    I'm not surprised, you have all been worked extra hard since Wednesday! Sparky, u mentioned your scooter, is it a "proper scooter, I mean vespa or Lammie?"

    Evening moomi
    It's a Vespa PX125 (with a 166 bore out) all "Modded up" 16 mirrors, spot lamps & flags, I've done the thenme to it as a tribute to the 9/11 fire fighters, I'm getting one of the side panels painted with the image of the 3 fire fighters raising the flag at ground zero and the other side panel is going to be the New York skyline with the American flag ghosted in ;). Plus I'm thinking of having the leg shield painted with the dedication to the 343 fire fighters who lost their lives on that day

    Hi Sue, can I join the challenge too please? As it's my first one I'm not quite sure how to add my number to my signature but I'm sure I'll work it out eventually :-) I'm now officially an OAP (prefer the term 'Senior' !) so am struggling to save anything at the moment. This challenge will, hopefully, spur me on to be even more frugal with my daily spend and £100 for Christmas would be brilliant at the end of this.

    The Boss will be with you soon, take a seat :D

    Hi Sue

    "How marvellous eh, Observer!!! We'll be going global soon...or maybe not!"

    Well to be honest I think you (we) already MUST be global as since I posted at 7pm last night, you have had well over 150 posts!! I too am struggling to keep up. All good though :) and I've potted a few odd pennies today. yippee xx

  • Hi Sue,

    I'd love to join in if it's not too late. We're saving for a deposit on a house right now. Not expecting the pot to make a huge dent in that amount but it will help with something we need when finally move into our own house. I've not done anything like this before but I'm inspired by all the posts I've read tonight! You guys are great!
