Hi all,
Thank you very much for all your good wishes. All that good energy will definitely help my FIL get better
! Sue, you are right, my DH going there for a visit sure is a great tonic for both my FIL and my MIL.
LC2, you are so lucky I don't live anywhere near you. I would be permanently camping on your doorstep in the hope of being fed some of your delicious treats. Your DH sure is one lucky fella.
jakes-mum, I am glad you had a great time in Scotland. Welcome back. It was far too quiet when you were gone
, but LC2 did a great job in keeping us entertained.
After all that is said and done, I managed to add £0.65 to my pot yeterday.

My aim was £200 - I have saved £275.90!!! :j
So I am able to book the day and also get him some MacLaren merchandise.
I have bought my pot (from a pound shop) ready to start saving in the new year for the next challenge!

Have just added something like 36p Halloween Party kill to my pot. I helped set up and was part of a party. The aim of the game where I won said, 36p was to put your hand in 'slime' (cornflour, water and green food colouring) and pull out the items inside, I got lucky and found three coins stuck together!
Oh, and I can't decide whether to open my pot this year and use it for Christmas Holiday spending money (I'm going to Florida! :j) or save it until next year. What do you think?:j Tehya Baby DD 22/03/2012 :j
