  • Just wanted to say a BIG Thank You to Crimson Addict....You said that you hoped something would happen that would make me smile - Well YOU made me smile just with that lovely Post...so thank you...

    Nothing else to Report for me as I don't get paid my Tax Credits until Saturday and I'm not sure what Shopping will cost so I'm not sure what I will have left over....So I will just have to wait and see!!

    So sorry for your loss Dinglefoot. :heart2:

    Sounds like you had a fab time Sparky!! :T

    Found 5p at work today whilst tidying up so in the pot it will go. DH has just been paid for some work that we didn't need the money for if you know what I mean, i.e. it wasn't budgeted against any bills etc. So I have just been able to put another £300 in to the deposit savings account!! :dance: :T So pleased as we want to start looking in April so we've really got to try and find any way possible to get to our target!

    On that happy note I am going to pot 20p to celebrate!! :D

    Thank you Kerry Woman, EverTheOptimist, rosyq, Sue, DreamerHelen, crimson.addict & mossy, it means a lot. Sorry I don't know you all by name yet :o People have been very supportive at work today, I just hope I haven't made any mistakes...I've been in a bit of a daze all day. I still don't believe it, I think I'm still in shock :(

    Just got back from Morrisons, where I got £10 off the shop because I've saved their vouchers from the last three weeks, so that was a nice little saving. £1.15 left over to put in the pot :)

    So sorry for your loss dinglefoot :(

    Welcome back Sparky :wave:

    Well done on your fabulous weight loss my lovely LC2, you'll be all skinny Minnie :D

    about a £1 in change went in the pot today out of my purse. DH got very excited this morning as he went to the bank and saw my bank balance, was such a shame to remind him its the last day of the month and all the bills dont come out till tomorrow :rotfl: he was already buying stuff in his mind . . . not any more :D:D

    It is pocket money day tomorrow though so that should brighten his day up a little bit ;) I finally spent some of my christmas/birthday/pocket money stash . . . a whole £10 on a new craft box :rotfl: I truly am the last of the big spenders :rotfl:

    Just a quick log in to say I'm sorry to hear of your bereavement, dinglefoot, and send big hugs. It's always difficult to lose someone you have been so close to xx

    Treading water at WW, stayed the same (luckily as purse is empty and didn't have any pounds to pot either way lol).

    Scant potting to be had at the moment; must do better in March!

    Night everyone :)

    Hi there, newby here!!

    Please may I join this?

    Aim for 2013 is to stop frittering money aay on pointless crap so the SPC will be great for me to get my loose change somewhere out of the way. I got a terramunda (I think that's the right word) a few years ago so will use that.

    No particular aim, just a bit of a lump sum for Christmas would be awesome.
