DL is that some kind of game? come home and seek out the pennies, I think i like that idea...
Scotmumof3 I am trying my best to keep in to myself, which is why I have spent another day in bed, but thats okay right... lazy days, Im actually feeling better this afternoon, I can hope that is getting ready to vacate my body and move on.... heres hoping....
No potting but got compensation finally from Npow as they are a bunch of useless puppets so have been playing around with YNAB, can't wait for pay day on Monday to get some the red figures back to black....
I think so, Westie
My DH loves playing jokes. I love finding the 50ps, though. I wonder where I'm going to find one next :rotfl: He loves the idea of me saving in the sealed pot. I've never been really good at saving so the SCP and £12K challenge are really good. They keep me motivated. My pot is getting nice and heavy now too :j
Friday gold coin collection is £2.50.
Have a great weekend everyone.

I have however this very day potted 96p!!!Every little helps!!!
Had some good news in the shape of hubbys PPI claim was reinvestigated and he is getting a payment back!!! so we are decided on wither to pay off some of debt or put towards that new boiler we need. (we have lasted 4 months now without a boiler so hubby wants it to be used towards debt!) Also hoping that I get a letter to say mines has been reinvestigated as we both got them within a week of each other and were both defo missold so we shall see!

Am trying to keep this cold to myself honest! Blew my nose yesterday and cracked my ear, my god it was painful, but for all of 10 minutes I could hear! :rotfl:
Been a good girl and sorted out new ISA's for DH and I, new savings accounts for the kids (as their old ones are really cac interest rates), changed DD's rubbish trust fund into a junior ISA AND sorted DS a junior ISA. Haven't told them yet about the ISA's (the savings accounts are secret for when they are older and go off to university) but will be handing them both the books and explaining that they are for them to save in themselves and for every £1 they put in I will match it up to £20 a month in the vain hope it will encourage DS 'he of the hole in the pocket' to save for driving lessons etc for when he's older.
£2 coin in the £2 coin tin and some schrapnel in the other tin. Am now back off to annoy myself some more with this stupid irritating cough :mad: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) £225/£10000 -

£4 potted to round the pot up, I am feeling slightly better by that I mean my head no longer feels like its drowning in a bucket of water and swishes around when I shake my head, My ears are still sore but some hearing is coming back just have to keep clearing my ears like I do when scuba diving so I get some hearing back....
I am now at the husky voice sore throat stage, which to be honest I prefer to the snotty Mcgrotty stage... Ive asked him to vacate my body and to move on, lets hope he agrees and moves on, I have a day out with my brownies tomorrow to Amberley Museum so really want to feel better at least to be able to cope with 15, 7 - 10 year olds all chattering at the same time.... I then have a 5 year old birthday on Sunday - on a any other weekend I would love to be in company of such lively children but not sure Im feeling the love right now....
signature updated, roll on payday....

Well I've been potting a bit through the week, and have just checked my purse and found three lovely £1 coins which I'll put in the pot on my way to bed.
My cold is going now although my voice still isn't good. Hope everyone else is feeling better too.
Happy weekend everyone!Declutter our home in 2024
