    Thanks x

    You DIDN'T see your name moremoneythansense???? :eek: I've just had a look...and it's there for sure, right at the very end, honest. I know for sure as.....I just put it there! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:So sorry moremoneythansense, but I can do scatty in a remarkable way. :cool: You sound as though you've made youself at home now, they don't call this the madhouse for nothing. ;)

    Oh Footie, that's bad luck, but proves you either have water retention or have worked out so hard that your increased muscles have caused the extra -right? :rotfl: It'll sort itself out next week Footie, you'll get there with all of us backing you. :grouphug: Maybe not quite like that, but you get the picture....I hope.

    Hi skilly, jakes-mum and Lee-anne, well done with the savings girls, though it's a quiet day here, everyone enjoying the rain maybe!

    Sleep tight all and have a lovely day tomorrow.

    Morning!

    A concerted effort this weekend with my change and £9 got added to the total.

    I'm hopeful to break the £200 barrier within the next day or two.

    have a good day

    Hello, I'm a newbie to these forums and I am amazed at all the brilliant ideas and challenges that u guys have come up with to help save money and make it fun at the same time. Please could I be added to this challenge. Going to put my loose change in the pot and see if I can fund Xmas that way.

    Thanks

    Just got home from a wander around town, some idiot boys were throwing pennies around in the shopping centre so I may have collected up a couple of them as I passed after they'd gone, now safely in the bottle where noone can abuse them again until at least December.

    A very warm welcome
    to the thread and to MSE, ChihiroSen, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif 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

    ChihiroSen, it's so good to hear the pleasure of people such as yourself when they take up the new challenges, it makes saving far more pleasurable and even lessens the misery for those with real debts. All the best in making Cristmas easier this year. Don't forget - on days when you have nothing to put in the pot, it's possibly because you haven't spent any either and it's always good to have NSDs ( Non Spending Days). ;)

    Oh scuba, I'll bet you were like a kiddie in a sweetie shop after those lads had gone!! It paints a gret picture of you rescuing them...a couple you say??? :think: Good to think of them in safe hands. ;)

    Well done Lost, yet again you've found summat! ;)

    WOW Mal, that will be just wonderful if you can crack £200, do let us know won't you...or will we hear it on an national tannoy?

    You're learning hotspur_pam, though be careful of using that GO name on here :naughty:...SPC and him don't go together. Aside from that, they fear us..oh yes....and whenever you see them in the commons whispering to each other with a hand hel to cover their mouths, they're speaking of SPC!!!! People are saving and keeping money to THEMSELVES!!!!!! :eek::eek::eek: (<-- that's them DC, GO and NC) There's not much that gets past me. :dance:It's ok, I'm happily bonkers. :rotfl:

    Well done Gap. :)

    Nowt for me, but an NSD so can't grumble...well I can, but......

    Might see you all later here in Potters Paradise, folks. Til then take care of yourselves, the families too.
