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
Oh my Sparky, she sounds like me. I need directions in words of one syllable to find the kettle in the kitchen. But I do try. I have already managed to burn soup, seriously! My DD at the age of 18 cooks faaaaarrr better than I do. Must be down to sheer necessity or else she would be a size 0. The one thing I do well is a mean goulash!:eek: so not all bad.
Another £2.85 into the pot yesterday evening. I am over the 10% mark .... lovvveeeellyyyyy .......

Evening folks and I hope you've had a good day.Only time for a quick hello right now, I'll try to get back later, but please don't hold me to it just in case.
No money in the pot as another NSD.
Still, good to see others saving where possible.
Have a lovely and restful evening folks.Sue x

Are we allowed to put notes in our pots, or only coins?I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.0

Pop whatever you feel able to in ghostlove.
Sorry I've been absent for so long folks, finally sent Mr S off to play soldiers for the summer so have been doing a bit of spring cleaning....all his things are now put away where they can't annoy/upset me (one of my two coping strategies, the other being booze with my mate round the corner, lol).
In the middle of emptying my work tin to get it counted and banked, and have been plugging away putting small change in to my main bottle too, plenty of road kill in my new area which is nice.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

In that case, I just potted a fiver, and Mr G matched me, so there's another £10.00 in there. I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.0
