Evening all!
Firstly thank you to all of the lovely newbie welcomes Sue-UU, jakes-mum, mumof3plusoh - it's quite amazing that already I feel such a strong support that I know good things are ahead of me now I'm going to be tackling things head on - with gusto! :T:j:beer:
jakes-mum - I love it! :rotfl:Cults, drill sargeants, bring it all on, whatever's necessary!
Saturday is weekly shop day (alas not a NSD) so will be picking up the necessary for the paper mache as well. I've searched around but unfortunately couldn't find any balloons or paste. Actually what is better; glue, flour or paste?
Yesterday's existing little pot count and car rummage turned up £6.89 - it's a start I guess
Have a lovely evening xPalmarosa

Hi Sue! Hi everyone.
OK It's not quite Jan 2012 but I dumped the entire contents of my purse a princely £7.60 into my larger sealed Savings Pot (before I discovered that the Manufacturers of the pots in question decided to downsize the pot to increase their profits, at my expense). Boy oh boy! I had to take out £10 from Mr T on a recent Shopping Trip but at least it's a step in the right direction.
NB Especially to Sue. Thank you for your very caring and wonderfully personal message to welcome me on the Thread.
If truth be told I struggle to do the whole MSE thing, enlist on Challenges etc so hopefully I can do somethings to get me to these important goals.#TY[/B] Would be Qaulity MSE Challenge Queen.

Be careful what you're agreeing to with jakes-mum, Palmarosa...that's me she's referring to as the drill sargeant!! :idea: I'll have her one of these days. :mad: BTW £6.89 is most definitely a great start to your pot savings!
You're off to a good start too, JayneTay - well done both of you!
Excellent news, Kerry!
Enjoy the rest of the day folks, not long til the weekend now!

No 89 Checking in - I dont think I have been on here since the start of the thread but the thought of everyone on here potting away kept me motivated with my potting. I just popped on to say that I am going to London for a few days (including Christmas Shopping :rudolf: ) so I have emptied and counted my pot in preparation and have a fantastic £850.00 :j.
I will prepare myself for SPC 5 when I am back
Well done everyone keep potting

) so im sporting hand painted flowers today. Hopefully some pennies for the pot tomorrow as its payday for me and I desperately need some cereal, so i'll just have to take cash out
