Mummyof4, happened to notice your signature, so thought you might like to know I also "accidentally" dropped some of the chicken's meal worms where I know the robins will make use of them and OH has donated a seed feeder from L*dl to the garden for winter. It's great to watch them all making the most of our little offerings!Stash busting 2014 45 / 60 (balls of yarn)!

2p to pot later. I found 1p roadkill and 1p on my "ex" bed. We've sorted thongs out and are friends for now but We would like to he together again when we've settled down a little and focused on college/uni , and "in a few years" I could say to my parents we're back together. Though we said that there is no one else, if we meet some one we will still be friends .FebNSD:1/14 (TotalNSDs:12NSDs|SPC#054 £0.52(£6.00 banked)|RR#90Jan£0.07(Total:£0.07)|ES:£1.00/£50.00|£6.00/£359.00SavingsRepayment0

Evening everyone and sorry for being AWOL for so long but have been sooooo busy... but not too busy to count up the pot! Smashed target :T, so have more than doubled it for 2014 in the hope that I am not being too ambitious!! Started off this new year's pot with 2013's leftover shrapnel plus a whole bunch of £2 coins, so must keep on feeding it!
Well done to everyone on their super saving totals, and here's to another fab year!
Thank you to Sue and Sparky for keeping everything running; it's much appreciated.
:D
Am so looking forward to our reward trip to Skeggy in January... :rotfl:SPC No. 104 (oh no I've lost my magic 2000!)

Target for SPC 2014: £500
