D

    Brilliant news, Bebs, but what's "I cannot wait for the 1/12 to have glass of wine" to do with it?! :huh:


    Fellars need more training than us, loveGSDs, you've a real job on your hands if you're to do so. ;)


    Good for you, KONG, you too, nunnygirl, be patient - it soon adds up.

    I've just been looking on ebay for a Terramundi Pot, but a bit too expensive for me, I came across some tins that need opening with a can opener, and pretty reasonably priced. I've got one for myself and one for my son, I'll try and encourage him to save aswell.

    If anyone hasn't got a pot yet here's the link (none of the listings are mine by the way).
