    Hi there.

    I opened my sealed pot last night, and was expecting there to be about £160-£175ish to be honest. So I was aghast and amazed and thrilled, when there was over £270 in there!!! £272.13 to be exact. :j:j:j

    I was taken aback to say the least! :D

    Onwards and upwards to the shops to start the food/booze shopping for Christmas! :p

    And I should have at least £100 left over towards presents.

    It's been great fun this year, saving all the moneyzzzzzz. :T

    Hello NobodysChild, and congratulations to you on a great sum!!!!! :j:T:j It's just wonderful to see the total pleasure in members posts at how well they've done throughout the year!!!! PLEASE could you kindly pop your SPC No 468 on your siggie as it takes me so long to troll through the list??????
