    I have been a little naughty toight:o I bought tea from the chip shop. BUT that's only because I had plumbers turn up at 4.30pm and didn't leave until after my hubby had got home at 5.20pm. By then he wanted to go out for his run so we decided to have something from the chippy. Anyway, I have still managed to get £4.30 in my pot again so not too bad.

    Hi everyone,
    Can I join in with the sealed pot challenge? I'm trying the grocery challenge as well as the 'Live on £4000 a year challenge'
    This website is so addictive - the amount of time I spend on here stops me shopping - sad
    I aim to put any change I have at the end of a week into the pot from the grocery challenge. Also I'll put any money I make from the hens (eight of them) after they have paid for their own food.

    Welcome.I also signed up to all the other challenges.you're right it is addictive lol.oh by the way you're member 203 :)

    Hi,

    I cant believe how many posts there are on this forum. Last time I logged on, there were about 20 (ish) pages :confused:.

    Anyhow, I am back up and running with this forum, and I will get round to reading all of the posts :rolleyes:.

    What are the main gossip points that I have missed.
