    Hi all

    Been a few weeks since I last visited. About £15.00 potted since I last popped in and another credit card paid off. That's 2 down and 2 more to go :T

    Hope you're all well & I'll try to visit more often now things have calmed down at work.

    Well done SteffieLou! I'm seriously impressed by your signature- that's really good debt clearance.

    Hi all another 22p for the pot. Am not a happy fluffy bunnie got a letter friday telling me I owe tax credits £550:mad: On ringing them they told me it goes back to 2008, am not impressed am appealing against it.
    I'm having a horrible loads of paperwork and ringing round day:( Take care.

    Oh don't you just hate the tax credits :mad: However don't let them tell you that you have to pay it all at once if you lose your appeal - I paid them back at £20 a month for 5 years when I had a similar thing. They seemed happy just to get something back - I hope that hasn't changed. Good luck with it.

    Today is our 30th Wedding Anniversary So I suppose it can't be that bad :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have been telling him it's our diamond anniversary (Well I don't like pearls) He doesn't have a clue about things like this and on google it even comes up as the modern diamond anniversary!!

    I explained we are modern. Anyway this morning he presented me with a lovely diamond pendant and said "I do know it's our pearl anniversary " :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Anyway out for meal tonight and family visiting as well so looking forward to a good day

    Enjoy the sunshine everyone!!

    What a sweetie you're married to :)

    My OH got back from London last night and presented me with some postcards.... I think he could tell i wasn't overly impressed so he took me for dinner :) At which, he told me he was planning on buying me some socks with the tube map on which would have been the best present ever. But, he didn't get them... Its the thought that counts i guess.

    I have over £400 in my pots now which, apart from about £50 is all change i would have just left in my purse and spent.... Thats crazy. Thanks for making this thread Sue and thanks to the rest of you guys for keeping it alive.

    I finally got my pictures to work (on the iPad at least) so i hope you can all see them. Although its a bit anti-climatic now :( lol. Turns out this forum doesnt like flickr...

    Here they are anyway. My pictures of the definition of roadkill. Its not even in my pot, its perched on top looking all impressed with itself reminding me daily to walk with my nose to the floor...

    Had to write this in the laptop and edit it on the iPad so the pics will be below here.

    Evening everyone
    LC2 HAPPY ANNIVERSARY XXX Have a great night out with the family. I wanted to buy my FiL a cigar for being married for 45 years and putting up with Hyacinth Bucket!

    Still potting some change but I haven't had any £ coind this week so I'll have to make it up at the end of the week.

    Five days until I open the road change pot to pay for the scooter tax, MoT & tank of fuel

    Sue I see you're still encouraging some of our lady members to raid their DH's pockets, there's no changing you is there!

    Have a great evening everyone, stay safe & keep saving

    Mr G put 97p in the pot yesterday. I have some to put in but I've lost it!
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
