Poepue

Hi All,

I'm new to MSE *waves*

I think this is a fantastic idea! Is it too late to join?

If not, please pop me down for a £1000 target

Are there any rules?

Hi, I'm another newbie to this thread. This sounds like just the thing to help kick start my savings in 2014. My target is £100.

WOW Everyone what a fantastic total!! I'm blown away and even more determined than before to be a part of 2014 well done:beer:

Sue-UU and sparky I can only echo the thanks for all the hard work time and dedication that you both spend for all us potters! I've not been here long but can already feel the love :heart2:

THANKYOU to everyone for your well wishes - I'm thrilled with with the news from the hosp and my cold I think is now getting better!

I too have now finished and wrapped all my prezzies and they are under the tree :xmastree:

Got the money that I needed from the bank today but not yet sorted it for my pot but will be doing that tommorow along with a £20 note as I've not bought lunch again to work today - how righteous do I feel, well - until my boss said he won four grand from some clever betting on the football at the weekend - well that was it - would love some of that! But can't afford the money he uses so gave him a tenner - will be ecstatic if he can turn it into more for me on Boxing Day - my only flutter - well it is christmas! this will not be a regular occurrence I too have stopped doing the lottery since it went up so would have spent more that this on that waste of time! Hardly ever even won a tenner:(

Finally welcome to all new & returning potters:j and glad you've not left us jakes mum:T

Merry Christmas everyone - he's nearly here xx

Many thanks for the welcome, little_sweetie, I couldn't get on earlier due to not having big network problems. A gold star for you. :staradmin BTW, not too surprised at the manic shopping up there given the weather here since 5am this morning - an STILL raging now!!! :eek: Really scary weather.

A gold star for you also, Rosy. :staradmin Thank you so much for covering with the latter members.


Well done, shiningfaery, it HAD to happen! :j

Cue lots OH rummages bless him don't think he knows what I'm up too . I relocated a £10 note last night, I have £5 note & change left so will chuck it in the pot.

I can't condone that sort of behaviour, claireyfairy! :eek: Bet he thinks he's onto a winner there!! :kisses2:

That poor bird's going to get mighty confused, jakes-mum, he'll be demanding "Match of the day" on soon. Look out what he does with the ball then! :rotfl:

It's perfectly fine to start for real after the festivities are over, sh1305.

Whoops ToniLiz! That's the first time you've sounded serious. :eek:

Were you really the one she offended, sh1305?? Shake hands girls...and laugh about it tomorrow. :beer:

Potted 5 shiny £1 coins today from an ebay sale. I can feel an addiction starting here with this saving malarkey but it's a much better one than my online shopping addiction which I am going cold turkey from - I managed to resist buying anything from the Next VIP sale yesterday which is amazing for me :j

What a fantastic turnaround, Tracy!!! :j Stick with the wonderful new you. :A Well..almost.

Isn't it just brilliant, LC 2?!!! Sadly, sparky hasn't been on and I've just realised he said he was going visiting. I thought he meant tomorrow. :wall:
I am soooo sorry, sparky, I'm in a muddle with the days and I know you love this time of the year with the GT. I feel awful having just realised. You should have mailed me back to make sure I was clear, I'd gladly have halted it all. I just dearly hope you've had a chance to look through the thread from where you are.

Slowly, slowly indeed, VickyA.

I understand exactly, Piquant, I used to do the same and this time of year was busy, but happy and had plenty of tips, I hope you to too. You've done really great with the £20.

It'll happen soon enough, Eyebright, enjoy the in between part in the meantime.

1) WOW :money: (re total - obviously )

2) Happy Christmas!!! :xmastree::xmastree::xmassign::xmastree::xmastree:

3) Why do I have a cold???!!!! :mad:

All I'm going to say, Observer, is: WOW indeed!! :j

Same to you also.....:xmastree::xmastree::xmassign::xmastree::xmastree:

.....and I don't know, but I do hope is soon goes.

Fabulous total! Thank you Sue and Sparky for all your hard work. (Does this mean we can give the reminder thread the elbow Sue? :rotfl: )

I don't see why not, Modesty, just as well. I'll get it closed tomorrow (today!)

Jakes-mum, don't scare us like that again! I thought we'd lost you! :eek:

:silenced: :rotfl: She's back to stay, Modesty, though she wasn't gone long enough to count her as having done so - IF that makes sense? :huh:

I'm so pleased you're so happy with us, Meowhouse. Good luck with a win, but be careful.

mummytummy that is BRILLIANT!!!!!!! :T Caz will be absolutely delighted with your help - me too and here's a gold star for helping out in such a terrific way. :staradmin

The gales are dying out at last!!! :jKeep SAFE everyone and have a good night.


PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers now. You'll see there are LOADS less names and numbers now, but it's useless having folk on the list that no longer save with us. However, if old members return then you'll be made very welcome and can still have your name added and be given a new number. Please change numbers ASAP folks.

If you've already updated your No, please could you kindly make sure it's correct as I made a blunder to start with!

Very many thanks indeed.

Sue x

Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's NEVER too late. There may be a lot of us, but don't be shy, we're a lovely lot, so come on in. :grinheart

Ooooh I used to post here a few years ago I think but I probably raided my pot long ago! I'm looking to have a serious year of saving this year, just need to track down a pot... Hoping I can get stuck in after that. I actually have a tonne of change weighing down my purse at the moment!

I have a coffee jar I can use in the interim but I'm too scared of stabbing myself to cut a hole in the lid so I can't seal it at the moment haha!

frugaldances

Having spent on Xmas presents and going slightly over I saved £5 in my purse for a taxi because of theta input as my bf picked me up I've potted it! My first note :-):j

lynnejk

What a fantastic Total for SPC6 :dance: Well done everyone :dance: Now DH can see what I'm on about :rotfl: I really think that so much of this is down to all the hard work from Sue-UU and Sparky and they deserve a medal.

In case I get lost in preparation Happy Christmas everyone - I can't make the smilies work so imagine some Christmas trees!

Hi - I can't get them either anymore but if you click on 'more' at bottom of list and when it opens expand it - you then get all the keyboard details for the smilies. They don't all work but the majority do

Spent a bloomin fortune on that bird and he wants a cr*ppy yoyo from Miss Lilys school cracker :rotfl:

It's the same syndrome when kids play with the boxes instead of the toys :rotfl: Glad you're feeling better



Potted my £1 today and also 98p change from turkey :huh:


Hope you all have a super Christmas Eve
