  • I'm with you on that little_sweetie. December is passing in a whirl. Can't keep up with any of the threads at the mo. I just don't seem to stop.

    Anyway just a quick one to say £7 into little mans money box and £2.10 into mine. :D

    Have a good Sunday everyone.

    Potted my £1 for Saturday but I think I passed - should know Monday so holding my breath :)

    I really do hope it's tomorrow, Lynne - and that it's good news.
    I was in sealed pot challenge no. 6, but have nowhere near filled up my terramundi so am going to roll it over!

    Not sure whether it's a quirk of the terramundi pot or whether something fishy is going on in my house but it feels bizarrely empty considering how much I think I have popped into it...

    Hi mildredalien! It's really good to see you back. I'm of the same thinking as little_sweetie, hide it so no one can pilfer!! :mad:

    It's that horrible drizzle here in Somerset, getting-there-slowly, shan't be going far if anywhere in this, though it's much earlier than they'd forecast. :mad:

    Potting away nicely, no roadkill (DGDs get there first!) Have decided to give up on the Lottery and save the £4 a week we'd been spending on it, that'll be another £208 in the pot. A lot more than we've won over the years!

    That is the ONLY annoying thing about DGCs, lucyhope, we no longer get roadkill! DH & I are thinking the same about the lottery, we haven't acted on it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised if we do. We didn't miss £2 too much, but now it's £4......!

    Good to see you home, Lynsey. :D
    Hope everyone is well and warm...I'm sure I can smell bread baking...could that be our rosyq ??:D What time do you want us all round? :D

    Hi little_sweetie. That's the reason I've never thought of buying a breadmaker as I'd be terrified of eating too much and piling on lbs. :eek:

    Whoops! Just found ETO and ALM have snuck in!

    Far better to spend with cash than CC though, ALM. Well done with the £20 in the end though.

    I've a job keeping up with the thread 'n all ETO! :eek: It seems to fly by, just like the month. Good for you with the potting.
    :rudolf: Have a lovely, if wet, Sunday, potters, and keep safe and healthy! :xmassmile

    Just found 5p in a drawer, so into the pot it goes! Hurrah :j

    Hope everyone has a lovely Sunday. I need to blitz the house (a cunning way to look for more lost change to claim), and as it's raining there's nothing stopping me!

    Ooooh you're a shocking influence re mummytummy's little lad, Ruth, behave. :naughty: So, you may be getting a pup. Go on then, what type are you looking/hoping for?

    Mummy wants a toy poodle. We saw them yesterday and they were so adorable! I sat cross legged on the floor holding mum because she kept barking at us and me holding her seemed to calm her and she stopped barking. One of the little girls climbed between my legs and went to sleep :D which of course is the one i want however i have left the decision up to my mum. Once she decides which, if any, she wants i'll post a photo. For now, here's the one asleep between my legs

    The first night of the bird gardens christmas events was last night. I took out £6 to spend but was so so busy i didn't get time. Potted it last night with some other change.

  • Good morning Potters! :hello:



    Hmmm...:think: I think I would hide it mildredalien It sounds a bit dodgy to me.....
    x

    I know! I'm hoping it's just that the pot is quite big and i'm overestimating how much I've put in :)

    Determined to keep on top of it for the next year, I went through a phase of dropping at least £1 in every day but then forgot all about it, oops! I'm saving for a house deposit finally so hopefully I can have a nice boost to my savings at the end of next year :j
    Savings target: £25000/£25000

    I Need a Puppy!!

    That is just so cute. OK so I live in a top floor flat, ok that I am out all day but, but......... ok I cant have a puppy :(

    My overfed slug pot is drying and is slightly improving as it goes, I feel encouraged. It might yet be useable rather than laughable.

    Today my holding pot got £1 in change
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        £2025 in 2025 = £680.60
          Food Budget £180/9.30.

            She is so cute. Although why it's posted up side down I don't know.

            Whether your pot is usable or not at least you can say you tried and had fun doing so :D

            Neither can I which is why I have to let mother choose since it will need to be at her house under her care.

          4. Hi Everyone

            I'm back :j

            Poland was great but very cold. Did as Sparky told me went on the tour with the buggy (more like a milk float :rotfl::rotfl:) and went Shindlers factory which was great a more positive side to it!!

            Food was brilliant and very cheap found a lovely restaurant Sparky opposite the theatre doesn't look much but inside it's lovely and the food is really good try it if you get a chance .

            DH came home with money so got it changed and gave me £40 so into the pot it's gone.

            Will read posts now
