    Well we went out last night and DH is feeling very fragile today.

    I am very sympathetic unfortunately we needed to go shopping I needed a chicken no time to defrost the one in the freezer. No let's both go cos then we can have a really good look round the shops!!!

    Oh look!! While we are out lets just pop into the allotment we could just clear that bed while it's such a lovely day. I then spent all my time talking about all the food we were going to have and how I was going to make his favorite trifle . I'm so kind :D

    He is dying to go to sleep but what a shame we are sooo busy he hasn't time also he is just waiting for me to shout at him and I'm not and the waiting is worse than me shouting :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I can see him thinking that he can get his head down when I go to pick the children up but Oh dear I will need to phone him . but I will wait for about half an hour so he can at least just get to sleep!!!

    He has also donated 2 x £2 coins to my pot mmmmm it's a start I suppose Oh! it's fun in the LC house :rotfl:

    A few more small ones have joined the party in my work tin, the bottle is still looking disgracefully empty though. :/

    Hi, can I join, please?

    I have been saving "change" since January, but tonight I sealed my pot and think this thread will help me from dipping in/spending money from my pot. :)

    Many thanks.

    Hello Nell

    Welcome to the best thread around. If you read the first post it tells you everything you need to know and gets you points from Sue who is our leader!. When Sue comes on she will give you a number and if you pop this on your signature you will be ready to go. Sparky is our official counter upper and very efficient he is too. So if you bank any pennies please also pop this on your signature as this helps him. You will notice me and Jakes-Mum look after Sue and Sparky and keep them sane it is very hard work but we manage it :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Enjoy saving don't forget to post cos we love knowing everything
