    A Very Happy Birthday


    dear little_sweetie!!:bdaycake: :beer:


    I hope you a marvellous day and that the evening will be a good one as well. In fact, have a good year! :j


    I'm hoping you keep as pain-free as possible from here on, dinglefoot. Best wishes and {{{hugs}}}

    Hiya Lost,:hello: good to see you, with a hefty sum of cash too! :D


    Rosy, I make myself chuckle I can tell you, a good job too with some of the folk here! :doh::idea:Not that I would mention any names! :silenced:


    No problem about the £5er, charleybear, it's quite understandable. I'm really pleased you've settled down a bit now too. ;) Time....


    Brilliant saving, Helen, so, would you like me to pop the Target of £350 on page 1 for you? Just say the word if you do.

    Q? For you experienced potters.
    I want my bagged coins to be rounded up to exactly £10, £20 for example on the 28th Nov - ONLY 4 WEEKS TODAY. :j
    So, would it be ok to have a holding pot now to round up the bags as needed and anything left over could start off next years challenge?
    Am I too fussy and just go with the flow?? :D

    Don't worry, Lynsey, we're used to [STRIKE]awkward b's[/STRIKE] fussy folk here, how could we not be! :( I think I understand you (though not entirely sure anymore! _pale_) but whatever it is - yes that'll be fine. :D


    You always get one...two..or more he, Ruth?! I'm pleased it wasn't me alone who was confused!

    Ok, mummytummy,that's fine. There y'are see, Ruth, I rest my case! :wall:

    Yes Please Sue-UU thanks very much

    Ok, Nellie, it's all done for you so you now have a great £500 Target to look forward too. So, a lot of feeding for the giant pig! :money:

    Don't you worry, lynnejk, your time'll come soon enough. It's good to have you, and all members, joining in with the hilarities that go on here, hard saving too mind. :D

    Every little helps indeed,pinknfluffy, so never knock small amounts - as they soon add up.

    Bit fed up as opening the pot day is fast approaching and after raiding mine for the car its feeling very light! Whatever is in I will add to the sum I used and declare that as my total, if that is ok? I would have used it for the car anyway.

    That'll be just fine, mommyof4, I couldn't have asked for better!

    Good to see you saving hard, LittleOwl. Be sure not to get too tempted by hidden Christmas goodies though! :naughty:

    Then you gently remind your pot to "WAIT you little [STRIKE]!!!!!![/STRIKE] beggar!", jakes-mum!!! He/she/it should know by now, same as you, that it's the date on Page 1 that counts. Now behave yourself. :mad:

    £3.32 has just gone in the UU pot. There won't be many more saving days for me, well, not unless DH rattles as he goes past me!! :rotfl:
    Have awonderful weekend, potters, just DON'T forget to save!!

    Whoopee! £5.30 potted for me today!
    It's not about getting what you want, It's about wanting what you get.
  • £2.33 potted today, leftovers of my weekly spend. Was really hoping to be more but I spent too much this week. :D

    Little_sweetie - wishing you a very happy birthday, hope you've had a lovely day. xxxx

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    little_sweetie - a belated "happy Birthday" - hope you had a great day.

    Sue - lol

    Nothing potted yesterday, but should get bits today.
    I'm aiming for around another £30 for my "pot" (though it will only take another £5-£10 as I'm sliding coins in side-ways now - lol).
    So, I'll have to use another pot anyway.
    Those cardboard whisky cartons hold a lot of money and more than I'd first thought and mine is only a 70cl one!!

    Have a great weekend and be lucky.

    Lynsey
