A very warm welcome AimeesMum, It's lovely to have you with us.
Have fun saving from now on and through 2011. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much
AimeesMum, you may have noticed on the 1st post of the thread that there are instructions on how to create your pigs, so good luck with them, especially your little sweetheart's, dear little mite!
You're welcome, tattycath, wishing you well with savings. Also wishing you well with the CT scan and Neurologist.I've seen a few of them..forever looking for me brain, no idea if they found it! All very best, cath. [Edit] Just noticed your first £5er saved, brilliant!! :j
Good for you, esmer.
Fingers crossed for the £10er being saveable, ebsaver, though NSDs are good too. Make the most of what you're able to save, but don't worry about it as we all get times like that, you're not alone, I promise you!
No problems, claudiac, no one has to post, if we can it encourages others, but when we're busy it's not always easy to. Be happy with what you do.
I'm chuffed to bits with that Total, sparky!!!You're a jammy devil with your little mate, I still reckon he's got a magnet on the end of his nose - or you have and walk on all 4s!!! :rotfl:What an image. Bad luck with the bad weather yesterday, it was wet all through the night, but a lovely day to follow, a good one today too. Still, I hope you've both had a good weekend and rested...
........everyone else too!
All the best with your hopes, Daisy, sounds like you have a great plan, stick to it.
Good for you with all you're doing LC 2, I hope he has a lovely day and thoroughly enjoys it all.
Brilliant TMB!!!:T
I was glad to see sparks had put your No on, WER, I'd meant to..and forgot all about it!! :undecided What were you saying about age - I've forgotten!! Well done on doing your sig yourself, though I know Kas would gladly have done, it's good sometimes though to master things on your own. It's great to see you - keep it up WER!!
Lovely to see you LC!!! Well done on helping the kiddies!
A grumpy old women money box given you, Kas..I just don't see the connection at all. :think: You right about reb with that crummy bench, dirty little beggar! Behave YOURself though or I can see you and LC as well as LC 2 on there! Cor love a duck, what a thought!!Well done on having £100 already!!;)
Good for you both gambit and GRB!
You've done well all told then, Footiemad, are you building up muscle which accounts for the weight?
Your Target is updated to read £600, polka purpura, all the best with it. Do what you know to be best with your debt, I can well understand that it has to go where the need's greatest. Good luck!
You raided his pockets, nickynoo????:eek: I'm shocked - see, you're learning!!! :T
Hi nu1isit? your description of your LO having fun sounded great and I could picture her well, bless her.
Well done St sparky!!!! :T What a relief for that poor lass! I know what it feels like as I lost mine in the snow a few years ago - found it though, 2 days later!!:j It's a horrible time to go through though so I can sympathise with her.
Hiya Paul and good to see you!! Good to her you're still feeding the pot well. Love to Sarah & Beth and take care.
You've still done well, Dreamer!
You'll blow yourself up with THAT much fodder if you're not careful Kirsty!!! :eek::eek: I hope the kiddies enjoy the rabbits.
2p for me in the pot,plus another £1 DH found in his pocket...he beat me to it obviously! :j
It looks ruddy wet here tomorrow, but whatever the weather, have a good day all. Stay safe and healthy and keep right on saving where possible.
