  • Well done jakes-mum :)

    Mmmm crumbles smell yummy, even though I don't like eating them ;)

    Don't ask how I did it, but I was tidying up and found £45 in an envelope!!!!! No idea how I forgot about that!!!! It's gone in the pot as I think that's the place for it...if I csn forget about it as I did I don't need it right now and it can be potted! :D

    Apologies if I made any typos, I'm rather tired now and using my phone

    Debt-free and Proud!
    I have had the pot (it's a coffee jar with a screw top) for a while and might not have actually sealed the top.......naughty step for HOK3Y! :) Funny because I have already sealed the one for next year! I should probably do it......it can be one of the DFW things I did today!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all. Haven't put the heating on yet, but nearly!!
    No spend day yesterday, so nothing potted. I need bits today including stuff from Aldi's Super 6 before it changes tomorrow.
    Think I might go for some blackberries and make a nice crumble. Though hubby prefers a "tart" ......................... allegedly. :D

    dinglefoot - nice find and that'll boost your pot. Impressed with posting via your phone. I struggle to even make calls on mine!!

    DreamerHelen - you are on a roll and catching up. Keep going, we're all watching you. ;)

    Catch up later, hopefully with a few £'s.

    Take care all.

    Ah ty all, I'm really pleased as you have nooooooooo idea how much I've missed sweets! No biscuits, chocolate, ice cream or sweets has been a killer, so yay! Chocolate :D

    We are wondering if I just don't do we'll with cheap chocolate like cadb*rys and whatever they chuck in it to keep the price low, so I'm going to try th0rntons and l*ndt and see how they sit too :o, rather pay more for something than be poorly.

    Anyway, no pennies yet as I'm still in bed :rotfl: but need to attempt c0-op today for big rolls as I'm making cheesy meatball subs for tea with new potatoes :D

    Well done Crimson, positive thoughts :) I'm glad you're a bit better, it sounds like you're getting there. Don't worry, I'm sure you'll be fine :)

    My OH normally grumbles about me potting away money, but to my utter surprise he just waved a £5 note at me and told me he was going to put it in the pot :eek: I'm putting in £1.50 today, so £6.50 all together today :D

    Maybe he wanted to cheer you up after you being so poorly?

    cadb*rys hurts my mouth when i eat it. I have never been one to chew chocolate, i'm not that keen on it so i don't like to eat fast. I like it to melt in my mouth, with cadb*rys though this causes me pain like i've burnt my tongue...... strange i know.

    £7 in the pot as sold my lovely uncles old golf trolley on fleabay and the bloke collected and paid cash, £7 was the fleabay fees and ive already got money in payp*l so popped the money in the pot. Also 30p from the c0-op run (so pleased :D drove myself there and did the little shop without DH :D:D) the meatball subs were very well received by the family and DS informs me that he MUCH prefers them to spaghetti and meatballs . . . I think he might be trying to drop me a hint here :rotfl:

    Only problem with all these new recipe ideas is that I get some very disappointed faces round the dinner table when I serve up an old favourite :rotfl: :rotfl: . . well unless its accompanied by chips ;)
