I'm so excited and I just can't hide it - I can't get this damned song out of my head - you know the one - Pointer Sisters I think. It's really doing my head in now. :eek:
Must remember to stock up on money bags - bet there will be a nationail shortage of them once us lot get our supplies ready. :rotfl:
You have me singing it now. Can't believe it's all systems go on Thursday. Wednesday will be a bit like Christmas Eve feels when you're a kid. :j

Whew... it's been a while I have been busy with my pregnancy and now a 6 week old newborn!!! But I have still been saving and during my pregnancy we potted £24!! Which has now been banked. My new total is £1.90. Starting to regain a routine so will hopefully be posting more often. I have also got DH into the habit now, and I think he ended up potting more than I did!
Lots of lovely totals there... and hope you're all having a lovely day! x0 -
Hiya jakes-mum, I just knew it as soon as you said you were going shopping tother day! You devil you!
So, for the Total of you both..well, very well done on a great amount. :T You've done extremely well and to pay a chunk off your CC is brilliant!!! :j
Not surprised you're already into 2012's pot, all the best with that too.
