    Helloooooooooooooooo :wave:

    ugh its all rubbish in the jakes-mum household, Miss Lily has been ill all weekend with fever and a streaming cold, finally allowed her back to school today against our better judgement as she cried so hard when we asked if she was absolutely sure she felt well enough, picked her up and shes smiling but white as a sheet, 3 hrs later theres blisters all round her mouth and I now think shes developing impetigo :( Really hoping im wrong as 1) she went to school :eek: 2) its school play on monday and she has a speaking part and 3) she got upset enough about missing 2 days of school, how will I tell her she cant go back again till after christmas :eek: :eek:

    So shes off up the doctors tomorrow and will ring the school afterwards if it is what I think it is (though whooping cough and hand and mouth were going round the school as well)

    Only upside is if im right, she'll be over it by christmas day :o

    Still chucking pennies in the pot but not spending much as havent been able to go out :(

    I am considering potting the £30 is that allowed?

    Are you seriously asking THAT question, Ruth? YES a thousand times yes!!!!
    Got a scan from DD1 today. Twins are doing well and growing nicely. Happy days :T.

    All best wishes for your DD3 to go abroad, Susanne, and wonderful news about the twins!!! :A:A

    Many thanks, mossy and BTW, you've just earned your 1st gold star! :staradmin Keep it polished! A lovely welcome.

    Terrific news, Emily, I'm thrilled for you! :D

    Hi jakes-mum, I do hope little Lilly is soon feeling much better and that you'll be able to console her IF she's unable to go to school and the play. :( A hug from me for her please.

    There are some really GREAT savings going on, folk, and whether it's a little or a lot, it's best off in your pot!!
    Have a lovely Thursday, all.

    Hello been AWOL for ages!

    When can we open our pots?

    (Pot two for me as I already opened the first one)

    Ooh is this next years thread so to speak?
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    I'd love to do this! I don't have an amount set in stone at the moment but some spending money for our camping trip in the summer would be nice. :)

    Only allowed if it is going into my pot :D:D! Of course it is allowed. Put it in quickly before you spend it!

    I will look after it in my pot for you ;)

    Right then that's £35.48 potted :D YAY

    Also, with that massive boost i have now potted more than 10% of last years total and it's not even the end of december yet :) Although last year i potted a lot in the first few months then slowed down as the months went on.

    Bunny82, all the lovely folk here make this...the best thread on MSE (or so sparky christened us ages ago! :j). Join in and have fun as well as saving and budgeting!

    Hello been AWOL for ages!

    Oh dear, Ruby! As AlTeREgO says that was a fortnight ago today when we started, but you're not the only late one so don't worry. Though, where've you been all year. :angry: Lovely that you have 2 pots though and look forward to viewing the Total sum! :j
    Just popping in to say a little 56p potted today - it's all going in the right direction I guess!

    56p is VERY good, Savingforsomeday, be happy with it! :D

    Thank you and well done, AlTeREgO! That saved me a job and showed kindness to a fellow member so it's a gold star for you. :staradmin

    WELL done, slowlyfading!!

    You too from yesterday, getting-there-slowly, very well saved.

    10p is good, Lordhightiggythe3rd, and a whole lot better than none p as my little DGS says he's got. :(

    Excellently saved, Ruth!!!! :j That's what the thread's all about so why not save rather than spend. BTW, for all the stirling work on the "Reminder" thread and a lovely welcome here - a gold star for you. :staradmin
    Have a great day all, beware of ICE and get the brollies ready!
