    Well here's hoping you're still feeling better now you're (hopefully) out of bed, jakes-mum...I know psyching yourself up, right!
    You crafty blighter you on starting on your DH's mate.....and succeeding too!!!!!!!!! :eek: I'm absolutely shocked, although as it was successful, what more can I say, apart from send him on down my way!! :rotfl: <<" I'll have to try and get another £2.49 off him another day so I can give him a £5 note">> she says, but you'd super-glue the blighter to your fingers first!!! :rotfl:

    Yup, still feeling ok Sue and have been up and out looking at bikes for DD as she is really WAAAAAAY to big for hers now, wont be buying it till the spring though unless I see a really good offer as i've nowhere to store the thing! :eek:

    It was Jake's mate not DH's lol, if it had been DH's mate I wouldn't have thought twice about taking any change offered, but even I draw the line at coercing money from a teenager :rotfl:

    Talking of change, I have FINALLY been to thhe bank and changed up the remainder of DS's loan payment, so a fantabulous 27 x £2 coins in the £2 coin tin and £1.37 in the schrapnel tin :D

    HI - I would like to join the SPC 2016. Tin sealed and ready for action!

    Welcome to the thread nows the time, . . . well I just wrote an awesome welcome and then realised you already have a number! :rotfl:

    You don't have to ask to rejoin us as you were already a member last year so you get carried over with us to this years challenge :T Sue only hands out the numbers of old potters to new potters if they don't return after a year (usually if they haven't come back to declare their savings, we'll just assume they left us :()

    So carry on saving :D

    Got a very grown up pot for my money now - went into Poundland and got a Minnie Mouse one!! Just what I want as all sealed and everything. I've decanted my £1.83 from my temporary pot and now put that and some extra into my official one so have a grand total of £12.38 in there as added change from going shopping today! £10 is from some money that has been lying around on my shelf - not been touched so going to save it. Kerching!

  • Added more coins today! :) Found some more in another of my many college bags haha
    On a downside caught the hubby taking some change out for car parking... Is that ground for divorce? ;)
