    Evening

    Cazzie, Good news about the underpayment and not having to pay back the £200 too. Well done on another 1lb off, you are doing well :D

    Bubbs, what effect does rice have? it badly affects my weight loss, I can be an angel all week and one spoon of rice and i will put on a lb or more. I know it happens, I just don't know why.

    Have a great holiday Sue, sorry you have not been well, I hope your holiday helps you to recover xx

    £8.67 potted today.

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    Evening Potters!!

    Oooo Sue, enjoy your holibobs!

    Well done Cazzie on another 1lb loss and to bubbs for a maintaining weight week :j

    Another £500 changed to dollars which now means we are dollared up and any further monies will be saved to pay off any shopping on the clarity card that Mr Lewis told me I had to get for foreign spending :D

    No pennies for the pot today as i did all the shopping with the bank card :( Don't think i'll be spending over the weekend either as i've got nothing I need to buy :eek: empty pot syndrome!

    Ahh 32b3! if I see someone with a gun and tyres in their trolley i'll be asking them to pose with me for a selfie! :rotfl: 'excuse me sir, but im from the UK and well . . . we don't have guns, nor do we buy tyres at the supermarket so would you mind terribly if I selfied with you to prove to my English friends that you really DO have guns and tyres on the shelf at ASDA? . . ASDA mate! ASDA!! its what we call Walmart back home . . no I have no idea why its not Walmart, probably the same reason that snickers called their chocolate Marathon in the UK when it first came out . . . no, im not taking the mickey . . . seriously, marathon!' poor bloke wont know whats hit him :rotfl:

    I now need to go and sit and do the countdown to 12 o clock when its officially Disney fastpass time!!! :eek: :eek: :eek:

    This is brilliant, I would love to watch that happen!! :rotfl:

    I hope you got all the fast passes you wanted! I did ours last month...I helped the children get their hot dinners and then sprinted (well not really...no running in the corridors but you know what I mean) to the classroom to get them all booked during my lunch hour!! ;) :j

    I hope you have a lovely holiday Sue. :)

    Potted a little bit of shrapnel today. I don't really use money to pay for shopping anymore as we try to put everything on the amex to get air-miles! :p Good for holidays...not so good for the pot!! :o
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!

    My Money Managing Ways
  • Thank you Sue! I am definitely going to try the "roadkill" method. It's amazing how much money you see on the floor but I always feel a bit daft picking it up. From now on I'm putting that feeling aside and picking up every penny I see. I've also started picking up receipts left in Tesco and claiming their clubcard points (I'm not counting this towards my SPC though).
    Hope you have a fabulous holiday!

    Got paid from my part time job today so I've got £60 spendings for the next 4 weeks. Any of this that doesn't get spent goes into my pot so that's incentive to have some no spend days if ever I needed it!

    Poor Americans, they have nooooooooo idea what's in store for them when my feet land on their soil :rotfl:

    As we are staying offsite I have to go on everyday for the next 2 weeks to book my fastpasses :eek: Today is day 4 and so far, apart from 7 dwarfs and the rocking horse poo ride that is Flight of Passage, i've got all fast passes we want for 3 of the parks. Today's fast passes will be for Magic Kingdom again to hoover up a few from tomorrowland and hopefully 7 dwarfs (as we are bypassing tomorrowland and whatever land 7 dwarfs is in on first day) for an evening visit so we can do a water park in morning. I have this awesome plan going on for each day . . . so we all know it will go out the window by day 3 :rotfl:
