URGENT SUE
This is getting out of hand why is everyone coming to Warrington? No wonder I can't find road kill.
x LC2
Well, Sparky and LC2. the trip into town netted me 2p found under the handbags in Marks & Spencer:j:j
Also came back with loads of change so the whole lot got flung into the pot to make up for the last three days.:DSealed Pot challenge #59SPC5 total £473.600 -
You're most welcome to join us, moneysaver13 and evie45. It's lovely to have you with us.
Have fun saving. You'll find your number 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 number on your sig, it helps so very much
All the best with your Target, Mandy, you can do it!! :ji decided this challenge isn't for me it would seem i'm not comftable with large amounts of cash in the house, i took any notes out of my pot before xmas and i've just counted up all the change i have £33 in poundcoins (which i've threw back in the pot to use for the kids dinner money) and £5.14 in change, good luck to you all i would do the virtual sealed pot but i already do something similar because i'm saving for a house
Hi quintwins, sorry to hear of your wish to leave so soon, would it not make sense to take out the large amounts and pay them in to the bank or BS to go towards your house in the future?
Very good idea, Maz, all the best in winning more!
Take no notice, Crunchy Nutter, I was just having a laugh, we all have corners...especially the hubby corners!
Well, I definitely had a brilliant Christmas, lozzy, I hope you did too. A Happy New Year to you also.
ooooh look out now then, Lookingtothefuture. So, if the kiddies find any - do they give it to Mum or Dad - or keep it themselves? Or do the pots grow in number???! This is going to be fun to watch! :j:D
Keep up with helpng DH, DorsetGirl, he'll never be able to thank you enough...and that's a fact!!! :rotfl:
Wonderful news, Kerry. It looks as though the storms are coming back again here, not quite so windy though.
Keep safe going home everyone!
I thought so, sk56, no problem. You really don't have to keep an account of your Total though.
Well done, nanto3girls, to count them or not is fine, everyone should please themselves.
Well done with it all, Oops!!!!! :TThough knowing LC2, she'll be out there tonight trying to make up that 2p!!! Keep brushing LC 2! :j
Keep a look out in the newsletter folks as I let Martin :money: know how well we'd done before Christmas as well as thanking him for the opportunity for us all to save, and he replied back to say he'd try to get it in there so I've given him the new Grand totalGrand Total of £42.271.99!!!:grinheart
Martin's words "Woo hoo sounds great, let me see if I can get it in the weekly email."

Hello potters.....
Well managed to survive the shoe ordeal :rotfl::rotfl:
Went to Clark@s and guess what their childrens shoes stop at 61/2. Was polite but did have a rant that as kids are growing they don't seem to keep up with the sizing.
After trolling all shops in town went to Asd@ and got a pair of shoes for £10. Not leather but if they manage to last this short 5 week term it will be a result. All bits of sale stock everywhere so may try again in a few weeks when the shops get more full price stock in.
Wasn't as painful as I thought even with the 2 youngest in tow. Did blackmail with sausage rolls from their favourite shop!:T:T:T
