Afternoon everyone
After feeling sick and dizzy all weekend I'm feeling better today so went out with Mum for lunch and she gave me a gorgeous £2 coin!!! I'm really chuffed because I haven't had one in ages, mainly I usually get them in my change from yoga, which I can't do at the moment.
When I gave my card to the lady to pay I was just about to put in my pin and I couldn't remember it! My mind went completely blank! My Mum helpfully explained that I was recovering from a general aneasthetic and hadn't been out of the house in a week and the lady asked if I'd had a labotomy!! Luckily my pin number popped back into my head and we were able to leave. What with that and the fact that I was worried someone would notice that I can't do up the button on my jeans (because one of the incisions on my tummy is underneath it) - I think I may stay in for a few days before venturing into the big wide world again! :rotfl:
Anyway nothing into the whisky bottle today, the £2 will go into my moneybox and I get paid tomorrow so can update my total savings for January soon"It is often said that before you die your life passes before your eyes.

Ooooo I was so :mad: this morning as Miss Lily has lost ANOTHER tube of toothpaste, why can't children brush their teeth in the bathroom?? Why do they wander round the rooms with a brush in their mouths and just put stuff down willy nilly?? . . .
Not just mine then jakes mum :rotfl:...The big one doesn't bother, but the little one's like lightning with that toothbrush and paste - if she gets the chance...I'm always scared I'll turn round, and she's expressed herself all over the walls, using the medium of toothpaste and free expression :eek:
:eek:...
A lovely 10p from us today :j:j...

found 1p roadkill today waalking back from the doctors. Yay! Although we may have a disaster, our sewing machine hasnt been sounding healthy at all and we've just had a look and we suspect its seized up. I'm really hoping we wont have to buy a whole new machine, i just have no idea how we could pay for it. I wouldnt even worry about it but we've got several craft projects on the go that require a sewing machine! Plus they're meant as gifts!!Was debt free then ex walked out and COVID hit.0

Evening everyone
My usual £2 potted today, plus about 80p shrapnel "donated" by my DW, also got a £2 coin & 2 X 50p's for the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund. When I got to work today one of the lads had £3 in silver asking if I wanted to swap it for £ coins, so that's going in the pot when I get home about 01:15 in the morning.

Hi all, one shiny £2 coin plus an extra £1.46 which includes 4p roadkill into the pot tonight. We've decided against the Valentine's Night meal at the local pub. For one, it's at night! :rotfl: We hate going out at night. For two, it's too bl**dy cold and looks to get colder. So that means a lovely £20 to add to the pot.
I'm not going to bother with an ISA to put my SP money in. For 0.25% it's not as good as putting it in the BS account. I'm going to write it all down in a book so we know exactly how much we've saved over the year.
Hugs to everyone.
Keep warm.
