    You certainly may join, Bebs and welshkaz, and a warm welcome to the thread. It's good to have you with us, have fun saving. :D You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. NB. Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much. NB. Pots are emptied on 1st December 2011, thank you

    Good to see your signature, Nige and what better way than to start announcing to the world that you're now an ex-smoker! :j Stay strong at all times, Nige and you'll crack it - for LIFE ....YOURS!!!!!

    Thanks for the invite 'proper' rather than my asking for it, tinkertaylor. Have just noticed your signature and the fact that you quit smoking in July this year - that is amazing and you must be so very proud of yourself!!!! :T:j:T I'll be 12 years free on Christmas Day and ecstatic at the achievement of it all. Tinkertaylor, if you can succeed in quitting fags then you can stop your Tesco addiction - no problem! We have a thread here so your story would always be welcome there, it really spurs 'in progress quitters' to know they CAN beat it!!

    Oh, scuba, I wish my washing machine would belch out money ...I wait in hope - BUT - maybe it's because I scour the pockets a bit too well beforehand!!! :(

    A goodly amount there, skilly! :D


    Well done, DFSD and how good is your dear hubby!!!! :kisses2:

    You've done well, fingersxed!! :D
