  • Happy New Year Potters, All The Very Best For 2012
    Had a fantastic night last night. We hosted the party for 17 of us (4 families). Played a board game which hubby and I managed to lose as usual. Popped the party poppers and Champagne at midnight. Then sing star and cocktails until about 2ish, finished off watching Peter Kay until gone 3. Quick tidy up and dishwasher on and a brew then bed at 4.15. Added bonus no hangover!!!:j

    Have now decided cocktails are the way forward. We are having a cocktail party in a few weeks time now. Used some of the booze in my cupboard that haven't seen the light of day for years. Very MSE as only need to buy fruit juices.
    ;)

    Hope everyone had a fab night. Potting £2 as usual today.

    Have a great evening everyone. Back to work on Wed, that will be a shock to the system. Oh well it is an inset day so no kids back till Thurs.:)

    All the best x

    Hey there

    Could I possibly join this challenge. New to the forums, and just trying to give myself some challenges for the year.

    I've got several pots that I can seal up with no problem - and actually found a pile of 5p's, 2p's and 1p's in my coat pocket today.

    Also have decided that when I take my lunch to work, instead of buying out each day I will add £2 to the pot.

    Can I join in too, please? Haven't been very disciplined in the last few years.

    Would be nice to put some cash away for Christmas 2012.
