    Have just banked £500 so have put it in my signature Sparky. Didn't want to leave money in house while we was away even though son and family will be here some of the time.

    Gosh LC2 that's a lot! You said that very offhand too, just sneak it in and see if anyone is really reading the post :rotfl: Well done with the saving though and have a lovely time while you're away :)

    Although, on a sad note, but haven't said on here (or anywhere for that matter) me and my girlfriend of 2 1/2 years broke up a couple of days ago :(

    That is very sad news indeed, however, she obviously wasn't supposed to be your forever so you will just have to wait for your special someone to come along! :grouphug: Hugs if you need them :) Remember to keep smiling.

    I think you mean Rosy not me, however what does "...VO, The DM and you G..." mean? i struggle to get this lingo haha.



    I am still struggling with the potting :( i just never seem to have any money. I am still trying my absolute hardest though and potting at least a few pennies. Checking my bank has suddenly become depressing since buying the car and insurance so i have bagged up all my money ready to bank when i have time.

    Some good news, a lady at work won 2 tickets to watch derby county play at the weekend. She doesn't like football so gave them to me. Bad point to this story.....its peeing it down! Ah well.

    Hope you are all ok. Big group hugs to all that want them :grouphug: and a big welcome to all the newbies!

    Thank you mumof3plusoh and Sue-UU! It was quite a good day financially yesterday but today was even better overall! Didn't spend a thing!

    rosyq tell me about it! Have never had any trouble in the past getting it but i've probably only ever been there when there were sales on in the past! :D

    Sue-UU and crimson.addict I know someone will come into my life again, it's just a case of when :)

    Got £1.50 to go in the pot so far today, there may be more later on as I plan on doing some tidying up because the house is a mess! I also won £42 today from a game we play weekly in work! :j

    So I think I'm going to put £3.50 into the pot today and put the other £40 back into the bank tomorrow :beer:

    Although, that said am I allowed to put the £2.50 into the pot as it was winnings and not birthday money? Still not 100% Sure on the rules :p

    Congratulations to everyone, you're all doing fantastic!

    P.S. luckycharlie not all of Cheshire is rich lol... especially not me! :rotfl:

    Valued Opinions (surveys), Ruth, you G is You Gov, but DM...something to do with DH maybe as she doesn't want him to know! Come on LC 2, let us in on it, please?!

Checking my bank has suddenly become depressing since buying the car and insurance so i have bagged up all my money ready to bank when i have time.

    Cheer up Ruth, we never know when our finances might change, just keep on hoping. If you mean you're bagging up all your SPC 5 cash and banking it, please don't forget to pop it on your sig.

    Still go to the football, it may just be fine and you never know what you might come across on the way there or back so keep your eyes peeled. Never give up hope! :kisses3:

    :naughty: Naughty naughty tomjo! Someone else not been reading Page 1 properly...or forgetting perhaps. ;) Anyway, take it from me, you CAN put both in! You've done brilliantly, good for you! :D

    A £10er in the pot, really happy with that as it was none last week. :(

    Have a lovely evening everyone, enjoy it.

    Well done LC 2, you got it!
