    It's never too late to join us, theladysaphir. A warm welcome aboard and have fun saving. :D You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through the 1st post as it'll let you know exactly how the challenge works. NB. Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much. NB. Pots are emptied on 1st December 2011, thank you.


    theladysaphir, you save as well from now on as you did with your terramundi and you'll be thrilled to bits!

    Thanks a lot for the lovely welcomes jakes-mum and LC2. ;)

    Starting off with £30 odd is brilliant, Bufger, stay with the hunting! ;)

    That's so lovely that you wait for your DD to come home before popping it in the pot, hjanea she'll remember that with a loving smile when bringing her own up! :)

    Oh e4rub, I do understand what you mean, but please don't be embarrassed or worry too much about debt and your kiddies. You are NOT alone and I've no doubt you're giving the little ones what you can...but so long as you give them plenty of love - they can't ask for more, truly! ;) If Martin can get the required 100,000 signaures on his e-petition for financial education to be part of the curriculum.....and the powers that be take notice they might just get to learn to be far more responsible than us who had none! :mad: For now, show them loads of love - it's no childhood without it and there's no charge! :)

    Ain't it the truth indeed, sparky. No's 10 & 11 would head the queue, s****s! :mad:

    Excellent news, skaps, even that alone would be a real help, keep it going the same as you have as we've still a fair time left.

    Polar Express would be my thought jakes-mum, though how about "The Snowman"? You can also get that doubled up with "Father Christmas", both very magical for kiddies...I love em too! YES seriously! :p

    Hiya folks! I hope you've all had a lovely Saturday and that tomorrow will be just as good if not better. Keep saving hard as we still have 9 weeks and 4 days til the 1st December!!!

    Sue x

    Helloooooooooooo again

    oh sue-uu ive turned the house upside down and I cant find our copy of the polar express anywhere :( The snowman was one of the first films I ever owned (along with the labyrinth, but think shes a bit young for that :D) I think i still have it on VHS :eek: shame I no longer own a VHS player :D

    I caved in people, I bought a thunder ball ticket, I have no idea why I did it, but I did find 20p co-op kill infront of the kiosk, so in the pot its gone :D:D:D

    E4rub, you should be very proud that you've paid 17% odd off your debt. Just keep chipping away and it will soon be gone :D
