    oooh sparky, that sounds horrible. I hope you're feeling a lot better today, ahh that money will have helped for sure.

    That's good, Raspberrysauce and will all add up.

    Well done DorsetGirl!

    Sadly, Footiemad is missing, nu1isit?/LC 2,:( a rotten shame too as she fitted in with us so well. I PM'd her a fortnight ago, but still no answer yet.

    Another shiny £2 in piggy day before yesterday - I even let DH pot that one, he's been feeling left out, aahh :)


    Ahhh..that's awful, Silver..you'll have to let him pot one more often, bless him. I'm not one for the masses either, I hate it, but all's bought now, so no need to be amongst them any more. :j

    mumof3plusoh, I'm really thrilled for you as I know how happy you are! Well done! :grinheart

    You've done so well, kirstysmudge!! :)

    Brilliant mcjordi, I knew they did it, but didn't know how close to the expiration date you were. Good for you. :T

    Very wise, Hidden! ;)

    oooh that sounds delicious, LAM...and money in the pot too! Can't be bad. :D Not long now til you're finished work.

    Hi Kerry and a lovely sum to have potted.

    Oh LC 2, don't we ever remember that well, it should have been called Mr Gunge rather than Tumble.
    Just been reading your last post, LC 2 and shivered at the thought of going shopping at THAT time o day - then read the real programme of events. :D I wonder if we'll get a similar story to last time, that was a real laugh!
    Have a lovely, peaceful evening folks.

    Wish me luck everyone. Tomorrow morning I'm off to hit the supermarket for the Christmas food shop. It's going to be horrendous!!:eek::eek: Where do all the people come from? Don't they buy food the rest of the year?
    I got another £2 coin today for the pot. There seems to be a lot more of them about. Must be all the ones we paid into the banks earlier in the month.;)

    Afew coins potted today, but not keeping too close a check on how much.

    OH Sue

    Everytime I think about it I start laughing and it was sooo scary I mean lovely when it was finished :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Isn't it strange that it doesn't matter how long you have been married men never really understand how their wives minds works:rotfl::rotfl:
    I will have an early night tonight but there is no way I am going to Asda before 10 so there:p

    Still potting but not keeping a tab on exactly how much. The problem is I tend to shop with the card so cash is a luxury in this house. Anyway, anything I come across under 50p goes in. slowly slowly should be my motto

    Potted a few pennies today as thought I'd better empty my purse before going shopping so I didn't spend it! In the end only bought a coffee and lunch so might find a little more to pot yet. :)
