    Welcome diddldonna !:)

    I see you have the idea already :rotfl:waste not want not....I'm sure you'll enjoy being on here. It's great fun...

    Just popped in to say I have potted a mere 9p today which is all there is left from my personal allowance this week. The family are coming round on Sunday afternoon so I might need to draw next week's money early :( Still it is Bank Holiday weekend so we intend to enjoy it whatever the weather :T

    Happy holiday everyone! x

    Hi folks, sorry to have abandoned you yesterday, but a very hectic though rewarding day. :grinheart I hope yours were similar.

    Your DH, Jake & Lily still upright, jakes-mum? Just wondering after your forking out. :p

    Excellent news about your car, nu1isit?!! Treat it lovingly, just like a lady and you'll be alright. :D

    I have banked the content of sealed pot 1 - It weighed 1 stone and had £273.51 in it.

    Pot 2 weighs 3.08lb today.

    Hiya Mel and look just how well you've done already!! :eek: What a weight pots 1 & 2 were/are, quite amazing! Thanks a lot for updating your sig.

    Well done on the college assignments, mishmogs and all the very best for you getting the job!

    You still working OT, sparky? If so at least it's for a good purpose. Incidentally, you made a perfect job of diddldonna's welcome, telling everything as it is ~ a lovely gold star is yours! :staradmin

    Well done diddldonna! Have a GOOD look round the house, car - anywhere - that you may have put cash, it's surprising what can be found! Well done with your No.

    Happy saving!

    They did check that I hadnt been abducted and replaced by some overly generous imposter, just as long as they dont expect this to become a regular occurance :eek: :eek:

    On a more positive note, my appeal on my DLA came back finally and they have awarded me mid rate care :j. For the next 5 years :eek::eek::eek: nearly fell out me chair, might be able to afford a new recliner now as this ones stuffing has all come out the bottom ive been stuck in it so long :o
