    Evening

    £2.81 potted for me today. I got 2 new tyres for my car. Hopefully I won't need to spend any money on the car until the end of May 2014 now. Not that I spend much on it, this is the first time I have ever bought tyres.

    Hope everyone is ok

    Off to bed now as I've got my 9 month old Grandson tomorrow for the day.
    Going to be doing lots of free things with him such as the park, library and go round the town and Parish church to show him the Christmas lights.
    Back to mine then for some good home made food and a nap.

    Tidying and especially cleaning hadn't better be bad for us, mossy, I did loads earlier! Get this.......I even polished!!!!!! :dance:Oooops sorry, shameful lingo I know. :o

    Good grief woman, are you feeling alright. You're talking gibberish...what is this polish you talk of....all that cleaning must have gone to your head!! :D :rotfl: :grinheart

    I got a big box of FREE shortbread from the coop today with the shop save scan app. Very happy about that, in to the Christmas cupboard it went! :rudolf: Although the woman and the manager made me feel like a complete numpty as they made such a big fuss about doing it!! Embarrassed much!! :eek: :o Still it was free so I grinned and bared it!! ;)

    Also went to icy along with other shops today and saved 20p on their bread offer so potted that. ;) Then had to go out to the shops again as DD has terrible toothache and we had run out of calpol. Feeling like such a terrible mum. :cry: Booked a dentist appointment yesterday, but couldn't get one until Monday. Poor little mite.... :(
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    Potted another £6.20 tonight after a Christmas Party at the local Carvery....am completely stuffed after TWO (yes two :o) Prawn Cocktails (one was going spare)...and then the Carvery itself...and then Strudel....soooo I'll be going to bed well and truly full!!
  • Some silver thrown into DD's charity box.....I think I may be the only one feeding it though as she's working her little cotton socks off and hasn't been in the house much for the last week :)

    And shiny £2 and £1 coins potted......think I may ask santa for a terramundi pot and a steel ruler :xmassmile

    Should have worded that better, I took £10 out of the atm to pay for parking. Pot needs opening with a tin opener, no chance it will be open before next November.

    Believe it or not I have read that post umpteen times :rotfl:I blame baby brain.

    Not to worry, Nikki, though I'll possibly put it down to the same thing.

    Oh very well done or shall we say maneuvered, sparky. ;)

    Bless her, EchoDelta, imagine what she'll have by next November. :A

    After reading the first 5 posts of names/numbers I have finally found mine!!!
    I joined this a couple of years ago, but unfortunately life got in the way and I was AWOL from the site for a long time. Back now and more determined than ever! If you will have me back that is... :o

    I've sealed my pot and have christened it with all the change from my purse, a lovely £5.80 :T Looking forward to see what I can save towards Crimbo next year!

    It's wonderful to see you back with us, Eyebright, please be aware though that all the Nos well change asap, so please keep an eye out for your new one.

    If you can keep up that £10er a day, sexyshark, it's going to be wonderful for you next November! :j

    It's great news that you've got the tyres so quickly, 32b3, very wise indeed as you really can't be too safe. ;)

    Have a wonderful day, KittyBoo, and enjoy his company. :A

    Good to hear you had a fantastic night, Rosy, we'll say no more about the 1st post. Ever felt you couldn't win. :cool:

    Some good savings, mossy. Your poor lass has a long time to wait, thank goodness it happened before they closed at Christmas. I know they have emergency Nos, but it seems a long time til Monday.

    Oh you can't blame your dear Wife, glassy, he takes priority now he's 1....or any other age! :A

    So pleased you had a wonderful night, Helen, you deserved it.

    Oh well done, MissE!! At least someone reads the 1st post!!!! _party_ :jWill you have anything left to go in a Terramundi!!! :rotfl:
    Goodnight, everyone, sleep well.
