Unlikely, with only 3 months (at most) left till DFD.

It's taken me almost 3 months, to save the pittance that's in the box now.

Oh dear Bedsit Bob

Sounds like you are having a bit of a down day!!

But just think 3 months ago you didn't even have that pittance!!!

and your going to be DF :T:T

Hope tomorrow is a better day ((HUG))

I have not posted in ages!!! I have been potting away what I can and today for the first time in ages I found road kill! a shiny 5p just waiting for me! so it's in the jar for the wedding fund in August and I will keep potting the little change I get as avoiding spending money doesn't lead to much these days

Hello All,

Sue UU - my thoughts are with you and your family at this time.

A special "hello" to all the newbies.

Jakesmum - lovely cake, he is a very lucky boy to have a mum that bakes such lovely cakes for him. Hope he enjoyed his birthday, and that you start to feel a bit better soon.

I have been fleeced by my niece and nephew this week but I don't mind, its almost a pleasure being fleeced by them . However, have managed to pot some change. I didn't count it before it went in the pot though.

Ohhh and update on nephew and his lack of saving savvy.....he's spotted my sealed pot, picked it up and felt the weight, asked some questions along the lines of "are there £1 and £2 pound coins in there?", and the next day announced that he has now sellotaped his money box up so that he is less tempted to take money out of it and he is saving for Christmas......he says he wants to buy me something nice as we fully intend to have the most fantastic Christmas this year after all my cancer treatment will hopefully be coming to an end. I am one very proud auntie

Aww hope you feel better soon Jakes Mum....It's horrible when you have got a bad cold....

And Nell....Aw bless, your Nephew sounds really sweet....

Nothing to Report yet...haven't checked my Bank Account....But I'm going Shopping later on so might have some change from that....

DreamerHelen

Just done my Shopping....and managed to add another £1.56 to the Pot....I think that's going to be my lot until next Thursday....We'll see....Might be able to squeeze out a little more....

Lynsey

Morning all, hope all are well .................. or better.

Potted another £2 coins today (I was keeping to put lottery on). Hopefully more later, we'll see.

£324+ potted so far.

Another weekend upon us! God, how quick is this year passing??

May all your troubles be little ones and all you potting bigger ones.

Lynsey

That cake looks so delicious, jakes-mum, did you save me a piece? A very Happy Birthday to Jake - NOW can I have some cake?!

Forgive me father, for I have sinned.

I was bored, so I broke the seal and counted the contents.

I know it was wrong, and I do feel guilty, but I have put the money back and resealed it.

Ok, Bedsit Bob, you've fessed up and told us of your transgression and so are forgiven, but don't you mean......Mother?? Don't do it again mind! Save every penny possible and budget well, you'll soon find that it mounts up, and it most certainly will after your DFD

Aha, LunaLady, as the song goes "if you go down in the woods today you're sure of a big surprise", it worked for you.


Good to see you, Lozzy, keep saving whenever you can.
