    Debt-free and Proud!
    Just went to the shop and broke a fiver so I had some change to put in my pot! Bought some grapes and cranberry juice (reduced) and now I have £3.42 to add to my pots when I get home! This is cash I withdraw at the start of each month for my martial arts classes, but I have injured my back and haven't been able to do them this week. I thought I would try and put most of the saved money in my pots!

    Hi Sue, I'm trying to get early nights rather than getting up late or sleeping in the day because I know that will make it harder when I go back to work!

    There's usually more chance of getting 'droppings' from youngsters in half tern, Modesty, check out the playing field etc.

    Please take care picking up 'droppings' :eek::rotfl::eek::rotfl:

    It was on my 3rd circuit that I remembered it was half term and it was no use looking for schoolkid cast offs. :o
    What makes that worse is that I've got a grandson who's off this week and we took him out yesterday. :p:D


    I'm a teacher and it took me most of the day shopping on Monday before I worked out why there were so many children and teenagers around! I think the slang is 'der...'

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY Ruth! :bdaycake:
    I ruined a cake a while ago, it's so annoying!

    166million I hope your back gets better soon!

    A whole 5p in the pot today for me! Change from a cuppa tea with a friend. Also two £2 coins which means i've almost spent this weeks budget! Hopefully some end of the week change to go in tomorrow.

    Happy saving everyone!

    Nu1isit - DH says you can have me as then his change might remain where he leaves it :D

    Ahh Susanne, im not sure you could deal with the change scrum :D ive got sharp elbows and am not above pushing over old ladies in the street to get a penny, I even have a special stick to poke in the back of the legs of local teens when they stand in between me and some roadkill :rotfl:
