    Afternoon all, just a quick post as i am suppose to be tidying get another £1.10 of oh the other night not bad, was folding his jeans this morning he just left them lieing in a half folded way and a £2.00 coin fell onto the carpet so that went straight in the pot yeah.

    Going to send dd to shop when she gets home later any change she comes back with will go in the pot, oh brother is coming so i'd better get back to this tidying, or i could use my youngest dd bit of advice just turn around and face the wall it's fine. I don't think that would work though.

    Will catch up this evening on the posts i have missed.

    Had to borrow from my pot last night to pay for yoga class (I've given up the gym it was too much like hard work :rotfl: ). I'm a bit disappointed with myself though I'll pay it back and add extra. Might have to try a holding pot.
    Keep up the good work everyone :)

    Planning a NSD today and to pop another 50p in the pot. I think we're in for a cold blast according to weather reports, so keep warm and safe everyone.

    I'm going to do an 'eBay pot' as well as the sealed pot. I sold a few things on eBay before Christmas, so I'm going to have a rummage around at home and see what else I can find to sell :)

    Lucky you, skilly!! My youngsters know what the acronym IOU means they just forget to carry it through! :mad: All we hear is "oh I left my purse/wallet in the car or at home, blighters! ;)

    That's just perfect, harduphelen! Thanks so much for being so prompt. :j

    £3 is just great, new leaf!! :D

    Hi Susanne! I just couldn't think what on earth you meant by parking money for a minute then it dawned on me that you meant your neighbour's payment to you for the space. What a blessing that has been! :j

    Just a thought, just trying, hopefully your B-I-L will have the same traits as your DH!!! :rotfl: Fingers crossed!

    Oh dear Rosy, I loved the part about having given up the gym as it was too much like hard work!! :rotfl: Still, I guess it feels like it at times. Good luck with the Yoga, but why not have a 'holding pot' so you don't need to dip in. :)

    Good for you, elizabunny! You're right about the weather forecast, they say it's a LOT colder from now - AND - that there's the possibility of snow on Monday!!! :j I love snow, so many photo opportunities. DH hates it, but will bear it for a little while. Why am I getting so excited, it'll possibly cover the Scottish Mountains and maybe com down as far as the Exmoor hills and not us! :(:cry: Carry on getting better, you hear! ;)

    All the best, Dave, I hope you can gather more to sell. Have an E-Bay pot by all means, but you're also welcome to add whatever it is to your SPC total in November. :)

    A bit of cash to put in my pot tomorrow too with luck! :j
