  • Mumzy - congrats on your son getting into the school you wanted :)

    I don't post on here a lot (or anywhere really (too shy) :) ), but I'm so excited. If it wasn't for this thread and the Live on £4000 thread, I would not be going away for a few days holiday tomorrow!! I've used some unexpected (unbudgeted) money to pay for a coach tour to Scotland for 5 days, and my spending money is coming from the £2 coins that I've been saving in a separate pot to my Sealed Challenge (which in itself is almost full - will need to find new pot soon). So this morning I released £80 in £2 coins back into the wild via the building society and now have 8 crisp shiney new £10 notes to spend. Wah hay :)

    Thanks everyone for the inspirational posts and for the sense of community that comes through in the posts - I feel as if I belong even though I am the (very) distant relative that you only see on high days and holidays.

    Take care all
    Fi

    Come and join us on here more often Fi, at least i now know where all these £2 coins are coming from! lol
    Mumzy - you lucky lucky thing!!!!

  • All these £2 coins suddenly released into the wild. My whisky jar is full and winking at me. Shall I count it????
