£2 coin in the £2 tin and 80p in the big tin

DS had his moulds done for his braces today so DH popped into as*a for me and as they had custard on 50p. bought me 20 tins
he knows me so well
It seems the cashier asked him what the heck I was making for tea tonight :rotfl: also was very housewifey and made gluten free rockyroad today, Miss Lily, Jakester and DH all had to make sure it was up to standard
it seems it passed inspection :rotfl: Have to go out tomorrow on a coloured icing hunt as need to make miss lily her birthday cake and am attempting a minecraft cake
I have a good idea of what I want to do, I just dont want to fuss about trying to make my own icing into a rollable consistency :eek: also need to make gluten free buns to go round the edge for the jakester as well so a busy next few days for me

I'm sure we'd all completely agree with that statement, Peony, amazing how it does. :j
You must be saving so very well, Jellybaby, excellent.
Good for you for being realistic with the book, Sams, it's what counts now that matters.

Managed to do a pocket raid yesterday from DH and potted £1.05. Potted £1.15 change from my purse today. A quiet day today and tomorrow. Hope to head out Wednesday and get some change :j
You frightened the life out of me for a minute there, Hollygym, I thought you'd pocket raided ALL your visitors!!!! :eek: Ah well, better luck next time. :rotfl:
All best wishes that the SP note will be ok with your work, amiehall, it would do if you'd handed it in to any of us!
They're a rip off full stop, little_sweetie, but something ought to have been done ages ago for patients visitors and out-patients, it's appalling! :mad:
Yes, please update us, Monkeyballs.
queendiorable - please would you pop your SPC No on your signature for me as it is vital? Thank you.
Brilliant potting, Cauliflower!! You didn't say your little treasure was only 7 months old, bless her, I do so hope she's soon properly well. Teething per chance? :A Please give her a lovely cuddle from me - for me too!
Delighted to hear the trip was so successful, lucyhope, and that the weather was good, for that alone you were extremely lucky!
Here's hoping you'll be fortunate, Caz!!! :j
Oh what a rotten shame, Meowhouse, so pricey to get put right too.
Hi Thrifty Fashionista, good to see you. Would you please put your new No on your siggy for me, thank you.Have a good Tuesday, folks, save, save and keep on saving.
PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers! 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.
