    Oh, luckycharlie, your last post did make me chuckle! Sounds exactly like me and DH on our shopping trips, I wonderjust how many couples are doing that on a Saturday morning jaunt to the supermarket?! :D

    Not much potting going on here (I will take your advice Sue and let DH join in a bit more ;)), but I'm not spending either, so that'll do me!

    It's probably going to be mayhem from now on, so I'll wish everyone a very happy Christmas. I hope you all have a wonderful time and Santa brings you what you've wished for!! :santa2:

    Just made up the change in my purse into whole £1 coins from last years sealed pot. Didn't actually go to the bank to cash the silvers and coppers in, so have lobbed about £10 into this years pot :D along with the leftover from changing up :)

    A very warm welcome, curioustom and samtoby, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourselves saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    *Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.


    Very good so close to Christmas, Raspberrysauce. :D
    Whatever else has been forgotten we will just have to do without.

    The times I've heard and said that, b_e_g, whether it be Christmas, holidays or whatever are countless, tis true though. oooh I do know what you mean about parcels strewn over the bedroom floors too, never sure whether to hoover over the top or what - yes, I'm just joking, though......:think:
    A 1p found anywhere, Muppet_baby is still classed as roadkill, well done with all of yours.

    Oh dear, LC 2, not the best of times then and at least you've given us a giggle with the way you tell it all. ;) You sorely lost out time wise though, men eh! I don't think my DH is quite like yours from the sound of it, though if I was organised my DH would wonder who I'd been replaced with - twouldn't be any good it it was you now would it!!! :rotfl:

    Ah..Kerfuffle...but the mild spells are always broken by the freezing cold - and SNOW glorious, glistening snow! :j I love to see it when it's pristine and no one's put their gert hooves in it, lovely. :dance::grinheart

    Many thanks for your greetings, Silver and I hope you also have a wonderful time and a New Year filled with all you need, same goes for everyone.

    What's this then, kerri, no clearings of the platform jewellery?? :eek: Or no Wbankers about. Well done with what you've potted.

    Hiya izzoh and well done you. plod, plod, plod :idea:, Is her alright I ask myself??

  • £7.20 into the pot from me today - think that will be it now until after Christmas as I am not planning to leave the house until Boxing Day.

    Anyways 62p today . . .

    Happy Christmas y'all:rudolf:

  • Put a fiver in today, and some shrapnel. I am finding that now I'm on this debt busting strict budget, I actually have less cash as I'm no longer getting £20 out willy-nilly like I used to. Having cash is such a rarity that I begrudge spending it, so it languishes in my purse for ages then gets potted! Was hoping to have about £500 by next December, but I think I'll have to bring that right down. It's good really as we're taking our debt down, but I'd love to open my pot to a huge total next year!
