    Hi everyone. Hope you are all ok.

    Just jumping in to say I am still potting the pennies. Having such a busy time at the moment, I can't seem to keep up with everyone. Now we are going away for a break, so I will fall still further behind:o I will keep trying to save the pennies though.

    I know it's early but have a good weekend everyone. I hope the weather will still be fine and you will all have a great bank holiday:jand Jubilee weekend.

    Evening everyone, another gorgeous day...so we wend shopping! :(
    Thanks for the explanation, sparky, I thought you were at least building a house or a boat, now I feel quite let down. :D I love the sperm bank joke, what a thought though...all those wriggly bits inside!!! :(

    BTW, you're right, it was called the Yellow Submarine on the site I went to, but...alas we all know, LC 2 - nuts! :rotfl:

    Good to see you, 166million and brilliant news about the savings on your siggy! :T You're doing yourself very proud.

    Hi Kerfuffle, it's also right about Midges too, apparently only the lady bugs have a bite. Totally different than with humans. ;)

    Well done, Lost, a very good sum so far!

    Susanne, you've got just about 6 months to go, so keep hard at it and you won't be doing so bad, and what some memories from that holiday - superb!
    Just under SIX months to go til emptying out day, folks, make them all count. :grinheart

    Hi guys,
    Just popping in to declare I took my pot to the bank again today and banked a further 6.28 making my total for SPC £16.99 BANKED. I also found 7p in roadkill :rotfl:
    That was on my way to the bank so that went in too :p
    Sorry Sue but I can't remember by number, it is in my signature underneath though.
    Thanks!
