Hi, just to let you know I am on my way :j. I am giving you enough time to get the scones in the oven !!!

I've just put the kettle on too,Susanne, so hurry up!

I've just spotted a poor abandoned 5p sitting on the kitchen worktop....spotted and potted! DH will never learn :rotfl::rotfl:

Have a lovely day all and be careful with that alien yellow ball in the sky :eek: Slap on the sunscreen x

Do you say, Sue too, little_sweetie?!!!! If so I'm on my way! :j

Morning all, one and all, have a good one.

Good to see you've settled in, MrsNoonar, and themstarrynights! A very warm welcome to you both. Have fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really does help.

You save in whatever you wish, MrsN and be sure to include all your savings when we count up on November 29th! All the best to you both with Uni and careers.

A great start, themstarrynights! By the way, you weren't late this year....but early for next! :rotfl:

Still no news then, jakes-mum? He sounds a little more free of pain which is something to hang on to.

Oh, didn't Bradley Wiggins do well, Mark Cavendish too!!! :T:T A brilliant start to the Olympics! :j

Welcome MrsNoonar, to the pottiest thread around.

Oh, how right you are, Modesty! At first I thought you were insulting us (as if) then it hit me...well summat should I spose if it takes that long to twig

Hope everyone is well and potting to their hearts content.

Hi Sue

Hiya Observer! Sorry to hear your savings aren't quite going as well as last year, but an inevitable thing for us all at times. Not to worry, so long as you're relatively healthy and happy! :grinheart

Hi Lynnsey and well done with the £5 banked! Could I ask you to please pop all your banked money on your signature? That way it won't get forgotten when you add up.

Hi samtoby! I wondered where you were...engrossed in the 50 shades trilogy perhaps? My daughter has read it and says that I won't like it :eek: Perhaps I'll stick with lovely Trisha Ashley

Not quite sure what to make of it, little_sweetie, but it caused hysterics at our lad's BBQ on Sunday...some having read it...then explaining it roughly to us who hadn't!!! :shocked: Our SIL manages a bookshop so...........! It caused so many laughs when our DIL's Mum said she'd been let down as her doofer wasn't charged up!!!!!! :eek: Turned out she meant her Kindle! :rotfl:

I'd have thought you'd have been out on the boat at the weekend, Sam?

Aha! Good to see you, OrganisingMyLife, good that you've popped your siggy on too...(at last!). Happy saving in your teaching post. I agree with Susanne, it'll be incentive for your students too.

Enjoy your day everyone.

Sue x

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.There maybe a lot of us, but don't feel intimidated, we're a lovely lot, so come on in.:grinheart

jakes-mum

HElloooooo Sue

We have been back to the docs today and they dont have the results in Have presribed him more anti inflamitorys as in his words 'its worth just trying different ones till we find one that works' (felt like saying 'you realise these are £7.65 a prescription and he doesnt have any money coming in and has a £800 mortgage to pay mate?')

Hes in alot of pain today and the main problem is that his ants in his pants are causing me problems am struggling today and have refused point blank to go out anywhere to try and pull back some energy. He really struggles to understand the 'I have energy to function on a weekend cos I dont do anything except sit during the week'
Have spent the entire morning on the phone to HMRC, must have spoke to near enough every department :eek: trying to sort out benefits and they all want the same info which I cant provide cos the employment agency havent sent his P45 yet
Think im going to have some lunch and watch rubbish tv, too depressed to do anything else

You are hysterical - thanks for making me laugh out loud! I have the exact opposite. I cannot get my DH out the house. Now I ask him only once if he wants to come with me and if he takes longer than 5 seconds to answer, I am already out the door. :rotfl::rotfl: Oh, the joys of marriage :T!!

I'll swap you!! He's already packaged up in a box ready to send, hope you got plenty of money cos he'll have you in every shop/boat yard/caravan showroom/computer shop in the area . Your DH and I can sit in the house with a cup of tea and not talk to each other . . . ahh that would be bliss

Hi all
Back again and potted £2something including 1p roadkill
welcome to MrsNoonar & themstarrynights, have fun potting
jakes-mum don't you hate that lot at the tax office? they know everything about you but they still ask the same questions over and over, then write to you with the same stuff, then send you the wrong money anyway cos they've ignored something you told them, on & on & on... I've been in tears before now trying to sort out tax credits.
Sorry folks, rant over
Hope you're all enjoying the weather

Hi rosy you are so right! I used to work as an Income Tax officer (many moons ago ) and we all had our own caseloads to deal with so that if you had a query you could always speak to the same person. It got sorted because we kept notes! not stuff on a computer :mad: I'm always ringing the tax office to sort out mine and DH's code numbers which are wrong every single year. I have to explain why they are wrong and how to put it right and the person on the other end of the phone usually says " well we could do it that way ....oh, ok then...." aarrgghhhh
You have my sympathy jakes-mum and I do agree about the prescription charges. I noticed this morning how the price is creeping up. At least that's one benefit of getting to 60, you don't have to pay

Anyway, I digress...just potted 29p which is the last of the food budget for this week. Not sure if I can manage a week but we'll try...
