    I've decided to count up my tin as it gets full and put it in a separate bank account so I don't touch it. This is because I don't really want to take all my tins to the bank in one go at the end of the year. So far I have £100 to bank.

    I'm still saving :)

    My 1, 2, 5 and sometimes 10ps are going into the money box and I've saved about £200 from my wages this month. I can finally start saving for a deposit. :D

    So, there you are, Willow! :shocked: I looked out for you at the end of last year, but sadly no Willow. Brilliant news about the £200!! :T BTW, you can include your VO survey earnings in your Total in November, it all counts. Good to see you back. :)


    You get as obsessed as you wish, chelle24!! Obsessions on SPC means even more cash saved!! ;)


    Aha! A good way to view a Terry's Orange, Lynsey, my hubby's always telling me that (yes, he's a Terry) oooh if only they were! :(

    A lovely £2 coin for the pot today, plus some shiny silvers for the big pot and a teeny tiny 5p roadkill from the co-0p :D. Miss Lily has finally made her mind up on what she wants to spend her pennies on, Zurg is back for sale on Disney Store :j :j so she has given me all her pennies and is now eagerly awaiting the postman.

    She was a little upset that she couldnt afford Bullseye as well but understood that her pennies couldnt stretch that far. Don't tell her but :shhh: mummy and daddy have paid for him for her so both are winging their way to our door as we speak ;)

    30p to pot today :)

    Not the best MSE day ever...this morning my hairdryer was on for 5 seconds before it died. It's been making a loud noise, occasionally smelled of burning and been randomly cutting out for the last year or so...but this morning it was much noiser, a much stronger smell and I swear there was a tiny electrical fire going on in there. So I pinned my hair up in a bun and it's still wet now lol!
    So yeah, I bought a new one. But I did get lots of points on my Boots card, so it'll help me be more MSE in the future :D

    Another £1.13 in the pot today,
    just checked my bank balance tho and its a lot lower than I was expecting... Forgot about charges coming out, I have a rather special present to buy this month (my wonderful aunts 50th), so fingers crossed I can keep potting and not have to scrape the pennies together towards the end of the month... Oh we'll we'll cross that bridge when it comes.

    Hope everyone is having a good week
