    It's never too late to join us, SavingMonster, Guppycaz, AJGray and An Ecumenical Matter. A warm welcome aboard and have fun saving. :D You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through the 1st post as it'll let you know exactly how the challenge works.
    * Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much.

    All the best, An Ecumenical Matter with saving enough for you pup!

    [Qute=Joyanne[/quote]Well got my new terramundi pot today but I can't work out how I'm gonna get my money back out without smashing it, it's so lovely that I don't think I want to smash it, so I hope u all have some good tips when Nov comes x[/quote]

    There's absolutely no need to smash your terramundi, Joyanne, full instructions are on Page 1. They're far too precious to smash!!! :mad:

    Ruby, £4.72 in 5 days is very often more than a lot of us can dream of, you're doing very well, I promise you. Be proud of it.

    Many thanks again, LC 2, you must deserve a star. :staradmin

    I'm hoping you're feeling much better, jakes-mum. Sorry, I didn't even notice your post yesterday though I was in a hurry which would account for it.

    So sorry to hear of your run of bad luck, JJ. Lets hope those that call themselves plumbers do a better job next time! BTW, what a lovely piece you have below your post, very nice indeed.
    Have a lovely evening all, a lovely day tomorrow too.


    Sue x

    Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.
    Please read the 1st post on Page 1 first so you know what's what.

    £1.34 today, change from the PO

    Good news - I caught my DH potting some change after he had been shopping - that's a first. Says he doesn't like change, says it wears a hole in his pocket. I was in total agreement:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Welcome lashley82
    Sue will be along with your number later, so consider yourself part of the gang, just to warn you there's a couple of trouble makers on here, Luckycharlie & Jakes-mum, they'll try to lead you astray by pretending they're good, don't be drawn in "They're trouble them two, I tells ya" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Enjoy the banter but most of all enjoy saving, while you're waiting for your number have a read of post 1 page 1, that explains everything :D

    Hi all, lots of hugs to those that need them, I think a hug button is a brilliant idea but until we persaude Martin to give us one have these...

    :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug:

    Potted £2.02 today, a lovely shiny £2 coin and the change from my coffee at lunchtime - I let myself have that 'cos I met a friend for lunch and took my butties - it's OK, not a cafe, just the food outlet at work!

    Have a good evening potters. Ooh, here's 40p in my pocket, I'd better pot that too :)
