Wow! Your Jake did remarkably well, jakes-mum! Are you sure it's inherited and not more a case of you give them both daily lessons on anything cash related? The latter I'll bet.

just paving the way for the future :rotfl: i'd hate for him to be on here in 20 years time saying 'sue-uu!!! i had to raid my sealed pot to pay those mammoth debts i have cos me mum didnt teach me to haggle or budget!!'

Afternoon everyone
Another 15p in tea room floor change this morning. My usual £2 going into the pot when I get home tonight.

Good to see more new members joining us for the next installment of SPC

I done the sameas LC2 wrote a long post before & the thing disappeared

So to end. Please make sure you have your membership number in your signature for me please as it makes life easy when we're doing the grand total on the 1st December.

Stay safe everyone & keep saving

Jakes-mum !!! How can you complain .Wrapped up, and put under the tree!!! I usually get mine in the carrier bag from the shop and best of all it has BEEN KNOWN FOR THE RECEIPT STILL TO BE IN THE BAG Great husband wouldn't swop him for the world but doesn't do romantic or present wrapping :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Well by wrapping I didnt mean actual wrapping paper and cellotape, more box bought from tesco with a lid . . . oh and under tree actually meant, propped up on fireplace on their own so I thought they were decorations for most of the time we (as in they) were unwrapping gifts until he pointed them out :rotfl: :rotfl: but I did love the jumper I bought and it complemented the tshirt I also bought that was in the other box beautfully :rotfl:

Hi Everyone

A bit of a dull day here. Just back from taking the 3 GS to see Father Christmas.

They still believe so they were really thrilled and he was a lovely Father Christmas. Two picked helicopter presents the other one a truck . Yes, You've guessed moans and groans when we got home he wanted a helicopter, Anyway settled for a balloon in the end, Then they all wanted balloons and the helicopters and truck was forgotten!!:rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Oh, thanks for that, jakes-mum, I really giggled so much on reading that, let alone imagining him doing say - especially under the pseudonym of jakes-mums-son!

Just a thought, but in some ways in 20 years time I can't imagine us being ready to tackle a SPC 25, but on tother had...I can't see us not doing so! Where's that *confused* smilie when you need it!

Another giggle LC 2 after all do sparks and I really need keeping in line? Well OK, the jury's still out on sparky, but me?......NEVER!!! I'm sane and normal.

(:undecided I am normal an I'm sane, I know I am, I am sane I am)

This place seems to be slightly loopy today, best remove myself before I catch whatever it is.
