    How did you get your signature up in colour?

    I tried and failed earlier!

    I'm hopeless at this, lol

    Took me ages to even find the option to add a signature... :o
    I did what the above poster said. In the box there's the option to change fonts and colours. Just don't forget to click the save button after you're done (which I forgot to do twice).

    Adding another 5p to the pot after finding it in the washing machine. It's shiny and clean and smells daisy fresh :D. Makes up for missing out on that penny yesterday :p. Sorry for letting you and all the other potters down Sue. I hope i've more than made up for my dreadful error with my shiny 5p piece :p:D.

    Nothing went in to my pot today but I finally managed to get the last of my bags of change banked earlier - even with three branches on the one High Street I still struggled to get it all handed over quickly enough!

    Any more coats to rifle the pockets of, BlueCow?? :D

    Well done, keepcalmanddrinktea!!!! :T That really is darned good this early! Incidentally, "SPC 4 ~ Part 2£ refers to the year just finished, it was known as SPC 4, but then as there were so many posts on the thread we had to start a new one, hence part 2. By the way (BTW), I tried to help by sending you a PM earlier, but wasn't able to as they aren't allowed to be sent on your User CP. If you wish to permit them, then go to "User CP", click on it and from the list on the left hand side, click "Edit Options" and then put a tick in the box marked "Enable Private Messaging". Remember afterwards to go to the bottom of the page to "Save Changes". Please don't worry yourself to much about the threads and what to do, give yourself chance to look around MSE and get to grips with being a bit more used to it. If you're on a part where you don't want to be, look for the black "Forum" part at the top right of the page and that will take you onto the main forum. Any more help you need, please ask, just as you did earlier. You'll soon get to know your way around, til then you have friends in us all, use us. Sue x

    Oh, very well done, wannabee_in_credit and Daughter! ;) I can't help but agree that you involve her as much as possible, but don't forget, you're never alone on MSE with debt!!! We're either all in it or have been and you one day will be a has been, so to speak. :kiss:
    Sue - I have to say you are amazing, commenting back to everyone individually, your brain must be frazzled with everyone's goings on.

    Ah, don't be fooled into thinking I'm anything great, ETO, this is mostly just for starters to settle folk in and make sure they're ok, then I b - r off and let em get on with it!!!!! :rotfl: As for a frazzled brain, what brain? :huh: I'd need a frazzled one in order to keep up with all this lot, have you READ some of their posts??? LC 2 comes to mind, sparky 'n all, need I say more. :(

    YES catwoman!!!! A lovely lady (simplesaver, I think) came on the other day and pointed us in the direction of giftsfromunique.co.uk and today our lovely Postie delivered the 3 I'd ordered and I couldn't be happier with them! 1 was £11.99, 1 x £4.99 and the other £3.99. The only reason I shelved out for the dearer one was to go towards a gift to a very precious lad in DH's and my life and it was perfect!!!! :grinheart
    I'd recommend em for sure; have a shuftie in the "Sale" part too. Good luck, catwoman!


    Well done, Muppet_baby, a princely sum.

    How like-minded we are, greenanne though I do like Internet shopping, a darn sight easier and no getting bumped about and that's only the staff!!! :rotfl:


    Evening mudflower, you're forgiven, though keep your eye on the ball in future...and well done on the 5p! ;)


    A few coppers are always good, cutestkids and far better than none.

    Hiya scuba and what a relief that's all out of the way. I hope you're both well.

    Goodnight everyone, sleep well and have a safe, healthy day [STRIKE]tomorrow[/STRIKE] today.

    I am completely addicted to this! After finally counting my jars from this year and only keeping coins that made full pounds (a grand total of £97) I took all the odd types of coins that wouldn't make a full pound (ie if I had £1.15 in pennies then the 15p carried over) and added £1.23 to pot. Not that I am obsessive or anything of course!

    You be as obsessive as you darn well wish, Wyre, it's paying off in a grand way. All best wishes for a very healthy pot next Nov 29th! Fantastic news about your £97 saved, very well done you! :T
