    Hey all, just declared my total on the last thread.. it took me a while to count it!! I didn't want to smash my pot of dreams money pot so had to sit and empty all the contents with tweezers!.. TWEEZERS!.. oh my.. my arms kill! haha anyways I had joined the group late and so it was about 3 months savings rather than the whole year.. but now I can't wait to see how much I pot for the year :) and I can use the same pot! :P

    *Edit* also the money is going to be used to treat myself in the sales.. so it will come in handy! :D

    Sorry Haven't read any post so get well soon to any feeling poorly ((Hugs )) to everyone.

    Sent DH Asxx While I changed beds and had a shower Told him I was having shower first so get in shower mobile rings I guessed it was him so thought I won't bother to answer as it won't be important it then rings twice more so get out of shower to answer:

    Me "Whats wrong"

    DH " Asxx doesn't open till 10 but you can go in but its only 9.30"

    Me "So"

    DH " Well I don't know if it's worth waiting"

    Me " So What exactly do you want me to about it"

    DH " Well what should I do?"

    Me " Well I'm dripping wet but if you want me to run over there and demand they serve you right I'm on my way"

    DH " there is no need to be funny I think I will go to the newsagents then come home"

    Me " Just do what you want"

    So he arrives back with no shopping then asks me what are we going to do about the shopping, when I said in my sweetest voice don't you worry you watch the re-run of the football I will go he waited till I went upstairs and called out I'm just off to Asxx!!!

    I wouldn't mind but we only needed a loaf he could have got that at the newsagents :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    BTW 30 mins later he still hasn't come home!!!

    probably snuck off to the bookies :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:


    Why is he such hard work?

    XLC2

    I have one just like yours, he cant seem to think for himself and needs me to tell him what to do.

    I swear it is like having an extra kid :rotfl:

    Anyway just on to say that I have potted £1 today

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Thank you for the welcome, I.m going to count what I have before I seal the pot up.
    I have done a similar thing in the past for Xmas's (but bank around every £40 or £50), but well in front now with savings there, so not for Xmas pressies ................................ but
    *Edit* also the money is going to be used to treat myself in the sales.. so it will come in handy! :D

    .............. that sounds like a good idea.

    I'll add my sig in January once I can get rid of the food challenge one.

    Number 1930 ................. easy to remember ...................... Corrie time. lol

  • Hello Potters :D...

    Hello everyone 41p in the pots today :j....The dog's on the naughty list now :eek:. I think he's having some sort of mid life crisis _pale_. He decided for some reason this morning it would be okay to revert back to being a puppy . His idea was to tear the ear of the DD's teddy bear, and gently pluck out the stuffing with his teeth. He's on a strict diet of non cuddling by the DD now :rotfl:. DW is going to try a Frankenstein like repair, on the bear :D.

    Happy Potting everyone :j.
