Get on with you, little_sweetie, I bet you'd soon have been thinking the same.
Come to think of it, we've never seen one wearing a kilt in Scotland...but have done down here. :think: There you go then, they obviously don't like the nibbles! :rotfl:You must be bringing out the worst in me, I'm never normally like this. :A
Noooo, Sue, I'm sure it's the other way round. I was so well behaved before I joined this thread :rotfl::rotfl:
Fingers crossed for you mossy, and what a lovely thing to look forward to. A house and a lovely Christmas with friends....fab!

Just a quick post from me, things have been so hectic having our new little man, although he is 7 weeks old tomorrow, where has the time gone.
Will read back over the last goodness knows how many pages tomorrow.
Have potted 2 x £2 coin into baby ETO's money box, and £8 into my sealed pot.
Have a good weekend everyone.SPC 18 Target £200 /0 -
Well, with a week to go until our camping trip (and my original SPC target) we've cracked open the saving tins and counted our pennies. I banked £74.56 earlier in the year which was our combined odd change and from then on, after more than a bit of competitive ribbing, we had separate tins to see who could save the most.
So, grand total for mine (shrapnel and the odd £2 coin):£72.22
Grand total for OH (just shrapnel): £23.19
I think that makes me the winner! Combined total is £169.97 :j
That will pay for the pitch for the week and quite a bit of spending money. :TDry January: 31/31 days. :T0 -

Just watching Glastonbury and Elvis ............................. Costello. Oliver's Army is a classic. lol
Hope all are well.
Potted 5 x £1 coins and that's it for today. I thinks that's a £10+ week and if I get some "free" money next week I'm going to pot £20 in coins.
So if you see me posting I've potted £20+ in a single day, then I got lucky.
£371+ potted so far and should easily hit £400 by the end of July, maybe by the end of next week if I get lucky.
