Hope you get home soon, bubbs, and that you don't have to do too much in the way of repairs/cleaning up.

Kids!! bloomin pain in the arris they are :rotfl:

DS's phone bill comes in and hes gone £19 over his monthly bill :mad: we got him a contract phone for his birthday in may and the first 2 months he ran up 'not too bad' bills on the data useage as he was still trying to figure out the phone. Had a good chat with him about it and agreed to pay it myself, hes been very good the next 2 months, not a penny over, just got the bill and yep, data useage. In his defence he was told to only use it at home where he connects to our wi-fi, for some reason it hasnt been connecting and hes been using the rediculously overpriced data useage instead. Of course by the tiem I find out he's already racked up another £15 this month as well

Anyway, he was told that if his bill went over he would be paying it out of his pocket money, BUT as it was a bit of human error I have said I will not take it all at once (he has money from some stuff he sold that he was going to buy xbox live with) but will take £9 out of his xbox live money, then £5 out of his pocket money each month till its paid off.
If it had been purposeful i'd have had every penny off him right now, but I feel for the kid, he tried to do as he was told, but lack of reading what he was connecting too has lead to him paying alot of money

Well anyway, £12.50 into the pot, which included 4 x £2 coins from the post office, right back to setting the alarms on DS's phone for when he uses 1mb data

What a pain, jakes-mum. Still, vigilance is best learnt early (and learning it now could help him avoid bigger "oopsies" further down the road)

Hi everyone, I know I'm early but if I didn't do it tonight I might miss the deadline. So I am absolutely thrilled to say the grand total was way above my expectations (probably double) and it's £153.19.

It's amazing how many £2 I have and how they really get the total up. I haven't at all felt like I've been saving.

Good luck everyone!!

Now to work out how to update my signature.......

I haven't been in here for ages! Hope you're all well! Trying to pot as often as I can and I'm going to pop in more as a new years resolution I think!

Evening everyone,

Bubbs, so very sorry to hear you have been affected by those horrid floods. I hope it all turns out well for you and your family.

No potting today, unfortunately.

Methinks I will have an early night for a change. No-one home yet and it is blissfully quiet.
