Don't worry, I certainly know about it! I've been waiting months for it!! I know there's also a second film planned too.Debt Free as of 17/01/2009 Turtle Power!!

Ty I do like getting parcels through the post, my poor postman always looks a bit jittery when he sees me as i'm like those women off the shoe advert :rotfl::T:T Did you refer him to your last conversation about comping being a waste of time?
Funnily enough I did mention it when we were driving home in the car and it seems he never said it was a waste of time . . . he said there were loads of people entering them Amazing how his memory of events change when he realises hes talking rubbish
Its now been lovingly put in the cupboard in the kitchen with the oven dishes as he doesn't want it contaminated by our toaster :rotfl: I suppose I have to be pleased he's being cross contamination vigilant, can only be a good habit to have :T
£3 into the pot from ebay sales, have got another £36 to go in but haven't got it out of paypal yet.
EDIT: Ahh Ty Lynne, you must be a mind reader as was just saying to DH that I should get some of those bags as DS does like a cheese and ham toastie but I hate the mess he leaves behind under the grill!SPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £2470.95/£1000 (19) £0/£10000 -

Excellent work, Kerry...and you even have a new set of pans out of it, it has to be good! :grinheart
Well done on the toaster, jakes-mum!! Though I had to chuckle at Rosy's retort to your comment about Jake. :rotfl:32b3in2013 wrote: »I have started pot 3 today. 65p potted.
Pot 2 weighed 6.34kg, very nearly a stone :eek:

That's one heck of a LOT of savings in pot 2, 32b3, makes me all tingly at the thought of how much nearly a stone could be in cash! :eek:
Brilliant banking, Rosy!Keep up with the potting, SPCers, it's getting closer.....just over 9 weeks to go!!Have a lovely evening and Tuesday, folks, and, keep filling those pots!
