Morning all.
ali bf - welcome to both MSE and this thread. Sue (our leader) will allocate you a number once she's back on. Good luck with your target (£400) and also with other stuff (your sig).
Have a read of page 1 (if you haven't already).
Nothing potted for myself today yet ............................... the supermarkets aren't open!!
I've spent too much last week on bits (been decorating) and need a few frugal weeks. I'm loving the cheap food offers though, some great savings to be made at the minute and may it continue.

Morning everyone
What a night!
We had pizza and beer to watch the Eurovision Song Contest ( I know!) and my brother wanted to pay half towards the beer ( I was feeling generous and said no, so he said put it in your pot!) I have never put that much in before and was really hesitant, so he put it in! I screamed out loud as he did it! Yohoo! :beer:
Forgot to mention it was £10!!!0 -

Sue - its not me honest! trouble just seems to find me :rotfl:
Hope78 - good luck with your interviews
Pickle29 - Don't worry, your not alone, I watched Eurovision too Can't believe we managed to scrape 40 points and finish 17th, said to DH the way we're going, give it 5 years and we might actually finish on the left hand side of the leader board :rotfl:
