You have a wonderful weekend too, ETO, enjoy yourself.
Oh very well done indeed, Stressed, you're well on your way now!
You're welcome to go shopping in the city, supasick, just imagining it is enough for me, and I moan about towns!
Hiya shorelines and well done with your savings, I left a message over there for you. I've updated your Target, all the best with meeting it - or going beyond - maybe....to infinity and beyond!!! :jSorry about that, just a puggled second or two.
Very good,Hiddenidenity, more than me for sure.
DorsetGirl, what the heck is a Mater tin?? :huh: I googled it and can't find a thing! Wouldn't say I'm curious..... Ah..well done with that 5p..now there's a good spot to check for 'spillage'!
I don't believe you repeated yourself, ModestyB. I'm glad it's not just me who's slightly loopy in thinking that what we put in our pots joins it's brothers and sisters - I bet they have a major reunion every night. A penny party maybe..?
Good work with the 4p, quintwins...is that 2p each?!

Hi Sue,
Still morning for me ( 8.34am), I'm on with my second cuppa of the day :rotfl:
Not much snow yet fortunately, every day without snow is treat for me :T, I think that once again the UK is getting more bad weather than us.
I hope you're keeping safe and warm, if not then do a few of these :j:j0 -

More for the pot. Are we supposed to record what's going in it or can we just have a surprise next Nov/Dec when it's counted. I'll record it - just in case that's what we are supposed to do - but I'd rather just put odd change in it as and when I have it.0

No, you don't have to record it. Most of us will say how much (ish) we've potted, but not keep a tally. I'm hoping for a big surprise next Christmas!Long haul supporter #290POAYDBX2014 #043LBM Dec 2011 Debt £51K Debt Nov 2014 £42K0 -

:santa2:Hi potters old and new!
I am defo joining in again for 2012! Am thrilled to have saved £340, as some may remember from my posts it is the first time we (I) have saved as a household and I loved doing it!!
Am 4 days post sinus op (thankyou Sue-UU for your kind words before my op :A) still v weak,some pain and v dizzy hoping that goes soon, surgeon said he had alot of work to do, was under 2 &1/2 hours as alot of congestion loads of polyps and infection in all my tubes (sorry if you are eating!) so my face is v raw inside and sore still. The worst bit is he told me he believes it is all caused by an allergy to dust,,now I clean 12 houses a week (5/6hrs a day) and LOVE working for myself,,but have been feeling so very ill constantly for over a yearI already wore a mask and used all natural products am so gutted I will have to stop work and find something else, am dreading telling my cleans due back with them all in Jan. Oops sorry, I have gone off topic (it is nice to unload though!) I have £150 saved left from my pot, and now more than ever I really am so grateful to this thread and joining the challenge, I would never have saved if I hadnt seen the thread,,THANKYOU to all that post. Looking forward to sharing our tales of potting lots of coins ready for a grand total next yr!
