    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 :D, 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.

    All the best to everyone,

  • Hi everyone...

    I had to open my pot early as I need to kick off the process of booking a trip to Silverstone for my partners Xmas. Finally got his mates to agree to a weekend and they are paying his hotel room for the night so that is great :)

    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!

    I will leave my total in my signature so the totals can all be totted up...but this wont be added to for this year.

    Afternoon everyone
    ((HUGS)) to all who need them, sorry I've been AWOL for a bit, work got in the way again.

    Please remember if you are declaring any totals early, can you pop the total into your signatures for me in case I miss your post, I can still see your total in your signature. I can also se that excitement is starting to rise as we only have 30 days to go to the grand opening.

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving

  • 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?
