A very good evening Sealed Potters! Oooh it's so bally cold one tonight, but it was such a beautiful day. So, here we are, a step closer to the weekend I'm sure you're all waiting for!!!! :j For all those of you who are poorly or a little low for whatever reason, I hope you soon feel so very much better. Here are some {{{hugs}}} to hopefully help you through.debtfreeby30? wrote: »Hello I'm wondering if I could sneak in and join yous again?
Would definately like to have at least £200 saved by the end of the challenge this year. Hubby is on board with trying harder to save and we have a small amount from last week's shopping money in the jar! I have bagged £30 from last year and we're going to get that changed into £1 coins for our large jar to see how many we can have at end of the year.
A very warm welcome home, debtfreeby30!! :grinheartIt's always wonderful to have members return to save, I hope you and your DH do extremely well between you!crimson.addict wrote: »We went on holiday for my birthday (16th) / valentines to climb Scafell Pike. I spent all Sunday night crying in bed in pain but it was well worth it.
Saturday night i found £10!! Woohoo!! There was noone else walking so i couldn't give it back to it's owner.

Thanks so much for checking debtfreeby30 on the list and finding her for me (for her too, but...), Ruth, I'm so grateful to you. A gold star is yours! :staradmin Same as the others, I also thought you meant it was your 16th Birthday though I knew it wasn't, not with the time you've been with us. Belated Birthday greetings to you and congratulations for that and for climbing Scafell Pike!!!! :T Plus the £10er!!! Fantastic!!!!! :j
Quite a puzzle for sure, 32b3, but someone may even have been looking kindly over you, whatever happened, a splendid job!!!!!! :T
Well done, Selene and Val, hard saving/budgeting pays off well!
You too, ETO, all best wishes to your Mum, I hope she's doing relatively well and at least she has the children to help her through, such a bonus.What an excellent idea Sue-UU. If only the powers that be had your common sense! Thanks to all the other potters who have commented on this theme - it seems there are more hospitals charging than I thought!
Thank you, siju, what I can't believe is that those sat on their backsides in offices haven't thought of it...though as I said on Tuesday, they're happy screwing the lot of us, but I bet a bob they don't pay to park!!!!jakes-mum wrote:Oooo Sue, it looks so lovely, we now have a lampshade but are waiting a while till we get curtains / blind and wall decorations so we get a 'feel' for the room and what it needsAm seriously leaning toward some sort of metal wall art to go on our chimney breast though
Hope you DD is starting to feel a bit better xx
*Thank you so much for those words, jakes-mum, she had her latest top to toe MRI with contrast yesterday, hopefully that might help the Neuro team to help her.
BTW, how about a knight complete with chain mal uniform for your fireplace!! :rotfl:
Great saving, NeedToBeDebtFree!
...you too, Dragon Lily.
That's such good work, mrs-moneypenny, boy will that pay off!! :j
Ah..there's more eh, lexbubbles, good for you.

Hello! May I please join the challenge? I have a terramundi that I put all my £2 and 50p coins in
I also put £52 a week in (ten years of that and I'd be mortgage free) can I count that or is it too much? I guess I could deduct all the notes come count up time0
