    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

    Just can't help myself Sparky, though he did comment on thinking he had less than he thought he had one morning. I said "oh dear you must have spent it I suppose." "Mmmm, suppose you're right." :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    Very often he'll leave me cash specifically to put in - and I do feel guilty then .....but not for long!!! :D Trouble is, my cover'll be blown come Christmas .....never thought of that til just a minute ago. :o A couple of months to think up a plausible reason ...any help gratefully received!!!! Oooo 'eck I had had a great day til then :confused:

    Keep safe Sparky.

    Sounds like the huuuuuuuuge piggies may just win the day then mickey mouse. I must admit, it would break my heart to have to smash whatever I'd bought after saving so very hard all year. Not very MSE either! :D

    Debt-free and Proud!
    Morning everyone,
    Cycling to work this morning I ran over something that jingled, so I turned around and sure enough there was 3p in road change just waiting to be picked up, I have no shame so straight into my pocket it went, so I've got 3p more than I went out with this morning, a result I'd say.

    Make sure you're ll well wrapped up this morning, that wind's deceiving. Have a great day everyone

    Suu - I think you are right . I definately will go with the huuuuuuge piggie on my xmas list esp as he won't need to be smashed as he has a stopper. I will start off the challenge with the blue piggie I have as I don't want to upset him . I got a £2 coin from Mr T just now in my change so that has gone into Rasher (my blue piggie)

    Well done Sparky!!! Just goes to show you don't always need to be crawling along with a magnifying glass!!! :rolleyes: I couldn't think of the name of them as I was writing and had to mime it to hubby and say "what d'you call those things?!" :rolleyes: Takes all sorts!

    Well done mickey mouse! Lets hope that after some serious saving you can rename him gammon by the time Christmas comes!!! :D Well done with that £2, keep saving and you'll be surprised at what you can get before Christmas!

    OK Molly, we'll look forward to mumzy's return then. Hope all's soon well with you.
