Thanks Sparky Thought I would help out a little but knew you would be here soon to do it properly.. Unfortunately me thinks I will have to wait a while for deputy badge as I forgot that its Sue who allocates the numbers:rotfl:

I do my best. Well done on the scooter fund. Does that mean you will ease up and give us all a chance to get some roadkill!!!! Not on your nelly I hear you say:rotfl::rotfl:Have a good day.

Thanks FM
You're right on me easing up on the road change though, I have to start collecting for next years tax & MoT . I don't like paying for it myself you see

Weighed both the Summer 2011 pot & my sealed pot yesterday one weighs 7lb & the other weighs 8lb. Plus there's only 255 days (36 weeks!) to go to the grand opening of the sealed pots and only 9 weeks on Friday 'til our Summer holiday

afternoon all, have returned from my weekend away in Skegness, and contrary to the horror stories my family told me about the place, hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed it! downside is there is a heck of alot of arcades and I have a bit of a passion for slots I gave them up when I fell pregnant with DS 10 1/2 yrs ago, but have to admit to dabbling whilst by the seaside. I tried to be a good girl and stuck to the 2p droppers!! (theres just something about a looad of copper falling into a tray that gets me all excited :rotfl:) and I only changed up £4, hubby on the other hand loves those shoot em up games and happily removed at least £10 from our holiday pocket money :eek:.
BUT everytime those little copper coins fell in the tray I scooped them up and popped them in the front of my bag along with any small change recieved after paying for dinner or a cheeky coffee and have just emptied £1.67 into my sealed pot.
Very excited as its now so full I cant get a 2p in the top without a good shake so its nearly time for a new pot :j

Hi there Jakes-mum glad you had a good break. It always recharges the batteries and well done on managing to have something for the pot too.

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Thought as much Sparky I dont blame you mind, liking your style. I will have to up the anti and start hunting out the road kill myself to cover the car tax...dont do scooters or bikes I am safest in a car (some would disagree!!):rotfl::rotfl:or on my two feet.

Where does the time go..that far into the new year already its scary:eek:

Catch you later:p

Hi all :hello:

I've not updated for absolutely ages. Mostly because I ended up opening my jar and spending it's contents

I have now invested in one of those tins you have to cut open with tin open so I won't be cheating this time lol.

Dunno how much is in it but I've been trying to put something in every day, no matter how small.

i love the 2p machines too but gave up last year as i've i spent a fortune and only came away with a set of rubber bangles and a casio chip keyring :mad: .....after that i throught ''well your the one who tried to win them'' it hit me what a waste, it wasn't so exciting after that lol.:)

13p going in today.

Just 50p for me today.

Been a lovely sunny day but it's turning a bit cool now. Feel like getting out into garden and do a bit of pottering - possibly even get lawnmower out some day soon (bound to rain now I've said that)

Hope everyone's ok
