  • Not bad not bad. Lady Stunty is recovering from her illness nicely. Work's crap, BUT i did get some loose change today, after some silly schoolboys invented a new game of throwing said loose change at each other. lol.

  • hi all,

    I had to open my pot last night - needs must and im so glad i did - i had £106.47 in there which is enough to keep me in the black while i try and sort out the mess my life is in (OH has ended our marriage so im a bit lost)

    Will be in next year and will be trying not to open the pot at all.

    (also ive got another one that im going to start to use now for the pennies and £2 etc so i might have something for Crimbo)

    Don't worry about opening your pot.Just take your time to sort yourself out.It's obviously come as a bit of a shock to you.Remember there are people out there who can help and don't try to sort everything out on your own.Have you family around you?

    Oh and well done on saving so much.It's amazing how quick it grows doesn't it :)

    I'm so sorry to hear that Puzzled. I totally agree with the ladies on here. Take your time to sort yourself out. And big hugs for you.

    Phil the Pig is still being fed and I'll be back in next year with Phil the second pig. Haven't a clue what's in my sealed pot but he got a few more pennies this week. I gave up weighing when he went over the 5kg weight my scales can measure.

    Best wishes to all :)

    Hi Puzzled, not to worry, at least you had it there at a time you perhaps needed it most, so don't feel bad about it as I expect we'd all have done the same given the same situation.

    All the very best for a far brighter future, there's always a blue sky after the clouds have lifted. Keep looking ahead. :)
