    Evening

    I agree Sue, MPs should be ashamed of themselves sometimes. I have been to PMQs a few times and am always surprised by the way they behave. Its like a school playground :eek:

    I think I just potted £1.79, but I had forgotten how much was there by the time I got back from the tin to the computer:mad:;)

    I hope everyone is ok.

    Welcome seaotter,

    What operation are you recovering from? I have just finished one recovery and now I'm onto my second one.

    It was a hysterectomy, but you probably didn't want to know that!!

    Thanks for the welcome, Westie983 and Sue.

    Seaotter,

    That's quite a big operation I wish you a speedy recovery, if I wasn't interested I wouldn't have asked, it's all part of life's problems and issues and sent to those who someone somewhere thinks can cope with it, best of Britain you are back to being you soon.

    Have potted another £2.30 today.
    2016 was both financially and emotionally. 2017 will be our year.

  • Morning Everyone :)


    Well I have woken up this morning with a rotten stinking headache :( And feeling sick.... :(


    BUT...On the Plus side, I am Potting £5 this morning :D


    Sue...I haven't been to that place in Germany...but it sounds very romantic, just the name....I have a desire to go back to Switzerland...I went when I was about 8 years old but remember absolutely loving it!! Although I believe it's rather expensive to go there....so we shall see...


    Lynne...That's FABULOUS!!! Thank Goodness you didn't just think "Oh it's a packet of ciggies, I'd better just throw it away"....Whereabouts are you saving up to go on Holiday? Hope it's somewhere nice :)


    Welcome to the Newbies....You are MOST welcome to be here....and I hope you thoroughly enjoy the Savings!!


    I'm going to go and chill out and hopefully I will feel better after something to eat!!


    See you all later on xXx :)
  • Potted roughly twenty pounds in the last week to ten days, from not going for a coffee as planned, and change from several five and ten pound notes. Lost track of what's in there now. :)

    Hope you are all well. :D
    No debt left now. Saved £111 in our sealed pot last year. And £272.13 this year! Also we have £2300 in savings. :j

    SPC #468 :D Target £250 for 2015.
