    Happy Birthday Lucyhope....I hope you have a VERY special day!! xXx :)


    Well I have a cold....I think it's my first one this Year so I shouldn't really complain.....but it's horrible....and since my main Job is on the Phone it's not easy to talk when my nose is constantly dripping!! Oh well....this to will pass... :)


    Haven't Potted anything this Weekend as I haven't been out at all....Been hibernating indoors....But I'm going out to spend Father's Day with my Grandad and Family....need to get some more Flu/Cold Capsules while I'm out so I should have something to Pot when I get home....


    *Hugs* to anyone that needs them....Chat to you all later on xXx :)

    Morning all, silly o'clock for me, but just seen DS off on his holidays. He's 19 and off to Malia. Heaven help them! Anyway, I think he has everything and he was picked up by his friend in good time for the taxi to the airport so I'm sure he'll be ok.


    Not much potting going on for me, although I have filled my dog money box so I have had to separate out the notes from the coins and decant both into separate containers. I will start to re-fill the dog now, it is a much nicer experience putting money in a money box than in a plastic box.


    Hope everyone is ok. Can't get back to sleep now, I'll browse the forum until I feel sleepy again.

    Hi all,I am scooping in a few coins and the odd note here and there. The egg man didn't see his envelope with a tenner in it on Friday so I potted that. Will have to find another for next week for him!

    The kids continue to put in a coin (silver only accepted) when they've had a ride in mum's taxi. It has got them asking questions about the cost of running a car which can't be a bad thing. And has prompted me to pull out my insurance papers as I need to make a claim for bodywork damage I did some time ago on a tight exit from a carpark. I don't have accidents with moving vehicles (touch wood) but give me a wall, a rockery, a postbox (yes really) then I'm your woman to scrape the car. Doh. Expensive business.

    Evening all.

    lucyhope - Birthday wishes. Hope you had a great day and were spoilt rotten.

    Potted 1 x £2 coin and 7 x £1 coins.
    I'm setting myself a target of £650 by the end of June. The only way I'll get to £1000 - or near - is to set targets.

    Hello everyone :)

    It's Miami here, but as you can see, I've started fresh on a new account. :) I decided that a clean slate would be beneficial for me so that I can make a completely new start on my finances. I've spent too long burying my head in the sand, so a new account featuring me post-LBM is hopefully going to help keep me motivated without me burying my head in the sand.

    Sue-UU my old number was #080 but if it's possible I would like a new number please, also I'd like to reduce my goal to £1,000. :(

    Nothing potted this weekend as I'm still recovering from a nasty case of the flu, but should have money to pot post-hospital tomorrow as their restaurant is cash-only so I'll have change :D
    SPC - #483 [banked £134.15] - :staradmin :staradmin gold stars from Sue-UU!
    VSP - #33 [29.8%] | 3-6 Month EF - #41 [12.6%] | £1,000 EF - #186 [4%] | Save £6k in 2016 - #180 [24.6%]
