I saw this on another forum and thought it would be useful for us here

Price rise in stamps :mad: - April 2012 - stock up now to avoid price rise

Second class stamps could go from 36p - 55p :eek: :eek: ( article goes into it more) at this rate no one will post anything

Thanks a lot for that seriouslyfrugal, surely another nail in the coffin for GPO or whatever they're called these days. I see Cameron condemned it - after all the increases he's given us!!!! Nerve of the man!:mad:

Better today but its an ongoing thing so just got to focus on the good. And stay positive.

An amazing attitude to get you (us all) through life, ETO, :kisses3: and marvellous news about the £30 saved!!

Rosy, why not have a pot for parking etc through the week, if you don't use it you can the pot it.

maybe I should pot the £50 my mum gave me as there's nothing I really want to spend it on and it's my birthday next month. I'll have to think lol. Maybe I'll just pot some of it.

That would be a great idea, Ruth, I do the same.

Ok I have a question Mrs Sue-UU, I changed my gas and electric a few months ago and got £50 in love2shop vouchers in the post today (even though I swapped back a month later ) now can I pot some of these, is that allowed? Or do we think this is cheating a little bit?? :think:

That's not a problem, jakes-mum, or at least I can't see one as it's no different than many of us putting our survey 'earnings' etc in. You have my blessing my child.

Still some amazing savings going on, folks, keep at it and have a lovely evening and a great Sunday!

Hi Everyone

Have only just got up. Had another migraine but on the plus side I might get away with not getting one while on holiday :T

There's always a silver lining :rotfl::rotfl:

No pennies for my pot but haven't spent anything either!!!

£7.14 potted today!! :j

I was going to keep the change towards taxis I need to get to and from a hospital appointment next week, but then I decided if I didnt pot it "just this time" then I would probably convince myself not to pot ALL change in future, which is what I am currently doing....

So into the pots it all went

Not had time to read through all the messages here, just want to stop by and report an NSD today, but I did find 16p in my makeshift pen pot (aka a hot chocolate tin filled with pens and other junk!!) :rotfl:

I have been decorating my (mini cheddars) pot with collage/decoupage whatever you want to call it, with help from my daughters, fun project with the kids

Enjoy the rest of your weekend everyone, time to kick back with a drink and a movie now :beer:

Hi Everyone. I would love to come back and try again. I missed last year due to the sad loss of my DM and 2 much loved pets. I didn't have the heart for anything. However, I did save a little bit in my pot last year. So if it ok I'll just leave it in and keep adding to it. I still have my number so can I come back please?:j

Hi elizabunny, it's good to see you're back. <<hugs>> for a difficult 2011, but lots of these :T:T for a brilliant year ahead.

Sue-UU

Hi LC 2, I thought you'd been quiet, now I see why. I sincerely hope you're right and you'll have a migraine free holiday.

Hellooo again, elizabunny! It's so good to see you back with us, though I'm so terribly sorry for your sad losses, all 3, but especially your Mum are such blows and take a good while to come to terms with.
All the very best, now and for the future. BTW, you don't need to ask to come back...we're here with open arms. :grinheart

Sleep well folks!

£2.43 for the pot today. Still not potted my £50 but that's cause I can't find it. Ooopps. At least i can't spend it though.
Elizabunny I am very sorry for you loss. I will wish for everyone's different pains to go away before I sleep tonight.

I know I'm stupid but is there anywhere I can find out what all the abbreviations are you guys use? I can't work out what half of them are
