    ....me too Lisa, it's such a marvellous time and a whole new life to look forward to playing such a huge part in! Oh, I'm broody ....again! ;)

    It does make you wonder about those managing shops when they can't look ahead to what they KNOW sells so well.:mad:

    Well done LC! 9 weeks???? :eek: Still, at least this year I have money stashed away and it feels SOOOOOOO great!:D I'll clear off before I really flip! :o

    Good for you loopy! I'll take your word for the mad lover bit!!! :p Molly will soon be along to give you your own personal number. Why not begin the saving today though? You've nothing to lose and SO much to gain as it's very, very addictive and every penny counts, said the old lady as she ****d in the sea!!! :rotfl:

    Would all the newbies mind if I didn't give them a number and they just joined us unofficially at the moment with the view to joining for real in 2009.I've not been around enough to read over the last few weeks.Got a few things going on.I know mumzy tried to have a cut off date earlier on but martin asked her to keep things open but with just 9 weeks to go(Thanks whoever pointed that out lol), I think it would be best to stick with the names on the list a the moment as most of us have been there since the beginning of the year.Does this seem fair? I don't want to stop anyone from saving I just think this is best.
    I'm also not sure whether I will be able to run this challenge next year.Thanks everyone who had faith in me and suggested I did.I will of course still have my pots but maybe you should all have a think and see if you have time to run it :)
    lost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013

    Hi Molly, I wondered whether you were ok as you hadn't been on for a few days. I'm glad you're well and have come on to tell us so, but wish you well with any other problems you have.

    I'm quite happy to keep my number, I think that was what most of us were saying a few weeks ago, apart from anything else ...a number is just that - only a number so it shouldn't really matter who has which to my mind. Our names are most important - well mine at least!!! ;) So, to answer your question - yes, it certainly seems fair as far as I'm concerned.

    IF you really don't want to keep up the Challenge next year then, depending on what others think, I'd be happy to take over the reins and start it off. However, if anyone else would also like to do it, then do please put your name forward as it's only fair.

    All the best Molly, but think it over properly and make sure it really is what you want.

    Sue

    Lisa - hope everything goes all right for you this time, I'm sure it will.
