    Hi everybody,

    Just a few pennies in the pot for me today.

    Hope you're feeling better Sparks
  • I counted my jar today and was disappointed to find that it only added up to £1.98.
    We're collection 5p and under atm as this is out first month without CC or OD so we have no idea how much (if anything) we'll have left at the end of the month, so we're being careful with what we put in. I was still expecting more than £2 though!
    Our LBM: Dec 2011. DMP started: Jan 2012. Debt at LBM: £41,568

    Oct 2012 = Current debt: £40,548.93
    Oct 2013 = Current debt: £39.054.70

    Morning everyone
    Sparky's feeling a whole lot better thank you all very much.

    10p tea room floor change on the way into work this morning. I'll be potting my usual £2 wneh I get home & DW donated 50p to the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund, also an extra 47p to the sealed pot (willingly I might add!)

    Last day of work today, so looking forward to a nice relaxing time off work away from the madness in here. Got one more trip to the super (?) market for the last of the fresh stuff, then I'm staying well away from shops until well after Christmas.

    Hope everyone has a good day, stay safe and keep saving

    After a long night of making love,
    the guy notices a photo of another man, on the woman's nightstand by the bed.
    He begins to worry.
    'Is this your husband?'
    he nervously asks.
    'No, silly,'
    she replies, snuggling up to him.
    'Your boyfriend, then?'
    he continues.
    'No, not at all,'
    she says, nibbling away at his ear.
    'Is it your dad or your brother?'
    he inquires, hoping to be reassured.
    'No, no, no! You are so hot when you're jealous!' she answers.
    'Well, who in the hell is he, then?'
    he demands.
    She whispers in his ear
    'That's me before the surgery.'...

    One day, a man came home and was greeted by his wife dressed in a very Sexy nightie. 'Tie me up,' she purred, 'and you can do anything you want.' So he tied her up and went golfing.

    A woman came home, screeching her car into the driveway, and ran into the house. She slammed the door and shouted at the top of her lungs, 'Honey, pack your bags. I won the lottery!'
    The husband said, 'Oh my God! What should I pack, beach stuff or mountain stuff?' 'Doesn't matter,' she said. 'Just get out.'

    A wife was making a breakfast of fried eggs for her husband. Suddenly, her husband burst into the kitchen. 'Careful,' he said, 'CAREFUL! Put in some more butter! Oh my gosh! You're cooking too many at once. TOO MANY! Turn them! TURN THEM NOW! We need more butter. Oh my gosh! WHERE are we going to get MORE BUTTER? They're going to STICK! Careful. CAREFUL! I said be CAREFUL! You NEVER listen to me when you're cooking! Never! Turn them! Hurry up! Are you CRAZY? Have you LOST your mind? Don't forget to salt them. You know you always forget to salt them. Use the! Salt. USE THE SALT! THE SALT!' The wife stared at him. 'What in the world is wrong with you? You think I don't know how to fry a couple of eggs?' The husband calmly replied, 'I just wanted to show you what it feels like when I'm driving.'

    Fifty-one years ago, Herman James, a North Carolina mountain man, was drafted by the Army. On his first day in basic training, the Army issued him a comb. That afternoon the Army barber sheared off all his hair. On his second day, the Army issued Herman a toothbrush. That afternoon the Army dentist yanked seven of his teeth. On the third day, the Army issued him a jock strap. The Army has been looking for Herman for 51 years.

    Morning everyone - great jokes Sparky.

    I just wanted to wish everyone a restful, hopefully stressfree Christmas - my last day at work and will probably be very busy over next couple of days but will pop back on next week. x

    (My pot is at work so that no other members of my family get any ideas so will have to hide any pennies to bring back with me in the new year :D)
  • Have put in £4.57 into the pot today.

    Wishing everyone a Merry Christmas.
