    How mean Zafiro that someone stole your eggs!! You have every right to be upset. ((HUGS))

    Welcome to the newbies .

    SPARKY

    Are you still doing overtime? Coming to visit Wednesday can I come and stand by the turnstile and look for roadkill?

    A very warm welcome, tiredanddesperate :o, fruityslh, madmoneysavingmum, Mrs Addicted to Spending, lou_mango, **tracey** and welshone27, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

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

    tiredanddesperate, so very, very sorry, tuiredanddesperate, I don't know how that happened, though possibly the cleaners at MSE Towers swept it right away! Forgive me, please as the No you have now is SO special!! :(

    madmoneysavingmum, it's wonderful to hear we've motivated you, terrific news.

    Mrs Addicted to Spending, all the best to you and hubby.

    lou_mango, that an amazing sum of £14154.41 saved already, all best wishes it meeting your June target.

    I back that up wholeheartedly, sparky, I love the thread and what it provides for us all. Long live the SPC!! :j

    Good to see you're well on your way, kkennedy, you too, Joyanne!

    Back to normal again today then, LC 2, does that mean DH gets to watch what he wants on TV?!!! :rotfl:

    You're doing well, Jen_Jen, stay focused.

    That was a lovely memory, Janey, a brilliant Dad too! ;)

    The pocket raid might have worked for you, Desperate Housewife, but zilch for me. :(

    £5.55 into my tin today. I like a nice round number :D

    Me too, DorsetGirl, I got O.OO :(

    Terrific news about the £60 CC pa off, moomi. :T Very sensible indeed. Isn't it so good to have a pay by date.

    A very warm welcome home, sams247!!:wave: It's always good to see members returning and you're as welcome as everyone else. Good to hear you've got your terramundi ready!
    65p to the pot today, not a lot but it would have only gone on chocolate if it had stayed in my purse which would have resulted in me gaining the wrong kind of pounds! :D

    Very sensible, Lookingtothefuture, it's great to always be viewing ways to save on things..off the waistline too. :D

    Hi Maz and well done..again!

    Well done on saving it rather than eating it, ModestyB!!! A healthy boost to the pot. :j

    44p on pavements etc in ONE day, yummy-mummy-Amy?!!! jakes-mum'll be spitting feathers as she's from there!!! :eek:

    Thanks for the info, Kerfuffle, so you could say you were a little bit loonie this morning. :rotfl:You ok today Kerf??!! Just noticed your reply to Oops and I'd be questioning it, in a nice way.

    I was under the impression Janey missed out as they were too expensive, Oops, it'll be interesting to see.

    A very sad shame, zafiro, but I suppose you always get them, though 30 is wicked! :eek: :mad:Why not sell them from the house and stop the rot just in case they return?!

    Lovely to see you, mishmogs and well done on roping hubby in!

    Plenty of thoughts heading your way, supasick.

    You be careful of any trains when getting trainkill, Crunchy Nutter!!!

    Ahhhh, you make sure you tell her you love her, nu1isit?, especially after a madras, bless her.

    Wonderful news, LC 2!!! I know about the VO but what's DM??? :cool:

    Well done Kerry and moneybear123!

    Sue x

    Just potted 2.40p thanks to the hens, but some mean person has just stolen a tray of 30 very large eggs and not put any money in the honesty box. They may think it's funny but I still have to feed the little dears no matter what. the word 'mean person' is quite a kind word on how I am feeling at the moment.
    Ok and sorry, as I know its a minor problem compared with what some of you are going through - moan over.

    That is dreadful, some people are despicable. :mad:
    Nice to know that most people are honest.
