hi everyone:)
NSD today so nothing to add to pot.
Hope you all have a great new year0 -
Evening potters:)
Happy new year everyone & big welcomes to newbies & returners :wave:
Well I also go an apology for all the change I got from being in the vets this morning with the cat (little did she know how much I was smiling and clapping with glee inside) I told her it was ok and not a problem!!:T
Also saved more at lunch as used a tesco voucher for £3.50 so a freebie for me and yes you've guessed where the money is now!:o
Hubby has already had a few drinks to welcome in the new year and left a pile of change on the landing! Silly man! As long as I can convince him he gave it to me to pot it will go in there tommorow - well if he's daft enough to leave it lying around and all that ( he might remember what he has done in the morning tho? So might need to tell him a little white one)
Hope everyone has a fab night take care everyone xxMeowhouse SPC #7 no 199 £560.58

Little treasures Sue :eek: little terrors more like it :mad: they did not enjoy their day in their bedrooms, it was very boring it seems, though I caught Miss Lily listening to music on her DS and Jake facebooking on his phone! I had to be really stern with them about not thinking about what they had done, but inside I was creasing up over their bold brass cheek and craftiness :rotfl: They wouldnt have been up there half as long if they had [STRIKE]covered up their disobedience[/STRIKE] done as they were told

Nu1isit - its the eldest, he has these great ideas at the most inopportune moments and youngest is all for following his lead
Well been out today and got 6 rolls of christmas wrap for £1 and went to waitr0se to have a nosey at the reduced chocolates and came away with 30 x popping candy freddo frogs at 5p each, a box of 25 mini haribo bags for £1.14 (for miss lilys party bags, it really does help my wallet with her having a birthday right after the new year
) a freddo frog selection box for 75p as a little birthday present, a white chocolate owl for 62p and a box of giant choco buttons for 50p for DH's birthday (nice long dates as his isnt till april :rotfl:) and because [STRIKE]they were cheap[/STRIKE] I love him so dearly, 6 quality street purple bars at 16p each
even with my potatoes and bread, I spent under a £10er 
Handful of change in the pot, Dh was saving scrapnel up in a little tub, so being the thoughtful wife I am, I changed it all up for a 50p from my purse and potted it all, strictly to stop it hanging round the house annoying people obviously
Right im going to bed as I am not one for staying up to watch the new year in, it knows where to find me and it will see me at a much more sociable hour of my choosing :rotfl:
