    Afternoon,


    Another 50p potted for me today so up to £3 now. My tin still feels rather light, but that should change over the next few months :D

    The trouble with NSD is that you get no new change to pot!
      To those who are given much, much is expected

            Happy New Year 50p savers!


            I have two 50ps in my purse but my pot is under a pile of stuff - we are having a clean out, was meant to be done by yesterday but oh boy do we have a lot crap !


            I was wondering about something I read this morning,


            the phrase


            "You have another thing coming"


            A grammar website says it should be "another think coming"


            I always imagine a mother telling off a child - "if you think you can speak to me like that you have another thing coming!!!


            as in a slap etc ;) not that I am condoning violence to children but you get the idea.


            any how sad grammar ramblings aside have a lovely new year's day

            Hi can I join in?

            I save my 50ps anyway esp for the SCP challenge and already have a few potted.

            I'll just start tallying now though.
            Barclaycard: £4,217.55/£5 = 0.11% | Tesco £3,810.55/£3,770.55 = 1.05%
            Total: £8,027.80/£5 = 100%/0.06%
            Mortgage £99,692/£51,652.33 51.8%
            Car Loan: £9,217.20/7,527.38 81.67%
