Hi Dancing Unicorn my job is to place trainee teachers in schools (well me and the other 13 members of my team) :rotfl:
Good luck on your course!SPCNo.17 #20 (16 £678; 15 £1120.92; 14 £416.53; 13 £191.52; 12 £260.48; 11 £480.95; 10 £682.31; 9 £442.64)0 -
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:
Exciting, I hope you manage to get one for Flight of Passage...they had a 3 hour wait time the other week!! :eek: I'm sure they must keep some fast passes back for people who book at 30 days and I know we've had a change of plans and cancelled fast passes before so it's always worth checking everyday.
I love a good plan too! I even have a folder for them.Although it is 'flexible'!!
You do need a bit of a plan if you want to get the most out of it and when you think about how much it costs...I definitely want to get my monies worth!!
Potted a lonely 10p today.
BTW are you on the dibb? I'm guessing you've probably come across it in your planning.Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!:starmod: Emergency Fund Savings - #148 - £10/£1000 1% :starmod::xmastree:#083 SPC6 £63 - SPC7 £90 - SPC8 £63 - SPC9 £54 - SPC10 £26 - SPC12 £70 :xmastree:0 -

I am on the Dibb right now, its open in another tab :rotfl: I absolutely love a planner! I have 3 on the go right now, the 'stuff I stumble across on google that needs sorting', the 'daily plans for each day with copious notes that also needs sorting' and the 'bible that is beautifully written with no creases to pages, no spelling errors or crossings outs, that is written in a specific order of flight/car/villa info, restaurant info, daily itinerarys and misc info we might need' :rotfl: no-one touches the bible! :rotfl:
I really hope we strike lucky on the Flights of Passage as theres no way DH and I could stand for an hour let alone 3, I have resigned myself to missing it so if I miraculously get a slot (and you'll all know cos my squeal of triumph will be heard across the land!) its just a bit of icing on an already amazing cake.
My current gripe is coupons! every site 'download our amazing app!' go to app store . . . 'sorry but this app is not available in your country' . . . . obv Apple doesn't think people travel to other countriesI really wanted to be an extreme couponer! :rotfl:
Better put some potting news of Sue will pull my hair! I had 1 x £2 and 3 x £1 for the pot todayAND! I won £5 on the free postcode lottery :j :j I finally found that pesky flash fiver thingy! haven't received it yet but still chuffed i finally spotted it, only took me 6 years to win :rotfl:

ahhh sorry to hear you have been unwell sue-uu, or read should I say. I hope you are able to enjoy a holiday. D'S isn't far past 2 years old so he's a little unsure. We talk about it a little and he giggles and rubs his belly whilst saying 'ahhh baby. We have a lot of baby stuff still so nothing to buy so pleased with that but my boy keeps telling me it's all his. going to spend mummy and Jack days talking about letting baby use some of it as we go. he's good at sharing really.
On a separate note I had a clean up of my car and handbag but it went in the pit before I could count it. well over £10 as I recall at least 3 £2 coins and at least 2 £1 coins and a lot of shrapnel...... I have asked my other half to pop some in as I want to get £425 now as that will pay for a months nursery..... my other half rarely uses cash and I stupidly got him his own tin for fathers day to encourage him to save - he's to use it to take our boy to his first football match.
anyways that's enough of my rambling.
Have a good week folks.SPC#19 - 7-£666.54, 8-£489, 9-£264 10-£376 11- £305.8p 12 £329 13 - £315 14/£214 15 £177 16 £253 SPC 17 £0 of £250

Afternoon Potters
DH and I had a lovely few days away last week in Somerset. DS and his girlfriend came to stay for the weekend - I'd forgotten how much that boy eats :eek: I seemed to spend most of the weekend in the kitchen making food................ I'm ready for another holiday now!
Anyway, I need to read through all the previous posts to catch up on the SPC world....Hope all is well with my fellow potters.
Didn't manage to pot anything last week but I have £4.89 to pot today. Have a good week everyone. :jSPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.830
