Good morning Sparky,
I'm fine, thanks. What are you up to? I've been on this site most of the morning looking for Fixed Rate Savings info for a friend of mine. I told him he could leave his money in my bank account and I'd look after it for him but he wasn't buying that!

Morning oopalah,
Don't you just hate it when that happens! lol, but seriously what a good friend you are looking around for good savings rates. Keep up the good work

Good that you're joining in loopy, but surely you already started the minute you first picked up that 20p closely followed by the 4p, THAT is saving and such great news! Make sure you keep it out of the way, ready for you metal chastity piggy!!!! :rotfl:I bet that'll look really impressive when it's done though, you may even make money from them if others like them - here's hoping.:D

Doesn't it make you mad when Dentists can cause you all that pain ......and have the nerve (scuse the pun :rolleyes:) to charge you for doing so!!! Swines!


Hi oopalah. Just 3p today, but better than nowt and all adds to the weight. Sounds a bit like us all with cakes etc! :eek:

Hiya guys,
hope your all well, my pot is getting heavyish:rotfl: :rotfl:

Went to a cheapie shop the other day and picked up 2 cheap money boxes, 1 shaped like an Icecream and the other like Big Ben,:rotfl: and only .49p each, bargain eh

I'm not finding anything in the street:mad: I think everyone here is picking it up before I get there:mad: even a penny would be good, like my mum says, look after the pennies and the pounds will look after themselves.

((((((((((Hugs)))))))))))) to anyone that needs them xx

Keep up the good work guys, see ya

HWGA xx

Morning everyone,
What a wicked day it is today, bl**dy cold riding the bike this morning, and I left my lights in work, so I had to ride on the pavements, so I didn't get squished.

I have a seperate jar for "Road Change", which now has about £35 and change in it, so glad the kids are back in school, because I've been finding change in the street.

Wrap up well everyone & keep looking for those pennies. Have a great day and take care

Here they're too bally tight-fisted to drop anything nowadys HWGA, either that or they're keeping it all on elastic!!! :mad:

Wrap up yourself Sparky in the nicest possible way of course! I'll bet it is darn cold on a bike these mornings, one thing for sure - you're probably safer on the pavements!

Makes little difference with the kiddies being back at school here ....unless the little blighters are picking them up in the way to school!!!! Darned cheek of 'em.

£1.10p today ...which accidentally fell from hubby's pocket!

Thanks Sue,
Your DH must think he's got holes in his pockets, the way he keeps "losing" change lol, you naughty girl you :rolleyes:

Have a good day hun

everyone is doing very well:D

I was in a garden centre yesterday and was looking at the terrundi thingies- they are smaller than I thought they were so not sure whether to ask for one for xmas or not. They did have huuuuuuuuge piggies in there for£15 so may ask for one of those instead and also you don't have to smash them. In the meantime I will continue to save my change in my blue piggy as practice for when the new challenge starts:D
