    Drum rolls and lots of glass clinking for Sparky :beer::beer::T:T:Tthats brilliant and an inspiration for me to start my savings pot for spends. New York mid sept and Florida at the end for 2 weeks. :eek: I am allowed as haven't been away for 2 years as she sheds a tear.;)

    Need to start soon. No O/T coming in so will have to look elsewhere. Up the cashback and maybe beg steal and borrow the umpiring matches. Will look at starting that next week and use £2 coins a la Sparky:D

    Morning Footiemad
    We we're amazed at how much was in there, we only expected about £100, so it's amazing how much you can save without thinking about it, also there are now 253 £2 coins released back into the wild for people to collect :D

    Good afternoon lovely peeps. ;)

    What a lovely sunny day it is too.

    I have decided Sparky there is no time like the present to start my £2 coin pot as I have one lurking in my purse. Just got to find a container to put it in now. Not going any where a £ shop but have a large coffee jar if I can just make a slit big enough to get them in. Holiday spends are go :j

    Just wanted to let you all know I recieved a £10 Next voucher courtesy of lovefilm marvellous and cashed in my first £10 for valued opinions today so a lovely J.lewis voucher is winging its way to me. :j :j Not sure if I will use them to treat myself or use them as birthday or Christmas vouchers yet. Either way its money I have made since joining the SPC. :D:D

    No umpiring pennies today, one team double booked again and the other one had their match cancelled, nevermind, there will be more I am sure.

    Catch you all later

    TTFN :p
