* Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much.
fozzypenfold, do you mean you want to save all the stated Funds as Targets £50 for the year..or amount to save per week??
Kymbo666 what a lovely idea, Kym, DH & I had ours on our 31st anniversary and it was magical!!! To answer your question, yes it'll be ok to include payouts from Quidco, you're not the first, so fine!
Quidco, samtoby, is a site you join and ten buy things via them and they give you so much off your purchases. Sparky could explain it better, but Google Quidco and you'll soon find out. No doubt sparky will see this and answer you in a better way
Not to worry, fozziebeartoo, at least you've made a start which is really good! Be patient, if possible!
Good for you, Lost.
Thanks for that nu1isit?, didn't we do well.
That about sums up Quidco, mumwithamission, beats mine but I'm not removing it now.

2p in the pot for me today. Was going to be more but I got seduced by the Christmas wrapping paper in clint ons cards reduced to just 37p a roll, so grabbed 4 for my little girls presents this year.Thermomix Santander Sainsburys Creation Loans Fluid Card Tax Credit OP

Right. I am going to give this a go so please can I have a number?
As I am currently unemployed I am setting my target at £100, though this will increase when I get a job (it is my other target for this year)
I also get the fun of making and sealing a pot.
Will use my funds for Christmas next year, hoping to do home made gifts for next years christmas so maybe I will end up with that wonderful, but rare, 'under budget' feeling?

*I have no sig but will work it out asap*

hiya all fellow potters
what a day yesterday we had the wind blow our gazebo up and luckily hubby had tied it down but it still had a gust of wind lift it up and it crashed on the patio missing our french windows, and the steel poles have bent with such force, so unfortunatley, its unrepairable as its split some of the side panels too,
never mind it was covering some garden stuff and we were planning to buy a new one in the spring, we have now used the panels to cover the garden stuff
so hope you guys are all safe out there
ive potted a savings on some oranges from mr c. . p today of 63p
so thats me for the day
have a fun day all maz:cool:Sealed Pot Challenge member 1525

Hi Maz, so sorry to hear of your incident with the gazebo, though could have been a whole lot worse. Haven't heard any other windy horrors yet and ets hope we don't. Well done with the panels and the cash!
