    LC2 got to keep doing the O/T because I can see a larger light at the end of the tunnel, a few more weeks and all the cards are paid off and I'll be working for DH & I and not working to pay someone else. Valuable lesson learnt, stay away from credit cards!

    Working for who? Or have you been frapped? :rotfl:
  • Thanks for the welcome:)

    I have decided to throw my Clubcard vouchers into the pot when they arrive too, should have a few pounds to add to my total when the next statement comes in!

    Will be picking up pot this morning, a few bits of food shopping to get and then I should be able to put my first little bit of money in, can't wait!

    Was going to stop on my way home from shopping and purchase a burger and chips, but thought no there is a pasta snack thing at home which I am allowed on the diet and can save £2, so £2 gone into my pot when I got home.

    Hi everyone - I am still around but very busy at work in the run up to xmas shut down on Friday afternoon :D Cant wait !

    I am still potting bits and pieces and its become a habit to only put £18 a week now fuel in and pot the £2 - so if nothing else I should make £104 lol :rotfl:

    I was paid back £10 from a colleague today that I had forgot about - lent to them nearly 2 months ago at a company function and guess what - its gone in the pot! Really chuffed about that one lol.

    Been trying to catch up on all your posts - Jakesmum - yours stands out as it sounds PAINFUL - hope you are ok today and the anti-b's are starting to kick in.

    Take care everyone x

    £3.50 fed to Pancetta pig over the past couple of days.

    Going for a walk this afternoon to try and get rid of DS1 and DS2 energy. Hopefully we'll come across some roadkill, may make it a competition to see who can find the most.
  • Hi

    Hellooooooooooooo Potterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

    Thank you everyone for your well wishes, its not as bad today, just painful when I try to eat as I assume the food is scraping the ulcer when I swallow. Face still a bit numb round the mouth and eye but the cheek feels pretty normal so hopefully the anti biotics are working :)

    I did go and have my hair cut today so am now £32 lighter but my hair looks fab and as I only get it cut once a year that is not too excessive.

    Only 1p to pot today after I popped into co-op for a few bits. Im trying to keep my shopping at £25 a week for the 4 of us . . . failed miserably last week :rotfl: but its become a personal challenge and if I actually managed to have anything left from my £25 (highly unlikely :rotfl:) I will pot it :D
