    Hi savers!

    Just a shiny £2 coin for me today. Had to use 2x £1 in car park yesterday & another 3x £1 because a friend couldn't change £5 for a card I'd bought. Bummer. The main pot feels about half full though & I'm sure two or thred notes went in just after xmas. Can't wait to open it ��

    Morning all SPCers! I hope you've had a fantastic weekend, really enjoying yourselves. So, the winds are back in force, better than rain though, but not an enjoyable summer because of it! Mustn't grumble...! Take care everyone, keep safe, healthy and...happy! For all those in need of some love and hugs to help you through here are some especially for each of you {{{hugs}}} take special care of yourselves.

    Well Sue-UU - your poor DH he. Shingles is nasty, at the best of times, but to have it in the mouth sounds dreadful. Sending some gw vibes and hope it soon clears up. Am sending you some ((hugs)) as well as you really have enough on your plate already.

    Hope you all enjoying the 'summer' and your holidays past, present or looming. The proper summer weather will probably arrive around 17th September as that's when we go away to see DS in Ibiza again forums.moneysavingexpert.com

    Lx


    Thank you so very much for your lovely thoughts, Lynne, everyone else too, thank you all. It's been really nasty and so painful - BUT - "we'll hit it hard" the Dentist said and thankfully it seems as though that's exactly what's happening as already it's becoming less painful and has reduced a little in size!! He has to go back and see him on Friday, so hopefully it will soon be cleared up - and not spread to his body as I'd feared! We're going away on holiday for a week on Saturday so the break I'm sure will help, the sea air too. So, will Ibiza be ready for you come September 17th then Lynne, doubt it but.....!

    I haven't been around for a while as I had a baby four weeks ago so it's been a busy month adjusting to sleepless nights while looking after my two year old!


    Hi JoJo and congratulations to you and the family!!!! :j:T:j How lovely that your eldest Son is besotted with him, makes a world of difference when the eldest one/s take to it. Please give the latest arrival a huge cuddle for me, and well done with the savings. :D

    A great idea to have THE day off as well as the 6th Nov to go shopping, 32b3, though you're really doing well with your Christmas shopping - I wish I was that far ahead! :( I see we'll both be off at the same time, you be sure to have a great time. :j


    Great saving, DeafLeopard, you're doing marvellously, keep going! :D

    Still hard at it then, Hope, good for you.

    Hang fire and have patience, owlet, the 5th Nov will come round soon enough. For now...keep saving you'll amount more in that time for sure!

    Yes, I remember Hi-de-hi, Helen, wasn't too keen on it though. Good for you for remaining positive - saving well also! :D

    Gardening Lynsey! :eek: If it's like it is down yer you'll be blown away with the pixies. :rotfl:


    You're all doing amazingly with your savings, folks, keep going hard, you'll be so pleased with yourselves at the end. :j


    Have a really lovely day,everyone, and bless those pots with your kindness - summat like that anyway! forums.moneysavingexpert.com
