    parksandrec -142 is your number as it was abandoned. :( Still, I'm sure you'll be taking care of it really well. :D

    Many thanks, mrs-moneypenny, for a great welcome aboard to parksandrec, for that you've earned yourself a shiny gold star! :staradmin

    Marvellous news, f0xholes!!!!! :T
    I joined a while back but not having much luck due to relationship problems (he ever used to pay for much at all and so I used my money on him when I shouldn't have) but now I've broken up with him & I want to start to rebuild my life again as I literally have no money saved up (had to use it to cover myself more than twice in the last 6 months)

    I'm going to have to count everything up again tomorrow - I have next to nothing left.

    It's really lovely to see you back, positivelypunked! I'm so pleasd you've started afresh all the way round and wish you much happiness from here on. Good luck with your savings too! :D

    Hello again, Emily! Great to see you though not a bit surprised you're still saving - I wouldn't have expected any different with you being you. :grinheart

    Not a bit surprised that hire cars are so much cheaper than trains, lucyhope, DH & I always found it that way some years ago. Have a really lovely time whenever the wedding is.

    I know you're unable to read this, Helen, but I'm soooooo pleased you've gone to your Brother and his family for a well-deserved break. Be sure to thoroughly enjoy yourself - and a safe journey home!

    Well done for relieving your DH of the cash he doesn't need, mossy! ;)

    Great to see you back, jakes-mum, and so pleased you had a really lovely time with the family! Bless your young'ns for enjoying the slots...you too for sharing!! :rotfl:

    So sorry to have been missing for a few days, SPCers, not been a good time for me illness wise, back to normal now. :) There's been such wonderful potting going on, so keep up the amazing work!!!! :j

    Have a super SUNDAY, Potters, enjoy yourselves. :DKeep up the potting too! :dance:

    Sue xx

    £2.29 in the pot this afternoon after doing all the shopping and still having a purse full of coins (good job we don't live near a canal), it would have been £4.29, but got mugged by the tooth fairy (£1) and conned by DS3 who 'forgot' his wallet (£1).

    Went to a wedding yesterday with free table wine and fizz, plus a few sneaky miniatures in my bag and other drinks bought for me, so brought home the £50 cash I took with me and it went in the pot today.

    Morning Everyone :)

    Well I'm back from Cornwall and struggling a bit to get back into the routine of work and stuff like that.....but I'll get there.... :) At least I don't have to go back on the Tube until tomorrow (Wednesday) so that's not so bad....and I have an Afternoon Trip out tomorrow afternoon with a Friend after I've Worked the morning so it's all good :D

    Cornwall was INCREDIBLE....I really needed the Break and I'm hoping to go back down in June if I can.....My Nephews and Nieces are growing up so fast and I love to see them and spend time with them as well as my Brother and his Wife....so what's not to like?? :T

    I managed to Pot 70p yesterday (I think that's what it was LoL :o).....and I'm pleased with that....I'm going to try and see if I can squirrel away £2.50 a week out of my Budget to pot, it may not sound like much but it will soon add up.... :cool: :cool: :cool:

    I'm sorry to hear that you've been ill Sue...I hope you're feeling MUCH better now.... :)

    *Hugs* to anyone that needs them....Chat to you all soon xXx :)
