    Well done b-e-g! It's best to set down the rules where chaps are concerned ;) Had he already sussed what you'd done with SPC 4 in the end?

    Well Sue, its like this, he said he didn't know of its existence and of course I believe him :think: ;). We have just dipped into SPC4 pot a little bit but its great to have a little bit of a safety net. He well and truly knows about SPC5 though - so any contributions will be greatfully accepted - bring them on. :D

    Off out shopping - lets hope the sun stays shinning to reveal lots and lots of roadkill. I can always live in hope.

    Hi all, potted £2.58 today which included a nice £2 coin. Haven't been shopping today so no trolleykill to report.
    DH went to C*rols with DD and bought stuff that I'd get told off about buying. Why is it one law for us and one for them? Ah well, I suppose we love them really. ;)
