    Sorry to be awol. I'm still chucking everything silver and copper in my pot so it isn't going hungry. Just no £1 coins lately. We've paid for a tree to be chopped down, £200 :eek:, hired a wood chipper and then my laptop conked out :mad: and a new one cost £289 from T3sco but at least I got the points with it. :D


    Welcome to our new potters, enjoy saving.

    Hugs to all who need one.

    I've finally decided what I'm going to put my money towards when I open my pot! I start university next year and because of how full on that will be I think I'll put it towards going travelling somewhere in the summer when I finish my first year! I know this isn't very money-savingesque but if I've saved for it I don't feel as bad spending it

    I think that's a fabulous idea, parksandrec! Whether it's very MSE or not is totally irrelevant as we also need to save in order that we can enjoy life. If the last 3 weeks have taught me anything, it's that we all need to live life while we can, not wasting money, but enjoying saving it and then spending it as we need. Look forward to having a fantastic time!! :jWell done with that extra £1.

    Well done with your latest wallet raid, Dizzy Imp, though it's grossly unfair of him not to treat you to a note, well now and again at least. :D

    I guessed you'd know exactly what I was talking about re the chicken, siju, cor doesn't that ammonia pong! BTW, a gold star to you for a great ideafor parksandrec. :staradmin Great potting too!

    You get badges with the Fitbit Sue, it tells you how far you have walked. I think my last one was the Japan badge, but I'm not positive Is your car a Toyota by any chance? I got an airbag recall letter which said they would let me know when they had the stock in and I should take the car in then. They haven't let me know yet.

    It's been snowing here today, and there was thunder which sounded like an explosion.

    65p potted today.

    No, not a Toyota, 32b3, ours is a Honda CRV (for towing) and were they ever long-winded about it all too! :( It literally did take months! Still, all finished now. I hope yours doesn't take too long as it's always nice to get these things sorted. BTW yes, re Fitbit, I've quite a stash of badges, the latest one being a Spaceship for climbing 14000 lifetime floors!! :j Just imagine doing that lot in a day!!! :eek:

    YAY!!! That £20 win is just amazing, Westie, very well done!!!!! :T
    Good saving again, Chutney!
    £3.50 potted today. Pot nearly full now but I have another empty one waiting to be fed! :D

    It's good to know you're well prepared, Dragon Lily! Keep dropping it in and it won't be long. :D

    Oh dear Modesty, why do these things always seem to come at once I wonder.....to make sure we have one good moan and get it over with perhaps! :rotfl: Fingers crossed!!

    A tough week and yesterday was the funeral of our dear friend's son, the crematorium was absolutely packed with so many standing all around too, some comfort for his wife, children and parents to know he was liked so very well.
    Our DD had another appointment with her Neuro consultant as well, as she's relapsed again she now needs to go onto another drug IF she hasn't had chicken pox! If she hasn't then she can't have it, and guess who can't remember whether she and her brother have or not. :undecided Too many years gone by with too many kiddie ailments.

    Enjoy a WONDERFUL BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND, Potters! Don't let your pots go hungry!
