Loved the joke Sue, made me chuckle that did

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

Yeah, can't wait either...just when we're really in the thick of winter Seriously sparky, it'll be marvellous for you both to look ahead to, well deserved too, a lot like a Christmas pressie really! :grinheart

Your voice alongside T's would bring a whole new meaning to "The Choir", especially military wise...they'd be shooting you both!!!! :rotfl:Sorry about the Fwd, I had it ready for you then saw the e-mail I had almost sorted out (the names/nos I've now sent you) and it went completely out of my mind. All go eh sparks!

Oh no! So sorry Kerfuffle, I hadn't given a thought to you in Canada! Pretty neat though he! :rotfl: You've had your first snow haven't you? Get the snowblower ready for DH, Kerf!

I'm so chuffed to see a 19 yr old so keen in saving, brilliant redbull, keep saving throughout life, it makes it so much easier.

Superb, Muppet_baby, you're really doing well with that last push ahead, a few days yet too!

Oh very good, jakes-mum! You can do shopping for DH & I too if you like, not that we have the frijj, can't afford em, but you can! :rotfl:

Sue x

Ahh now Sue-UU they only got them cos they were on Buy 1 get 2 free, so 40p each (just a tiny treat for them ) if it had been any more expensive it would have been NOOOOOOOOOO. Though actually DS and DD both gave me 20p toward their bottles so I actually only spent 80p for 3 bottles :rotfl:

Sue-UU

Don't worry, jakes-mum, just having a giggle because of your special offers, they always make me chuckle. All kiddies deserve treats - me too??! :rotfl:

Decluttering

My good deed of the day was lightening the weight of my mum's handbag by taking all the coppers out of the bottom of it (she's the only person I know to throw her change in her bag instead of putting it somewhere sensible). Her bag is now 16p lighter and I had to persuede the 2p's that there was enough room in there for them This time next week I'll be counting up all the change and cursing the fact that I never actually got any bags from the bank :rotfl:

Snowblower? That's so old hat! Hubby has progressed to a quad with a plough on the front :rotfl:, and now he gets paid to clear the street to our house :T , so extra pennies for us :T:T.

Yep, we've had some snow already and I thought "hey up!" (that's the Yorkshire in me ) "this'll be it to at least the end of March", but yesterday was a warm spell and it's pretty much all gone. Every day without snow is a bonus at this time of year eh! :rotfl:

Just got home from the pub, couple of drinks with a friend and a mystery shop, but found a wee silver one under our tableso popped it in to the bottle ready for opening day.

Sue thanks very much, im really into it as I have just experienced all my mates going off to uni and 6 months later some of them are in over 3k worth of debt already.. I'm doing it whilst enjoying myself and still having a great social life. I allow myself 1 massive alcoholic night out a month so I save my money up for it and spend a fortune. Get bluttered, but with money saving I think you need to let off some steam. Just want to get settled etc. Getting a 2.5k pay rise in march too hopefully !

Is it bad to say that we have £1000 kitty for alcohol for 12 people for our night out next week, I think a soar head will be in action the next day!!

Oh and .... I'm 18

Night all, very long message on my new iPhone, very non Money Saving. But oh well

prepareathome

popped £2.45 into the pot tonight

recurrent-ostrich

Just working out how I'm going to work my pot(s). Is it better to just have one pot, or one for coppers and anoher one for £1 and £2's? Am concerned that a £2 pot will be too much of a temptation when I'm in need of chocolate and can't get to the cashpoint! :rotfl:
