    Quite quite gruesome moment there ..... for a while I thought you had turned favourite pet heads into piggy banks in some sort of frugal challenge_pale_.....:eek::eek::eek: something about seeing the word roadkillshall I take a day off?

    Oh and now my brain has gone into spasm and all I can think of is silly jokes.....like.....

    So when you are deciding which pot to put your coins in do you toss a coin - heads or tails?:o

    and at least if its really heavy, you can be sure noone is going to head off with it...

    Hope you get a £2 or twittwo soon - owl be thinking of you


    I'll shut up now :silenced: before you report me Thanks for putting up with me and making me smile:rotfl:

    xx
    k


    Hahaha enjoyed the jokes!!!

    heads or tails???? am not picky its all dosh to me!!

    the cats head is a pot cat with a slit in its head which I got from a CS for 50p as its bung had taken a hike. The owl is also from a CS again minus his bung, both are taped up underneath (sounds dreadful sorry!) to stop the monies falling out.

    At last, I have got 2 x £2 - yippee they are around, they came from DH pockets and there also lurked a couple of £1 and a couple of 50p and some silver.

    errr have got a lot of snow falling down here..... :( its flippin cold :(:(

    welcome back sparky am glad you had a great time:j
    Havent been on for ages as Ive had flu and my so called bff has been really nasty to me (which has really been playing on my mind) She went away on a 2 week cruise without saying goodbye just because I was in a bad mood last time she came round.:( I was panicking as I couldnt find a load of important paperwork for my oldest child which included his passport.:eek: Phew glad I got that off my chest!:)
    Have saved £6.21p since last loged in and found a penny near the computer not sure if ive added it in to the total but am going to recount in November anyway.
    I would love to go to New york am currently saving to got to Barcelona as I want to see the Gaudi buildings, the Dali museum and of course THE BEACH!!
    Take care everyone
