  • Hey x-raphael-xx,
    I have been meaning to tell you.....

    I went to the movies with the kids last week,and there is a Ninja turtle movie coming to the cinemas (sorry,don't remember when).I was sitting in the cinema,thinking "I must remember to tell x-raphael-xx."

    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.

    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!

    jakes-mum and Sue - Thanks. Got £75 in total, but had to buy new saucepans from M&S. Had to get some new ones as we had the other ones for a very long time.

    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:

    I have started pot 3 today. 65p potted.

    Pot 2 weighed 6.34kg, very nearly a stone :eek:

    i hope everyone has had a great weekend

    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!
