    I've lost my way over the past year with lots of the chllanges I used to to, this is on I loved. Please can I join? I've not quite decided what I'm saving for either Xmas or as a lump sum towards paying off a CC. My pot is ready and waiting.

    Thanks

    I've been trawling the lettings websites but they've all either 'just gone' or say 'sorry no pets' :mad:. I wish I could get across to them that we would be perfect tenants, very house proud and likely to leave the property in a better state than when we get it. It's so frustrating :mad:

    Hi Janey, I do sympathise with you as it mus be hard, especially when you know you're great tenants. Still, all very best wishes for getting a place soon - one you're worthy of! ;)BTW....:o Very belated Birthday wishes to you!

    Very well done on all you've banked so far, Kerry, you're doing marvellously!

    Thinking of you as you dash around like a headless chook, LC 2.

    Chips with cheese sounds bad enough to me..but add gravy to that and - pass the ruddy bucket PLEASE!!! :(

    Hectic few days, but did manage to pot £3.56.
    Enjoy the day folks, rain too..after all we're getting so used to the bloomin stuff :(

    Anyway pot fed with that and 15p I found on the floor in the hallway (so more home kill than roadkill I think :think:)

    A very small number of copper ones added in to my work tin today, its very nearly full so will be emptied and banked in the next couple of weeks I think.
