    Hi everyone :wave:

    I came on MSE last night and forgot to post my pot for the day. So last night I fed Rosie £1.40 and £2 coin in the hols pot. Today its 53p and £4 in x 2 £2 coins. :D

    Sue, trust me to read it wrong, no need to apologise darling. I just worry about you but I know your being sensible and your DH will make sure you don't over do it ;)

    Still not done all the housework, I do need to get a grip, she hangs her head in shame :(

    Hope everyone is safe and well, and thank goodness its all a little quieter on the streets let hope it stays that way.

    Have a good day tomorrow everyone.

    TTFN ;)

    A very good morning folks. I'll bet it's quite wet for many of you, whereas so far, it's quite nice here. Enjoy your day whatever the weather and look forward to the weekend. :j

    Tis no good Footie, I am not being enticed into doing that blessed housework! :naughty: Pull the proverbial finger out then start at the top and work to the bottom, you'll get there with some music on. Make it a Zumba beat and you'll be through it before you know it....and lost a couple of Lbs!!! :D No problem about getting hold of the wrong idea, tis usually me. I wouldn't be without my beloved DH, he's an absolute treasure, you too for caring my friend. ;)

    I won't say a word about your Dad, scuba...or what you said about what your Sis could do for you!!! :silenced: :shocked:

    Hi there Observer! Don't worry I often see your's and Kerry's trademarks and it's good to see you're with us often; it's lovely to know folk care enough to read our posts, better than talking to ourselves! :) Keep up the saving. Yes, I know you will. ;)

    Oh dear hammiehunter, I do sympathise with the charity tins, but it's good to do our bit, especially with kiddies present. In future before you leave home why not check to see if you've got a couple of coins with you to do the job more affordably. We have to stay 1 step ahead of our kiddies! ;)

    Good to see you Helen, hope you had a good time at the 'do' and will enjoy the wedding. Keep saving hard and it's amazing how much you'll save, how fast that 4 years will go too!!

    £2.63 in the pot for me yesterday after shopping. Less than I'd hoped, but that's how it goes. I always used to 'bag' the £1 after taking the Morris*ns trolley back til hubby found a bloomin token to use each time instead. Darn that thing!!! :mad:

    You're all saving so very well folks, keep at it and you'll be so proud in December. I love doing this thread and seeing the joy that comes after the delight from you all on opening your pots. Keep firm ALL. :D

    It's amazing how quickly it all builds up, I have to agree!

    They annoy me too, they make me forget I have put in a £1 coin but I aways remember the little worthless tokens!
    Thank you competition posters!
  • :hello:

    Potted a nice shiny golden coin tonight - it's been a while since I've had a spare one of those :D

    Well done on your losses this week robedha and Footie :T. I actually had a loss of a whopping 3.8lb - checked it 3 times Footie :p. Must say it was long overdue but I have been a good girl most of the time and have been making the most of my new gym membership. We are heading in the right direction and thats what matters ;)

    Thanks for all your support Sue and for keeping us going :T

    Enjoy your weekend everyone (I can hear the rain atm - its absolutely tipping it down :()

    So much for my NSD yesterday-tea tasted off and as we are on a plane for 9 1/2 hours today couldn't risk eating it so a quick trip to Mr S for some basics shepherds pies-meant I had 42p change for the bottle.
    See you in a couple of weeks!
