    That's perfectly alright, Bublin, so long as you're happy and saving that's all that counts.

    I'll have more than that on you if you keep on trying to take the rise out of me! :mad: It's not just you, jakes-mum, I'm up the creak myself at the mo too so there's 2 of us, more besides if we only knew it I'll bet a bob.

    So, keep away from the pot, after all you (all of us) have waited all this time so why not til Thursday NEXT!!! Now BEHAVE or you'll be on that naughty bench without any food or water!!!! :mad:

    Signs of a harsh winter


    I just got off the phone with a friend living in North Dakota near the Canadian Border. He said that since early this morning the snow has been coming down, it is nearly waist high and is still falling. The temperature is dropping way below zero and the north wind is increasing to near gale force. His wife has done nothing but look through the kitchen window and just stare. He says that if it gets much worse, he may have to let her in.

    Evening everyone

    11 X £2 coins & 6 X 50p's going into the Chicago & New York spending fund

    £2 and change into the sealed pot

    9p tea room change

    Good to see we have more people joining the challenge and also very good to see kerfuffle back, where you been woman? We've missed you

    LC 2 You obviously haven't heard me play any musical instrument, that's almost as bad as me trying to sing, the heavens would open up in a deluge if I tried

    13 weeks until we go back to New York, can't wait

    Have a great evening everyone, stay safe & keep saving

    Thanks Sparks, I've missed you guys too :). I've just been really busy working, so only jumping on and off the MSE site as and when I could, however now I'm not working :( so I've got a chance to catch up until hopefully something else comes along. Hope you and DW are well, and I see you have another NY holiday booked, lucky you. I'm assuming that's New York and not North Yorkshire :rotfl:, I think it's great when I see people wearing T-shirts that declare " I heart North Yorkshire" ;)

    Toodles

    ETA: Just noticed you put New York, I was referring to an earlier post, ignore me, it's still early-ish.

    £8.20 in the pot today . Delighted I have a massive bug for this. Before I get change I know where it's going. This is all going towards my 20 th birthday fund, I'm planning a full day box at a top football club in London so this will help pay towards that!! Keep going people it will be worth it

    DH took me to tesco tonight as we needed a new kettle and thought we would use the double up Mr T points, well when we got there, they had very kindly reduced our kettle from £40 to £30.97, I had £10 in vouchers that I doubled up and then a £7 off £50 spend to in total my kettle cost me £ 3.97 :rotfl: Also got a bit of shopping, managed to spend £50 on goodness knows what :eek: and on the way out noticed that the frijj milkshakes hadnt gone through at B1G2F so went back in, it was DS's fault picking one up that wasnt on offer, but she very kindly got me another one and gave me my change back in cash instead of back on my card :D

    Sooooooooooo 1 x shiny £2 AND 4 x 50p's . . . I feel like ive raided sparkys NY fund :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
