    I have made a poster to put up in my local shop selling a couple of things (too big for ebay really) so if they sell the money will go into my pot. I am trying not to spend any money until Saturday so won't have any change but who knows what I might find!!

    Thanks for not mentioning the Sunday roast Sue !!!! ;) Hope you enjoyed it, she says through gritted teeth :rotfl::rotfl:

    Cor Footiemad, twer just about the best bit of lamb we've ever eaten, succulent and perfectly cooked - of course! Same as you next week, off out for a roast, so we'll need to compare notes!!

    Great news on the ebay sales, daisygogo. :T I must think about getting some on too. The times I've said that.

    Well done on your TV sale, loveGSDs!! :T

    Always try to stick with a low estimation of what your pot holds, blue_eyed_girl, not easy I know, but try. Keep piling it in and you'll be ok. ;) BTW, you be as proud as you wish when having that meal!!!


    Tina - you didn't pick up a penny due to embarrassment :o - that is an MSE sin for certain!!!:mad: We all do it and those behind you would have done! Put it this way - why leave it there?!! You'll get there soon enough, but don't worry about other folk, you're you! ;)


    Oh dear LC 2...would you ever credit it, though I pictured it all very well.:rotfl: I've got mine trained now bless him....he picks em up for me!!! It's our kids that get embarrassed, but their turn will come and they'll change! It sounds hilarious in your house - in a weird sort of way. :D


    Hiya Caz!!! :hello: Great to see you back again and so sorry about the abscess and feeling rough. Back to saving's land now!

    Afternoon sparky, sounds like your gang have done one heck of a lot of good for the kiddies at Alder Hey - congratulations to one and all!!! :T:T That must be so darned cold at times though. Our lad has a bike and loves it - mad fool!! :cool:


    Good for you, Denzel.

    All the best natnat, with losing the desired weight too! :T


    Hubby had to go out to the shop early today..... I welcomed in along with 2 x Gold/Silver coins! £4 in the pot! :j


    Enjoy your day folks, even if you're at work, look forward to the evening.

    Sue x Anyone wishing to join us, please ask, you're more than welcome and it's never too late!

    Hi l33na, lovely to see you again. Don't worry about not coming earlier, but you obviously had plans for Easter, which is fine. Good to hear you're still saving regularly which is mainly what SPC is all about.

    When you open your pot at Easter, if you could kindly come on then and let me know so that sparky can put your Total on his spreadsheet, that would be great, it would also mean that your Total is included in the next Grand Total, in December which, to my mind, is important.

    Thanks so much for letting me know what you're doing, it's much appreciated. Take care and keep saving and you know where we are. :)

    Sue x
