    So sorry to hear your redundancy news, JeremiahHuff , but you have a wonderful attitude to the near future, goo for you. You're never alone here on MSE and are now part of the SPC family. :grinheart

    Oops, would I ever be that mean to you? :shocked: NO!!! I meant 'old' as in [STRIKE]well travelled[/STRIKE] one of the original members, see how much better could I put it. :smileyhea Lovely too see you regularly.

    mcjordi, to be absolutely sure, why not take a little more time so you are 100% certain. Having said that, you sounded very happy about it all yesterday so don't let others push you to where you don't want to be!

    To all recently joined members
    of our ever-extending family, it will be all of YOU too who are so thrilled with all your savings next year! :jIt'll soon come too!

    So, get your hands off your pot, LAM!!!!! :angry: Yes, you'd better be joking too, we get enough of those thoughts in October/November time - so don't even think about it in December!! :mad:

    Good Heavens ModestyB ...I know sparky's reaped some like that before (he has with most things, but we won't go there :() but how could people NOT realise, let alone see???! :lipsrseal Though I suppose some elderly folk's eyesight isn't always good to pick up on it, bless em.

    Only 27p in the pot today just a bit of odd change. Still every bit counts.

    DH still has a sniffle(cold) (flu) (pneumonia) so still moaning.

    He managed to eat homemade steak and kidney pudding and chips not because he was hungry he hasn't any appetite but to keep his strength up!!!

    Apparently he needs his strength living with me:eek:
