    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!

    Poor you, sparky, still having nightmare neighbours :(

    Have a lovely weekend everyone x

    Evening all
    Its payday woo! I have just taken great pleasure in potting £40 in £ coins one by one. I am thoroughly enjoying filling my pot and watching everyone's progress on here.
    Hope you're all having a great Friday.

    I am also really hoping opening day comes quickly! Its so tortuous to have the tins sitting there. I had a dream about opening it last night and I rolled around in coins :D

    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.

    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. :T
    Dry January: 31/31 days. :T

    I've been Money Tipped!
    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. :D

    £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.
