  • hi,

    the pot has changed final destination - no longer for xmas this year BUT to go towards my 30th birthday party jan next year. this means the target will change. well excited - i was ill for my 16 and 18 and had a 6week old baby for my 21.

    i intend on buying xmas gifts 1 a week unless see more cheaply! PLUS i am going to start buying party banners etc if i see any cheaply. will ask on freecycle as well.
    due to spilling coffee :coffee: on my keyboard it works when it wants to :rotfl:

    Evening All,

    What a busy day at work nearly 12 hours :( and had a rubbish night's sleep so hoping I will sleep better tonight.

    I have found £1.24 in my purse so that will be added to the pot. I still feel that I should get my OH more involved, maybe next month once we have moved in together :shhh:
  • £1 added today :beer:
  • If I remember correctly is was £3.20 in pot today have decided not to keep track now, but have also encouraged DH to add his change too:D.
    :money:
  • :hello:

    £2+ for pot today - not counting now - looking forward to a BIG BIG SUPRISE - better be a good one ;)

    Well done everyone

    Hi Sue, the last time I checked I was definately a man :rotfl:

    Oh no, postie_bear, though it had to be one fellar enticing another. Whatever happens, don't get corrupted by my secretary then, though to another fellar I should be saying don't get corrupting my secretary. Why do I have fears of problems afoot when there are even more fellars than I'd thought. Any more 'in drag' per chance??? :idea:


    I was just about to praise you, stepharoo for not keeping tabs on your pot money, then I read the last bit about you almost being tempted. :eek: All I can say is Superglue on top of the cellotape!!! Stick to thinking how great it feels come December with a full pot!! :j


    Amazing how folk become more tidy minded when searching for pot funds - eh esmer!

    That's it fishcakes, watch him and convert him.....whether he likes it or not.

    If that's how you get after £1.23 nu1isit?, look out when you reveal your pot's holding on the 1st December. Well done!

    Oh dear poor Dreamer, not to worry, take comfort of thinking of the sausage roll being turned into cold, hard cash in your pot rather than calories on you!

    ooooh a eureka moment then LC 2....though you can get a bob it wasn't sparky's he's too tight to drop money anywhere. Actually, can just picture him crawling on all 4s all the way round Liverpool with a magnifying glass if he heard a pin drop from his pocket. :rotfl::rotfl:Poor ole sparky, he doesn't arf take some flack!


    oh I just love thoughts of your Lily sticking it in her own box, jakes-mum, the look on your face too! You're rearing money savvi kiddies there, be prepared! ;)


    Silver - you HAVE to be joking about smashing your pot to get at the money???!! :eek:


    For all those with Terramundi pots: Don't give companies who sell them the pleasure of smashing them come December! To remove contents; sit at a table, or on the floor and tilt the Terramindi up and on it's side and gently let the money move to the slit and, using a knife, jiggle it out the the knife end. Believe me, you'll so very quickly get a knack for it to gently fall out (sometimes gushing). From then on and by gently tipping the pot a little more you'll be having a ball and the excitement builds up s much that you won't want it to stop!

    Well done Sally! 463 or the latest one?


    -oooh eck, grassgirl.!!! Very many apologies about missing you out..no idea how, but you're definitely right. I have a special No for you, a choice in fact 463 or the latest one?

    So when do we get our invites to your 30th Amy??!:j ;) All the best for good health in this one.

    Have a good night's sleep, blondy, I hope you feel much better after it tomorrow.

    An extremely wise decision, honeybear68. Most of us just state roughly what we've saved whenever we're here, but most of us then just put in the pots and never keep tally of it. Most of us go for the surprise element!

    Have a good night all and a lovely...though very wet day tomorrow.

    Sue x Anyone wishing to join, just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.
