Morning All
£5.00 potted today. Have just bought a giant sealed pot which myself and my OH have decided is our house deposit fund. The pot was a bit ugly so I have covered it in wrapping paper to jazz it up a bit.
Hope that everyone is keeping cool in this warm weather.
Pins. X£9150 (Jan 2020)
Current Debt as of April 2021 £750
Emergency fund-£1000
Extra security locked pot- £500/£10000 -

Don't think I'll be potting money today..............................mybe just a few plants!!
Some great amounts being potted and hopefully Sue will get a record total this year.

Hi Modesty and welcome back from your holiday at WSM, so pleased to hear you enjoyed yourself.
A warm welcome back from Lake District, Rosy, and I'll bet it was superb up there this time of year. Not that I'm at all envious.
What great achievements for your DS, mumof3plusoh, especially the PB in hurdles!!! Congratulations to him :T I used to LOVE hurdles! :j
Glad you arrived ok, Untouchable, and that you've tidied up for your Mum...well cleaned her out of cash a least.
BRILLIANT saving, Emily!!! You're doing sooo well this year!
It sounds as though that seller was a right crafty so and so, jakes-mum. :mad: Push hard til he/she is sorted, it may have been a mistake but - as if they'd measure the roof part alone - poppy !!!!!
Happybeingme I'm so pleased your DS enjoyed his 18th, he sounds like my eldest, more grunting than conversation. Kids - bless them. :A
Keep up the pocket raiding, mummytummy, he must want you too.
You are doing so well with your saving, Donna, though how d'you know how much is in there if it's "sealed"????For tips on roadkill - ask sparky - he's always getting some; if you're in the Liverpool area then forget it as that's where sparky is!!

I work my 2nd job in a bar.. Plenty of road kill there!! Think its the only reason I stay there ha ha ha

You jammy so and so, Determined diva, it has to be about the best job for that for certain. I bet you even get to know which ones are more likely to drop em too. :rotfl: Er...in a manner of speaking.
All the best with the pot and house deposit, Pins, save save save!!Lynsey wrote:God!! It's getting hotter and hotter. lol

I sincerely hope so, Lynsey, there's been a LOT of new members this year so it should be more. BTW, I'm melting here in Somerset, it is soooooooo bally HOT and......we had to trudge all over town - ending with a marathon walk all the way up hill - then a mammoth amount of steps and then into a boiling hot car!!! :eek:
Ah well....could be winter and freeeeeezing!
£20 for the pot after shopping - AND - 5p roadkill!!!!!! :j Our friend looked at me with a half-cocked eye, but I was NEVER going to leave it there!
We are so very proud of our middle DGS as he got student of the year award for maths!!!!! :T:j:THave a wonderful evening and cool (uh huh :cool2:) Friday, everyone. Keep saving well.
