    Part of the Furniture 1,000 Posts Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning.... :)


    LoL Sue....My Ex is a good Friend and he didn't mind me frisking him too much.... :D I'm just lucky to have him in my Life.


    Feeling grim this morning....Have an Abcess under my Arm...I used to suffer from them a long time ago but haven't had one this bad for AGES....When I used to have them I used to have to go to the Hospital to get them sorted....hopefully it won't come to that with this one....Have started Antibiotics so hopefully that will do the trick!!


    Am leaving for Work at 5.15am!!!! Not my usual time but I've been given a small promotion, kind of, where I will earn an extra £4 an hour....So it's definitely worth it!! We'll see how it goes....not sure if it will last as it's based on my Results....so we'll see....but that's why I'm up at this time of the morning!!


    I Potted about £1.50 last night.....My Pot is making a lovely sound when I drop the Coins in now....so I'm pleased with that....


    Won't be back until later this Afternoon....so I'll see you all then xXX

    Morning all! hickles69 - OMG!!I can't believe you've lost your rings, - do let us know when they turn up. I'm disappointed on your behalf that you don't appear to get much support in your household and this is obviously very worrying.
    I've potted £1.40 this morning.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • Hope you find your ring soon Hickels!

    Potted €1 and some change over the weekend but Haven't spent too much the past few days so bout to pot!!

    SueUU I need to get my hair cut too before Xmas but going to try my old hairdresser as the last twice I have been it's been a new girl and I've not been as pleased with it - having short hair is worse than being bald! :eek: (long hair is much easier I think?) but well if I can get some of those £3 coins I'll put up with a bad hair cut - where did your lovely DH get those :D

    On a potting front just my daily fiver for taking lunch into work again today

    Excellent work, Meowhouse, your pot will be mounting up really fast with that daily £5 you're saving on lunches. :dance:

    We're lucky re the hair cuts as both DH & I have ours done and get on with her wonderfully, I just have a sort of phobia about it being cut and won't go until I really have to. We gave her 2 lovely pens (DH made them via wood turning) and she gave us a delightful Christmas table decoration she'd made herself. I LOVE it!! :DBTW, the coins he gave me were from sending the Christmas cards.

    I'm so very sorry to hear about your rings, Hicks, if it was 'one of them' that took them then that's a really low act!!!!! :mad: Saying that, I still hope that they turn up for you and there was no thieving. {{{hugs}}} to you.

    Brilliant work with your budgeting, Woodster!! :T Stay focused with more of the same.
    Sue I am thrilled for you,getting that much money back just for asking.I must phone up about my own £200-odd this week :o

    We are absolutely chuffed to bits at our money, Saver-upper, especially as we didn't think anything other than it had to roll over. Neither of us can even remember the full amount the chap said as we were just sooo excited!!! :j All that is thanks to you!!!! :kisses3:

    ooooh, Helen, I can sympathise with you there, had one on my gum years ago (was terrified on typing bum then! :rotfl:) but if it needs lancing then don't wait too long! Well done on the extra hourly payment!

    Well done, everyone on some really great saving!!! It's marvellous when folk are so committed.

    Enjoy your Tuesday folks. Save well and pot well! :j
