  • Hiya, it's been a little while for me, but I've still been putting money in the pot. Managed just over £20 so far this month, can't believe deadline day is so soon!
    2nd Purse #036 £46.69/£50.00 :) 3rd Purse £30.02
  • £1 in the pot.

    So wish I had started this thread earlier as just wrote a Christmas list and rough amount as to who to buy for and how much to spend:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Already setting my new years resolution!!! Be more organised and save more money.:T

    If I can save my target of £150 by 1st Dec and with my £1 a day pot will probably go to make about 1/4 of the money I need for this year!:(

    Oh well recieved my freebie Bayleys today and that will go into the hamper that I am making my friend. Just need a container and that is finished.:T:T

    Have a great weekend everyone.:)

    Ahh see - mention yer name, jakes-mum and out of the woodwork you come. So, you'd forsaken us for your most recent challenge then, puh! :p Don't worry, I wasn't moaning at your lack of posts....more marvelling at how you'd quiet for soooooo long! ;) Good to see you, whatever. Glad you're still saving and well sorted with the coffee!!! :T

    Awww thanks caracara, I've gone all shy now :o You're doing brilliantly!!! :T

    Very good, Kerry, you too, skilly!

    You lucky thing, Helen, I've not had any roadkill for ages - let alone a whole 20p!! :D

    Hiya sparky, good to see the USA pot still being added regularly to. Have you no shame in attacking your DW's purse? As if I'd do such a thing to T!!!

    That's ok, Muppet_baby, you don't have to come to the thread regularly, but it's always good to see folks. You're doing well, keep at it. :)

    There you go see, mumof3plusoh, there's one sorted already! :D I understand what you mean about not having been with us all year through, but at least you've saved for a fair while - far better than nowt! Look ahead to next year, it's looking good for sure. ;)

    Night all and have yourselves a really lovely weekend. :)

    Morning Sue
    You're only saying that because you've still got a bad shoulder and you can't turn your poor hubby upside down to shake the change from his pockets :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Just about to go and do something satisfying, write closure letters to 3 credit card companies, thanks to the overtime, they've been paid off :j:j:j

    Have a great weekend hun X
