Hi everyone, not posted on here in a long time. Last time I was on I mentioned I was about to go through IVF treatment so wasnt sure how much I could manage to save.
Well now we are pregnant with twins :j:T:j so definitely wont be able to save! We are using every bit of spare cash to buy bits and bobs when we can rather than having to buy everything at once later.
So Im afraid I will have to back out of this thread please
Good luck to everyone though xx:j:T Gorgeous twin girls born 1st Nov 2012 :T:j0 -

Maybe you could save all your coppers then when your babies are a certain age split the money and treat them to something nice. Think how much money you could collect in say 16 years. And the treat would be extra lovely when they learn you have been saving for all that time
- Just an idea
Congratulations on your news though. I'd love twins Sealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4

Happy birthday to Jake's Mum and Modesty B! :T
Extra food for my pot this week- I did a "liddle" big shop yesterday and despite having bought loads (including stuff that I don't buy every week but pushes the cost up- like loo roll and beer and air freshener) had change from £30! Admittedly I avoided the meat but I don't suppose it's any worse than other supermarkets. I think we can guess where the change went...
Also had a free 100g of ground coffee from a subscription site (I ordered the freebie, then cancelled my subscription) so the value of that (£4.50) got potted too. I only use ground coffee at the weekends so this should last me quite some time...
I have a feeling I'm getting overly devious about this. Never mind
