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:

Good luck with the job I hope you get it

Hi all managed to save another £2.04p after my shopping the other day. 2p was roadkill my youngest found. He was very excited to find it as he knows mummy loves roadkill:o

(Just hope he doesn't say that to his teacher. She'll think "dead animals on the side of the road":eek:)

I counted out all my money Ive saved for "sealed pot challenge" and bagged it up for the Nationwide. It was very heavy to carry into town. Anyway when I got there the woman behind the counter said she could only except 5 bags at a time:mad: The reason given was they didn't have room to keep loads of change:rotfl:Why do I bother with them, it's only because there a building society and not a bank. Went down the road to my other building society and they quite happly took all the bags which had been sorted and counted perfectly. They couldn't understand the Nationwide's policy and niether can I??
:question:I feel like getting rid of Nationwide, anybody have any idea's whos good to bank with?? Banks I can't stand =
1) Barclays at no1:(
2)Santander, (Ive had many a run in with):mad:
3)Tsb/lloyds:(
4)Halifax:mad:
5)CO-OP:mad:
6)Natwest:mad:
7)Royal bank of Scotland:(
Happy saving and big hugs to all that need it:grouphug:

Morning everyone
Bought a piece of furniture yesterday, the display model was reduced from £149.99 to £124.99 but I couldn't get that one (built up) into the car, so I asked the assistant if they had a flat pack one, when I got to the till I got it for the reduced price, so £25 better off in the sparky household Yay. Plus 5p car park change outside the shop.

Potted my usual £2 testerday. Have a great day averyone, stay safe & keep saving

Well I wanted to go out to dinner last night as I reeeeeeeeeeally couldnt be bothered to cook, but DH said he'd rather eat at home :eek: I notice he's all for home cooked food as he's not the one to cook . . if I said 'ok go get your apron on, what you making' he might have changed his tune :think:

Anyway due to not getting my dinner out ive popped a £5 into the pot :shhh: might get another £10 out and chuck that in too as we def would have spent at least £15 if we had gone out

Hi alliboy03,

After banking with most of those on your list, I eventually fetched up at First Direct and I've been with them since 1993. I've always found them very helpful and although it's only telephone or online you can use the HSBC branches if you need to. I think it's also the most recommended bank. Good luck, anyway.:)

Potted about £7 this week, which is about half of what I should be potting. Will have to do better. And where have all the £2 coins gone??? Sparky, are you buying them in bulk???:D

Oops x

Well decided to stick an extra £5er in the car and have popped a 2nd £5er in the SP so a stupendous £10 in the pot today :j

Wyre

Afternoon all, just added another £1.10 today. I will be needing to buy a new pot soon (and stashing this one away somewhere safe 'til the end of the year).

jakes-mum

ooooo just found a 50p and another 20p so into the pots they've gone theres 2 inches of room left in the SPand tin weighs 4kg's now :eek:

System

A massive £10.37 today, 7p of which was roadkill :j
The rest is savings from taking a flask of tea and snacks on the train down to Mum's (a ridiculous 3hour journey because it's across London) instead of buying at the station. it all helps

Welcome to the friendliest and pottiest thread on MSE wiggles - our boss Sue will be along soon to give you a number, and her second in command sparky will need you to put the number in your siggy so he can keep track of you, and they'll ask you to read post 1 on page 1 so you know what's what - but so long as you keep saving, enjoy the banter and avoid the naughty step you'll be ok. Have fun
