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


    You can start saving immediately mind, Pixie Fairydust and rasp. All the best and a Happy New Year to you also. :D
    Really looking forward to a party with special friends.:beer:

    Ahhh that's so lovely mumof3plusoh, don't forget I'll be bringing 1570 from here too! Special friends you said..ah NO silly me it's 1569 as you'll already be there. :D What if we ALL bought a bottle?!! :grinheart

    Your DD has the right idea of getting to grips with her camera, she'll have great fun if it has a 'macro' setting. for flowers or anything small, it's also good for portraits. I do hope you DS is lucky tomorrow, bless him, DD2 also with some spending. Have a wonderful time! :D

    ooooops Oops!!! :eek: Borrowing from a sealed pot? It is sealed I presume :( At least it was there for you and to put it back with interest, oh well you're in my good books again. ;)

    Very good with saving (whichever way you look at it) Mr B's 50p Ellie_B!

    Very good, DorsetGirl, a lovely sum.

    A tinkle or a thud curly, tis all the same to me, you too really I'm sure, how about we all have a tinkle!!! :rotfl: ooops, just realised what that seems like - which it isn't of course. :happylove

    Did a good "hoard shop" of cleaning products yesterday at W1lkinsons - a lot of stuff like Fairy washing up liquid, Carex antibac hand stuff etc... down to 90p or 98p. Put all the change from that trip in the pot when I got back.

    Put £3 I found behind my living room chair today in there too!

    Will be trawling the upstairs bedrooms when I get home from work as hubby takes his work trousers off and just slings them and shrapnel flies all over the place. He has been told if it's not in his pockets it's fair game!! :)

    Wondering whether to start a £1 a day jar for 2012 too - surely it can't be THAT hard....? £350 would sure come in handy at the start of December.....

    Continued good luck wishes to all!

    Sue, my pot is sealed (sort of) in that it has a lid and several layers of sellotape. ;)
    Of course, this is nothing to a crack safebreaker like me!!
    However I have re-sealed it and promise not to raid it again, not this year anyway!!:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
