    Morning all and to a decent day here. Still a little breezy and cloudy, but warm.

    missjec - welcome to both MSE and this thread - good luck with your savings. Hopefully this thread will help with your "erratic" spendings. Christmas does tend to creep up and perhaps next year you'll get that for "free".

    Sue - it wasn't as windy up here as in other parts, so did get a bit of gardening / tidying up done. Enjoy your holiday.

    Potted 3 x £1 coins = £3.

    Off for a cheap carvery lunch this afternoon - Crown Carveries. Not the best, but we both received a £3 voucher to "tempt us back". So, only £1.29 for the carvery. Plenty of other Mitchells & Butlers vouchers received (Toby etc), so cheap eats over the next week. Worth signing up to.

    Congratulations on little baby Sams arrival JoJoC. He's very lucky he has a big brother to take care of him.

    Sue - I hope you Mr feels better soon. It sounds terrible!!

    Welcome to missjec and any other newbies joined :)


    Went to a BBQ last night. I won £10 in £1 coins on a raffle (it was like it was meant to be, the rest of the prizes were in note form) and found £6.94 change at the bottom of my bag! Also added £2.32 in change. I'm on a roll lol.

    Evening all.
    Where do i sign up???

    https://www.crowncarveries.co.uk/signup
    Sign up to all Mitchells & Butlers outlets in your area and you will be rewarded eventually. Sometimes for doing little surveys etc.
    Brands include Toby, Ember Inns, Pitcher & Piano (good one and a free drink each month), Harvester, Sizzling Pubs, John Barras etc. Sign up to them all.
    http://www.mbplc.com/ourbrands/

    Quite a few in the Crown Carvery today with vouchers. I had the carvery, hubby the half chicken.
    Toby next I think (half-price food there for up to 6 guests) or John Barras (£10 off a £20 food spend).

    £2 x £2 coins potted today = £4 - that's 4 x £2 coins this week after a bit of a lull.
