Hello : ) I joined last years challenge but I'm afraid I frazzled out rather quickly, although I did carry on with my pot, I found updating the thread quite difficult, life distracted me with a new pregnancy and now baby... but I'm back now, and ready to try again if you can forgive me??

Don't worry, Pennydreams3, of course you're forgiven, who couldn't let you off with the pregnancy and birth of a little treasure, congratulations to you both/all!!!! :T PS. Your No is 123, please pop it on your siggy as it helps me no end.



Hello again Potters!! :hello: It's so good to be popping in again. Sadly, we've still not finished all the unpacking.....boxes everywhere and indoors as well as out, I never thought folk could hoard sooooooo much and think view it as treasures!!! :eek: I've never seen such shocked removal men!! This is definitely a work in progress! Still, I won't forget you and hope you're all ok. One thing you are doing is saving brilliantly, do keep it up folks!!!!!!!! :j

Thanks for checking about Ruth, Westie, perhaps when I've got time I'll send her a PM and see if everything is oka, but thanks anyway.


I don't know about kind 32b3, but when neighbours need help and especially with them having the severely physically and mentally handicapped DD how can you not help them! As they had a large house, there's quite a bit to shift after 54 years lived in the one home! So it's a busy task but I wouldn't wish to see them doing it alone. They have another perfectly able-bodied DD, lovely girl, whose helping and so is her husband so by Friday we saw them safely into their new home which will be considerably smaller but...! There'll still be much to do next week but we'll get there!


Don't worry about the tears, mrs-moneypenny, you're perfectly normal, it happens to all us loving Mums. It's such a huge part of your DD's life and, not just she, but all the family and especially, Mums always shed tears when we see them in THE DRESS!!!! Wait till the day itself, you'll have more than a few tears then! We raise and nurture them all those years and then........give them away!!!!! :eek: Be proud and enjoy the day itself. PS. Just seen your latest post about your £600+ o/t money......excellent work!!!!! :j So pleased you've popped it on your siggy!


Oooh you're doing well MLE007, stay strong!!


What an incredible win Antomac, you must've been absolutely beside yourself to realise it was such an incredible amount!!!!!! :eek:Many congratulations to you, fantastic!!!!! :T:j

So terribly sad to read about the loss of your dear and very young friend, but I'm so pleased you had such an honour to play in a very sad event. Sincere condolences to all his loved ones.
Not "nice" Ant, but neighbourly yes. We're still in the thick of it - talk about hoarders indoors and out!!!! :shocked:

You've got the accents spot on with the farmers and pirates though I wouldn't like to say which is which! I would like to point out at this stage that I'm from Hampshire.....not that there's any difference!! :rotfl:



Good to see you siju, though I'm as absent as you've been lately. So long as we're saving it's fine.


Good for you Chutney and a fantastic find with the £1!!!!!!


Well done with the tickets booked and July to look forward to, MrsShazbat! I really don't like him at all, never did in SB either but we all have different tastes and a good job to!


Ah sadly we can't have it always, Florence, but either way you're saving. I have 6 NSDs a week myself and we're not alone! Well done with the footie money!!


All best wishes that you'll get takers for your items on GT, Cinders! Still thinking of you.



Ah there you are Saver-upper!! Don't worry, January was a heck of a month for us all, but then February came along....!!!!! Very well done on your potting!!


You're ok scatterbrain, all voucher cash can definitely be included in your savings, so brilliant work!! :j

Hi Emily it's so good to see you making an appearance. :wave: It's lovely to know folk don't forget us.

Well done Lynne! So you've a holiday to look forward to once again then, and we all know that the looking forward is nearly as exciting as the holiday itself!!!


Oh what a bloomin shame, Dizzy Imp, those poor chicken are going to need to work twice as hard from here on! Ah well.:cool:


Can't say I blame you with keeping the crafting fare cash out, plumduff, at least you saved some as well!!

Yet another plastic £5er saved then, 3forholidays, great work!!


Although I personally wouldn't worry about it, donkids22 I see your reasoning. Just don't forget to declare ALL your savings in November!


Brilliant spotting, potting too Kim!!! Gives you a happy happy happy feeling for a good while!!! :j

You're truly addicted already Money Rollercoaster, very well done!!!

£20 in the pot for DH & myself post shopping plus 2p roadkill!!!!

Have a lovely Tuesday, Potters, feed those pots well!!!
