* Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much
Welcome to MSE, fionamacf1.
quintwins use the jar by all means and profit from the £1, but do seal it securely!
Great news about the Tesco vouchers, Valued Opinions AND YouGov,
LC 2!!!! Brilliant!!! :T BTW, 20p IS good too!
So pleased you're so thrilled with the camera, elfen. Well done Mr elfen for taking any temptation out of his (and your) way! Sad he got himself into a sticky situation though, poor chap.
Oh what an exceptional start to the year, cupcakeprincess. Did you want me to put the £100 as your Target?? Well done with the 14p too.BlushingRose wrote:I tried that but it gives me an error message when I change my siggy
Did you definitely click to "save" it after putting your No on, BlushingRose?? Actually, you must have done something right as your No's on your siggy now! :grinheartBlushingRose wrote:I did read the first post, promise, but if it's a pot with sellotape on, I think the temptation might be too strong so I was hoping to get an actual pot - although I wouldn't want to actually break it if it cost a lot
I'm so sorry, BlushingRose, it just seemed that way with what you were saying; anyway, I see perfectly well what you mean now, so did you see the other bit I put on, the web site I bought some from - this one -> GiftsfromUnique....especially in the sale part! There are some great pots and very good prices from £3.99!! simplesaver told us all about it a couple of days ago and I'm sooo pleased.
I was so sorry to hear your sad news, e4rub, my sincere condolences to you and your loved ones. Cherish the memories you have of her, her wise words too.
That's a marvellous start, zafiro, you've made it extremely secure too, great news.
Well saved, caracara!EverTheOptimist wrote:I'm so going to have to resist the temptation to tweezer any pennies out, (obviously just to count them) maybe I should have kept a running total. I am so rubbish at this challenge I think it may have been my dowfall before.
YES! You are going to have to resist all temptations, EverTheOptimist and NO you are not rubbish at the challenge!Give yourself a chance, put it out of sight so you open the door, pop money in, shut door and start some work, go for a walk...anything to take your mind off of it. Give in to it and you will be so very disappointed come November 29th when everyone else is excitedly counting their money. Enjoy the surprise and.....prove to yourself that you WILL enjoy saving! :j
That's very good, Jackies, I honestly believe that saving without keeping a running total is the best thing to do. :grinheart
I'm pleased to hear your news, toriaterrier. I hope your little treasure is well, bless her.
fingersxed you did NOT ought to be telling her that, behave yourself or it's the naughty bench for you and NO sweeties!!!!!
I'm so pleased to hear you're still in with us, Winchelsea. Whenever I see your name I always think of your DH, you keep well too mind. :kisses3:
An excellent idea, Ellie_B!! :T Far less tempting, I'm positive about that.kerri_dfw wrote:sue I just tell it how I see it10p from the platform and a 20p by the top of the escalator found at bank station, I always feel happier when I know it's come from the bankers pockets wohaha
What more can I say to that, aside from keep at it kerri...rob em blind, they do us!!! :j:j:jmumof3plusoh wrote:Kerri you make me howl with your stories of collecting road change at the station and from the bankers pockets.;)
She makes me howl too - at the thought of her getting it all - and not me, mumof3plusoh!!!
