    It was supposed to be a NSD here, but we've had a freesat fitted to the living room so that we can give Sir Virgin the old heave ho. We were already moving broadband and phone - if you have a cable phone you can't use any of the cheap providers they all want a bt line - now we can chuck the tv too. At a cost of £252 it'll be 12 months before we claw back the money, :eek: but after that it'll be free.:cool:

    Hi, It sounds like the screen is at more than 100% if it's cutting off the ends of the posts. Have you tried clicking on the arrow in the bottom right hand corner and putting it back at 100%. Just a thought.
    Oops x


    HI OOPALAH

    Hope the party goes well Jakes-mum...

    “Went home early yesterday, dosed myself up with tablets & cough medicine and went to bed, got up for work this morning and I can talk again, the lads in work are fed up with my voice already”


    You’ve got to make up for lost time sparky :p....

    “WOW! I've heard some things about Earl Grey before, but never of the type you seem to be experiencing, nu1isit?, maybe I need to have another go!”


    Ooooo Sue :D, it’s like a taste extravaganza :p...definitely beats the old floor sweepings:rotfl: :D :rotfl: ...


    It’s a lovely 10p for our pot today, contributed by the lovely DW :dance:.
    Happy Potting everyone :beer:.

    Have started afresh with my sealed pot just this week after raiding the pot prior to xmas and banking the proceeds. Not ideal but meant december wasn't fraught with a huge overdraft/credit card debt and meant I started the new year with only a small amount of my salary being eaten up before I started.

    Have decided to use my teramundi pot to save my coins and will save all coins other than 1p,2p and 5 pence pieces. Will be interesting to see if I can fill it before December 1st....
  • Well I've had a spendy day today so there's plenty of change to go into the pot. Must remember to keep a bit in my purse though - I keep getting caught out in car parks with no cash.

    Potted £1.82 today :) Found the £1 under my bed when I was decluttering! so thats a big bonus to me :j

    Also on post one it says "Any money given as a gift (other than Birthdays, Christmas etc) ie. inherited can not be included as savings." I sont mean to sound stupid but does that mean I can include birthday/Christmas money or not?
