    Thanks footiemad
    Last years road change paid for my scooter MoT, tax & a tank of petrol about £48 in all, not bad for loking down at the ground :D


    Your welcome Sparky ;)My school report says must try harder when looking for roadkill. Nose too far off the ground to find it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Any tips for a beginner:D

    Hubby has given up smoking, hes gone from 10+ a day to 1 a day if hes desperate (some days none at all :D), I bought him a pack of 10 on thursday just so he knows there is some in the house as he seems to cope better that way. so ive popped the other £3 he would have spent on a pack of 20 in the pot, and ive told him that for every week he doesnt smoke i'll pop £5 extra in the pot and he can have £5 per week for his online game. If i have to buy him a pack of 10 a week then pot money goes down to £3. Trying to give him some encouragement :D

    Ahh sue-UU its me thats blessed with my mum, she works full time but since I fell ill shes taken over alot of my housework stuff, she cooks dinners for my kids, goes to all my sons school things that I cant attend . . the list is endless tbh. So to get her a bit of bread is the least I can do :)


    Well done to you and your OH with the savings and him giving up smoking. The support is whats needed and he is getting it tenfold. good for you both. :T:T;)

    He can do it, i know he can. He gave up for 3 yrs before and then took it up because of the 'stress of our forthcoming wedding' (we've been married 4 yrs now so i must be awful to live with :rotfl:)

    Id much rather pour the money away to an online game than cigarettes as at least the game wont kill him, just keeps him really quiet for hours :D

    £2 went into my pot last night. My total is now £52.76, halfway there!

    ...Which has now got me thinking of how on earth I'm going to bank all this! I don't really want to empty it into a Coinstar and pay commission, my boyfriend said that RBS has a machine that ultimately does the same thing and puts it straight into your bank account. I think RBS may have a new customer soon!
    Thank you competition posters!

    I'm hanging magnets off the chrome bars on my scooter so I can scoop any loose change up as I ride past :rotfl:
