    Thanks Footiemad and Kerry Woman :D. It's not the end of the world - I think :eek:...The car can be fixed (he says with fingers crossed really tightly), it's just a bit of a pain raising the money for it. Already got the brakes for it (big sigh of relief :p), just need to get the money sorted out for the other part/job now. I've managed to raise roughly £42 so far, thanks to some cheeky car booting the other day :T :D :T.
    I don't think I'd get much selling myself down the docks :D :rotfl: :D, so it's onto Plan B; I'll have to find some more stuff to car boot for the money :p.
    Anyway, got a few more coins to pop into Mr. Tumble, all different colours ;).
    Hope you've all had a good one...:beer:

    Hi nu1isit? Well done on the money making for the car bits and pieces. Would love to give you a helping hand with some car bootie, but we are not in the same neck of the woods.;):p

    Anyway I am sure you will get there, you dont let anything beat you as we well know from your exploding master pieces. Whoops there I go again. :rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a good day tomorrow.

    :wave:Evening Potters

    I hope you have all enjoyed the sunshine. Been to fat club tonight and stayed the same..so I am very happy as I thought I would gain. Time to take hold and get on with getting to goal and to spur me on I will now up date my sig with my weight loss and where I want to be i.e lbs lost, then I will have no excuse as you can all see it :D

    Now thats out of the way, I fed Rosie a total of £4.97 tonight. £3.70 courtesy of helping out at fat club and the rest from my purse and to include the last £1 coin that was hanging around and 27p change from the shop. :D

    Trying not to spend too much. I have 3 £2 coins in my purse and if I dont spend tomorrow I will pop one in. Again a mini challenge to see how long I can hang on to them for. If I get to the end of the week and they are still there then in the pot they shall go.

    Have a good day tomorrow folks and lets hope we have more sunshine..this is before I check the weather reports. ;)

    TTFN :D

    Morning all :wave:

    Emptied the remainder of last weeks money into my pot, must have been around 80p or so but all helps. Copper pot is getting heavy. Once its full I'll go to the bank with it and put the pound coins into my sealed pot.

    Have a good day

    £1.70 in mine today. I'm doing the VSP 2011 challenge, and really enjoying saving. I would normally have bought a paper, sweets for the children, drinks, snacks, etc with any change I have. Just because I can. Heres to frugality. Its surprisingly enjoyable! :T

    Saw someone throwing coins away on the floor. Me and my friend rushed over to see what they'd thrown. Euros....
