    I saw the piggy bank you mean in there the other night, i want one too but as i already am doing the sealed pot challenge i will just stick with my terramundi! As being able to get the money out will be too tempting!

    I was going to join up too for the sealed pot challenge but sometimes i have to break into my saving to pay things off so didnt join.
    The piggy bank is so cute isnt it!:D

    With the sealed pot challenge at least people can get my pretty terramundis!!!

    I have saved £20ish so far, so addictive, just can't bear the thought of smashing it next year! :o

    Ive just come back from a tiny bit of shopping. I had to go and use my £5 matalan voucher as it ends of 24th December. I brought a cute reindeer decoration with it. :D

    Then i popped to asda on the way home to buy some hundreds and thousands as im so bored today so decided to make some xmas tree biscuits for my nephew!:D I might post a picture later to show you all how they went!

    So total spend today 59p! :D not bad!

    Right im off to do a little bit of scouting for a while, then make a start on biscuits!

    Sorry to put a downer on things but today im feeling really unmotivated and lazy to do anything.:( But dont worry ive had a NSD today.

    I have a cold which dont help things. But i just feel down thinking how will me and OH ever buy a house of our own? The prices are so high and wages so low. Even if i was to find a full time job we still couldnt afford a mortage.:wall:

    I get so anoyyed because theres nothing for people with low incomes, you cant even get a council place unless your pregant, mentally ill, or disabled. Theres just no point in putting mine and OH details onto council list as we will always be at the bottom of the list until we have a baby.

    Do you think we should put our names on the council list? Is there any point?

    Today my sister in law who is due to give birth new years eve fell over at a family resturant. She was on her own and my 3 year old nephew was standing behind her she didnt know and fell backwards over him. So there was my nephew crying on the fall and a heavy pregant woman on the floor and not one person came over to help her!!!!:mad: :mad: The place was packed out and not one person including the staff didnt even ask if she was ok. Luckly she is ok though. How bad is that? :mad:

    God thats horrid, what nasty people!

    Hope your feeling a little more motivated today.

    I know how you feel about not being able to get a council house. Think you need to be foreign to even have a chance these days!

    I don't mind the rock songs on slicethepie, its all the hip hop and rap i hate! :rolleyes:

    Im back on track again today yes!:D

    I get a little depressed every now and again.but this forum soon cheers me and and gets me positive again! YAY!;)

    I think i will put mine and OH names on council list doesnt hurt doesnt it? Even though we will never get offered anywhere:o

    Had another NSD today, its really hard not to spend at this time of year. But im holding back any spare bit of money i have for the sales! w hooo! I will be stocking up on next years xmas cards and cheap decorations. Oh yeah and the next years birthday presents i normally buy in the sales! :D

    Update on the alloy wheels.... he said he will refund me in full as long as i wrap them up well and send them back to him by his courier on thursday. So thats all good hopefully. Im not going to bother with any new wheels now i only wanted them because they were a bargin! Now i know why they were! lol:rotfl: I will stick with my standard alloys.

    Hi guys,

    Well ive just printed off the council housing application form and well its going to take me two days to fill in! :rolleyes: I think i will leave that for the weekend as it needs details on both of us. I thought i might aswell put on names down!

    Work is so quiet on the run up to christmas, i know i shouldnt be complaining but i get so bored! I prefer to be busy than watch the clock the whole day!:rolleyes:

    I had a tiny spend today of £3.50 on newborn bids and socks for brothers soon to be baby. They were in the sale at boots of course though!:rotfl: :D

    Friday with my pay packet i will be getting my yearly £5 gift voucher christmas bonus!:rotfl: Better than nothing i suppose!:dance:
