Mumzy, it's good to see your back. how was your hol? Stunty, centre parcs is great, we (when i was married) took DS & DD, they loved it and we still talk about it now and laugh about it now, OH woke up one night because there was a spider in the room and he hates them, so 'I' had to get rid of it, the thing I couldn't get over while I was there was how peaceful it was at night coming, we did live near the airport at that time so i guess anything is better than listening to planes taking off all day and night. I have not been putting much in my pot but i did put £5 in my online savings account. I hope everyone else is ok and a BIG hug from me if your not. :beer:
Hiya shelley,
How are you hun, well I hope, also hope your Dad is feeling better now. Our mad Jack Russel is barking at the gazebo, because rain water ahs collected in a puddle on one side, and she wants us to tip it over her (what goes on in a dogs mind eh!).

Hi molly,
We went to top up DW's car with petrol, cost us £40 to fill up 3/4 of a tank. The only good thing is the extra points for the morrisons points (Christmas beer!). Also went shopping for a few bits yesterday spent £99, everything's just gone so expensive lately. The only good thing about going to the garage was I found a penny on the floor, so that goes into my "road change pot", so far just over £3 in there.
Going to sign off now hun, take care & give my regards to the gang, when they come on line later. Will catch up later take care kid.Sparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002. Total for SPC3 £1,030.57 Total For SPC 4 £2247.00 Total for SPC 5 £2574.62 :T Total for SPC 6 £4552.91:T

Evening all, quick post as I'm knackered after packing for my hol tomorrow! Hope we're all ok. Dancing on Ice was awesome. The front row tickets were unbelievable. I actually got to touch Torvill and Dean (a big thing for me as they're my heroes!) AND (for Sparky) I got a kiss off Linda Lucardi too. She's REALLY nice! lol. Mind you, so's Bonnie Langford, Claire Buckfield, Suzanne Shaw..... I suppose the blokes are pretty handsome too for you ladies! Mrs S really loved it too.I am one of the 63336.'It is better to have lived one day as a tiger than a thousand years as a sheep.'
