    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.
    Just popped in to welcome more newbies and keep on track (moves so fast) - good luck to those joining up and to those new to MSE.

    Off shopping soon for Brother and not too sure if I'll pot anything today - we'll see.

    Bad weather areas - keep safe and warm. Not too bad up here in the North East, especially compared to other areas. Hope we don't have it to come!!

    Good morning everyone
    £21 deposited into the sealed pot today to cover the 7 nights we're away for. Looks like my DW is getting her wish for snow in New York they're expecting 10" of the stuff. The excitement is building in sparky towers, off to the airport early hours Sunday morning.

    Stay safe & keep saving, see you a week Monday.


    Hi Everyone

    Sorry I've been missing but was staking out the airport for SPARKY had my case and mobile to call Jakes=Mum when Sparky appeared but never saw him :(:(

    You don't think he was hiding from us do you.?


    Thank you for my star SUE :T

    Off to get my eyes tested perhaps I should have gone before looking for SPARKY :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Lots of pennies in the pot over the weekend

    Well I went bargain shopping and was really pleased with my finds, next christmas certainly sorted with cards and decorations, and even some gifts. Got a lot of bargain food at M&S. All happy............ then returned to find a parking fine on my car. Totally my fault for misreading the parking sign. Doh! Wiped out all savings.

    Potted little bit silver.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        Afternoon all,

        Welcome to all new people.

        Before I forget, frugaldances don't feel bad about taking £10 from your pot, for you and your daughter have had a fun time together and created good memories.

        Slim pickings today of £1.83 that i found when tidying up the master bedroom.

        I stuck my first note in my pot today! A tenner as well! :eek:
        Got it from my brother when he put some food in my basket at the SM at new year. Well it has just sat in my purse since, so I've decided to just pot it!

        Hi to all the new potters, welcome aboard! You will soon find out how very addictive this is! :D

        Slightly random, but found 1p in my shoe when I was changing into them when I got to work this morning! That'll go in the pot when I get home :)
