    It's never too late to join us, Ghostlove. A warm welcome aboard and have fun saving. :D You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through the 1st post as it'll let you know exactly how the challenge works.

    Please pop your number on your sig, it really does helps.

    Many thanks, sparky and girls, no rock, sorry folks, but we had a wonderful day yesterday, then made plans to go out today as well, it was absolutely brilliant!!! DS and his lovely Wife have both been on holiday this week (they live just a mile away) so we decided to catch up on shared hobbies and fun in general.


    Pleased to hear you're back on the OT, sparky, here's to the mortgage!

    Lovely to see you, starnac, your talk of your little lad made me go all gooey inside, nothing quite like cuddling a sleeping baby/child, bless em. How about a cuddle from me, please.

    Brilliant LC 2!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl:

    SUE....you should revisit and take in the stunning views... But not over the next 6 weeks the roadworks over Tuckton Bridge are casuing a disaster with the traffic! :D

    ooh we will do for sure, Sam! We go to the New Forest (home) as much as possible and love popping down to the coast to drink in the beautiful views, hopefully we're going camping in NF in May. The times we talked about going home for good, not so easy after the kiddies became teenagers, then Uni, then married - then with kiddies; well one of them so far. Thanks for the heads up about the roadworks at Tuckton, it's busy enough there as it is!! Hope you had a good time on Friday too.

    Good luck with your the 3D TV fund, electrobix99.

    Lucky you with a pair of blackbirds nesting front and back, mishmogs, though how you can talk about nature so sweetly - then say you opened your cat's head????!! Do let us know how the blackies go, they should be ok to rear them. Ours had the gall to collect loads of material from our garden - then whip of the ruddy fence with it!!! :mad:

    Well done for getting your own back on your OH, EllaBeagle! Still, at least you've got it sealed now!!! :angry:;)

    Now who does that remind me of back in 2008, sparky???! I don't need to now, he gives it voluntarily! :D

    :eek: I'm shocked at that, mumof3plusoh, I thought you were a model potter, wrong obviously.


    You're so right, zafiro, it IS a way of life! Good to see you again, thought you were like the chicks - bit gone off potting.


    Don't let the loss of the change get to you, Janey, you'll be on your toes from here on. Have a good weekend and get some rest.


    What a strange rabbit you've got, elizabunny, though he/she obviously thinks you watch the box too much.


    ooooh you took a huge chance power sanding indoors, nu1isit?!!!! Hold a Hoover by it at the same time in future. Men! :(

    So good to hear your Sister has paid you back, Ruth!!! Not long either.


    Have a super Sunday, everyone.

    Hi all, potted £5.10 today, I actually got 2 x £2 coins in my change so they've gone in with a handful of silver and coppers. I saw an extra large sealed tin today for £1, it's got spiderman all over it but it could be covered. I might nip back and get one for when my small tin is full. there were quite a few there.

    Glad you've had such a nice time with your family Sue.
    Welcome Ghostlove, you'll like it here, everyone's so nice and caring.

    P.S. I've been trying to change my avatar and it won't upload my pics, does anyone know what's wrong please?

    Potted £5 this week.

    Plus 4p road kill. Can't remember who started it, but if they'll let me, I'm gonna put my road kill into it's own pot & use it for my scooter. I don't think I'll be able to save as much as him with his Tea Room road kill, but if I save £15 for my road tax, then it's a win. :)

    I'm not surprised your DH gives his change up voluntarily, he must have been fed up having to sew up the holes in his pockets where you had sliced the stitching :D. I think you're still passing on your teaching's to some of the ladies on here, so they'll always be "Sue's Pocket Raiders" ;)

    Glad you had such a great time with the family, many more to come. :)

    That'll be me then :D. With another 35p tea room floor change from yesterday, have to see what pickings there are for me after production has finished later ;)

    Good morning to the rest of the gang, I potted my usual £2 last night along with some extra change fron DW after a shopping trip, she also had a lovely £2 coin for the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund.

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving

    Hi,

    Welcome to the forum of fun!! We are all potty on here :D!

    Have managed to pot £2.70 today. Also, my mortgage statement came today and balance is £1,000 lighter! Verrryyyyy happy!

    My Sparky, you sure are inspirational! Hope your day is not too hectic at work. I am sure Mrs Sparky will be waiting for you to come home with a lovely dinner on the table :cool:

    Have a super weekend, all.

    Morning Susanne
    Unfortunately, as lovely as my DW is, she can't cook for toffee :rotfl:. She's the only woman I know who can burn water :rotfl:. I'm afraid the cooking is down to me, or we'd live off takeaway's or starve to death :D
