    What a saving on the car wash, purple angel, excellent potting!

    Ok peaceandfreedom, your Target's updated, better luck reaching it this time around. At least you've made a good start too.

    I know what you mean, mossy, life's often just too busy at times. I'll just be happy with the times when we're graced with your presence though. ;)

    Hi All,
    Have fantastic news. I passed my university module that I remained studying throughout my chemo. So chuffed with myself, because the last one I wrote the assignment whilst laid up in bed struggling with chemo symptoms. So today I have huge grin on my face. Next module starts in February :)

    I have potted some change today in my new sealed tin. Feeling excited at the new challenge, as the money for this one will be going towards a holiday booking at the end of next year. If that's not incentive to save, I don't know what is :)

    Absolutely right with that last bit, Nell!!!!! :dance: You more than deserve that.

    So many congratulations on passing that nodule, too Nell, you're just amazing in spite of having faced so much!!! :T :j
    Ta for the loan, mossy.

    Hi Donna, did you want me to put the £500 as your Target?

    You had too much sun or summat, Saver-upper?! Mwwwahhh to you too! :D

    Can i set my target for £400 please Sue. Haven't been on to reply to you. Wonder what the total for 2013 will be ?

    Well done, shinner, and your Target's updated.

    All the best in saving for the holiday, Anna, I'm pretty sure that's where a sizable chunk of ours will go. :j

    A £10er in the pot after shopping. Very happy.
    Have a lovely evening, folks, saving too where possible.

    Hello potters :hello:

    I don't have an unsealed pot at the min BUT am getting a new one for Christmas - yay! I know this as I was with my Mum at the time of purchase, I let her pick which design, just a cheapie one so will keep me going for a little while.
    Potted a few bits of change in the not-so-sealed pot which included 5p roadkill.

    Will aim for £400 as a target for this coming year.

    I LOVE my sealed pots :j

    Cheapy or not at least it's a pot! I'd have made a good poet - cry! :o

    You did VERY well, curly! :D It's good to see you over here now and aiming high again. BTW, I took the liberty of popping the £400 as your Target, if you'd rather I didn't I can easily take it off, what d'you reckon?

    Good to see you back...and I LOVE my sealed pots too :j

    Sorry jofish2669 I forgot to put you on the list for a little while, but you're there now. ;)

    Thanks Sue for adding my target - I don't mind at all, it helps keep me motivated :)

    Out 'scanning' (as my OH would say) tomorrow round the park for some roadkill. We have 2 swans made their way onto the pond there too so will go for a visit as they never stay for long but are lovely to see.
