    Hi, haven't logged in in ages, but I haven't given up on the sealed pot. No idea how much is in it but it weighs a ton, and I have another £2 to go in there tonight.

    Hope everyone is doing well!

    Morning everyone
    12p tea room floor/vending machine change for me last night, plus an extra 50p for the Chicago & New York 2013 spending fund.
    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

    Morning Sue Still on the overtime, well it would be rude not to take the money off them now wouldn't it! Hope you T and the family have a great bank holiday weekend

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving

    ahh ty everyone, i was so pleased as im amazed how much it costs to be disabled :eek: just fuel to get around is crazy as I have to drive everywhere, even to the local shop :( and I can now look at possibly getting some help in, just someone to come push the hoover round once a week would be amazing as currently DH is working 50+ hour weeks and then coming home and spending weekends cleaning and trying to fit in running me anywhere I need to go and he's got his own medical problems bless him :o

    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:

    Not at all surprised at the first part, jakes-mum,but marvellous news on the 2nd!!! :j Re the getting around, are you getting the mobility allowance too?? If not, do try.

    Well done on the cash, nu1isit? and good to hear you'll be popping in as LC 2 will soon be back and want a goggle at Mr Tumble :rotfl:

    Thanks so much for the greetings, little_sweetie, I'll be thinking of you emptying your purse as I do the same!!! :rotfl:So worth it though.

    Yep, sparky, it it would be downright rude of you not to take the money off them..after all they're begging you to take it. Grab it while it's there. :D All the best for the weekend for you and J too xx

    Have a lovely Bank Holiday weekend, everyone & keep saving well.

    Hi everyone :wave:- happy weekend!

    I emptied the purse of the weeks leftovers and found £10.21 for the pot - yahoo!:j
    I also spent the vouchers I earned doing surveys on the weekly shop (£20) so that cash has gone in the pot too.:T

    I had a job interview last week (am down from 150 applicants to the last 20 for 6 jobs) so we all have fingers crossed at our house at the moment..... its a job I really really want and will involve lots of travel so if i get it the opportunities for roadkill will be immense!! :rotfl:

    Hope you all have a fab holiday weekend
