    Just had an idea.

    Since my pot isn't sealed - big Quality Street tin. I may give it to my mum with instructions to only let me empty it in August :D

    I do it all because I'm scared.

    Only 6p roadkill today for the pot but I've just realised I have £7.50 on my Nectar card so when I use it that's a bit extra to feed the pot. :)

    Jake's-mum, I'm glad to hear you're getting better. Was a bit worried you'd have to liquidise your Xmas dinner and drink it! :rotfl:

    Hope everyone is well and you all have a wonderful Christmas and a very prosperous New Year. :xmassign::santa2::rudolf::xmastree::snow_grin

    Well done potting everyone.

    Not been on for a few days. Jakes mum sorry to hear you have not been well, hope the antibiotics are working now.

    Well finally finished work today. Only DD2 school and mine where I work were in for the last 2 days. DD1 and DS finished on Fri. Well we can join them with a day off tomorrow. Bliss. Got to be up though as new stair carpet being fitted tomorrow morning.:T:T:T

    Hopefully do some parcel delivering tomorrow.

    You're most welcome to join us, 1463emma. It's lovely to have you. biggrin.gif Have fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.
    * Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much

    1463emma, the best way to scrimp and save as much as possible is to pop all your change or left over cash into your Sealed Pot, it's surprising what you're able to save that way. Also, pop over to the "Moneysaving Old Style" boards where you'll get LOTS of help to knock £s off your food bills. :)

    What a huge boosts is gives when we find cash like that, fishcakes, brilliant!!! :j

    97p is just great, Hkirsty1971!!!

    A fair enough idea, elfen, but why not seal it all round with cellotape, it'll help you get some self-discipline. Whatever YOU think is best is the right thing to do though. ;)


    Good thinking, ModestyB, it'll all help you - the 6p too!

    Oh, very good, Mudflower, you too, izzoh.

    That's going to be a LONG trek for you to deliver all down here, mumof3plusoh, of you shouldn't. :rotfl: Good to hear you're off now too, and it's sooo good to think about your new stair carpet being fitted as I know just how delighted you'll be with it. :grinheart Contain yourself though and not too much of this :j on it!! ;)

    Goodnight everyone and have a lovely Wednesday.
