    Of course you can join, Northern Princess! A very warm welcome to you. biggrin.gif Have great fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 3 of page 1. Please read through post 1as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    * Please pop your number on your sig, it helps so very much

    Jumping jacks are my speciality, Kerfuffle, though I really must try stopping doing so when I'm typing. :(

    Thanks a lot for that recurrent-ostrich.

    You sound far happier with the 'surprise' part too, zafiro, so I'm really pleased you asked the question.

    You've obviously had a great time with your GS, LC 2, good for you, though you wouldn't think it possible for just a £1!!!

    Hi there Kirsty!!! :hello: I've replied to you on 4, but I'll enjoy saying again just how delighted I am for you you're saving really did pay off - excellent news!! :T
    I'm so sorry to hear about the op, but no wonder you're feeling as you do after all that time in the theatre! Mine was an hour & 1/2 so you really did have problems, but with infection in there as well, little wonder. Once you begin to get over it and when things settle down in there you'll be feeling so much better, Kirsty. Very strange about the dust allergy though - I had the same..or the tests I had showed I did. However after months and months of anti-histamines I don't have any allergies now!!!! I am positive that the polyps I had and all the other congestion mimicked a dust allergy! I was becoming so low with it (streaming all the time) I read up about them, and saw how the immune system should, where possible, be allowed to put itself right and that's what happened to me, this is my first 10 months free!!! Take note of what I've said and a bit further down the track have a word with your Dr. Wear the masks when you get back to work (you need the nostrils protected from ALL dust for a while) and if possible buy some from a timber firm (the type men wear (my DH) for wood turning) that are thicker. Actually, I'll be in touch, promise.

    Hi jasperconran, get some bags from the bank or local post office; count the cash and put the correct amount in each bag (it tells you on the back) then take it to the bank or PO. DON'T take them to any machine, they'll charge you a whopping 8%!!!! :eek:

    LOOPY! ME! Can't be me! Lol! I was wondering where the sounds of singing and dancing were coming from every night! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:As long as they're all happy together I don't mind. :beer:

    Aha...I knew I wasn't alone, ModestyB, you should hear LC 2 (luckycharlie) though!!!! ;) (and we thought we had problems). At least you don't have to wonder about the sounds anymore!

    It's good to see you back, JD, so pleased you're safe up there, saving too! :)

    Brilliant kansaskitty, now you're away, but don't worry as I can only put money in once a week after shopping.

    I hope you've ad a wonderful 'do', Debt_free by 201, well done on the cash.

    Thanks a lot for that, DorsetGirl, I lead a sheltered life - obviously.:(
    So, the great weigh in is under way then, Mel, a pound already?!!!!

    That's not THAT bad, BlushingRose..keep hunting.

    DH & I went for a brisk walk just before dusk and there near the verge were 2 pennies...it made my day!!! I can only think that maybe some people are a bit deaf and don't hear them drop..but at lest we're soon there to rescue the poor little mites.
    Have a really lovely weekend everyone and whatever you do, keep safe, healthy and SAVE!

  • Evening all.

    Elle sorry to hear that you didn;t get the job. We I always say that it is their loss and hopefully something better will come along shortly.

    Kirsty glad the op went ok. Sorry to hear of your allergy to dust. Fingers crossed you will get your job sorted.

    Well had some good news yesterday. Had results from DD1 grade 3 flute exam. She passed with a merit and bless her she was only 2 marks off a distinction. I was thrilled for her but she was gutted she didn't get the distinction. She is such a perfectionist (gets that from her dad). Another very proud mother moment.:j

    Been to watch her play with the school concert band tonight and she is playing at the school in 2 concerts next week.

    Well £2.04p potted tonight.

    Have a cosy evening everyone.;)

  • Morninggg Potters,

    Ive potted my daily 3.00 x 2 for Saturday and Sunday plus some change, I am not keeping count.
    I will spend the day cleaning up, cooking and playing with the kids. I dont plan on spending anything. I put all my coins in the pot last night to avoid temptation hahahaha.

    Have a fab Saturday everyone x

    L.
  • ive decided not to count what i put in or i will find myself counting it all up and trying to spend it. i have an electronic money box where the total is on the top but thats broken so its just a money box but with all my coppers in it its getting quite full, so when it gets full do i change it up, put it back in and then carry on?
