    He was very shouty Surfbabe. Fantastic fun. Nothing like a bit of crap TV to make you feel better!

    wish you better Stunty - it is amazing what man flu does to you guys esp watching Jeremy K:rotfl:


    I found money in the street today - it would have been rude not to pick it up. so my pot will gain by a whole, massive penny:D

    Evenin' all,
    Been to the Trafford Centre today, bought my first Christmas present!!
    Loads of change thrown into the pot. It's getting reeeeeeeeeeeeeeelly heavy now. Can't wait to open it - how many weeks is it now? We can't be far off Opening Night - I'm going to get the wine in and dust off those dancing shoes:D
    I've just looked and it's 7 weeks!!!

    Keep saving!

    Had some chicken soup and a cuddle off Mrs S. Feel better now, and I've even got the dog whisperer on. Nice!

    Hi all. Hope you're feeling better this morning Stunty, though are you sure you weren't just having some tears :cry: at one of those far-fetched stories they have. Never watch it, as you can tell!! Though to be honest, I certainly don't these days. Can only guess that it'd have to be man flu you're suffering from. Take care Stunty and I bet that cuddle will have helped enormously. Good for Mrs S!!! :kisses3:

    Last but not least! Sue You're already doing a great job taking over from mumzy & molly (hope they're both OK), but you are going to have to come clean to your hubby about the lack of holes in his clothes lol, at this rate you'll be millionaires, off the back of "loose" change from hubby :D

    You're so right sparky and though I'm looking forward to opening it up I'm also forever going through plausible excuses for having SO much more than I should have in there!!!! Still, what can he possibly say when I've been doing it all .....for HIS own good!!!! :p :rotfl:Nothing today - cause I haven't looked in them. Guilt you say? What guilt?!!! :eek: :rolleyes:

    Go careful in the morning sparky and take your waterproofs again! :(

    Good for you on picking it up mickey mouse, you're now an initiated member for certain!!! :T

    7 weeks less 2 days by the time you read this oopalah, not that I'm counting mind you! :p Bought our first present yesterday, so at least we've made a start on it, we've got Birthdays to come before then though, so will definately need my pot savings when it's time. I'd dearly love to keep it sealed and see how things go, but can't quite see me getting to the 1st and not opening mine somehow, not when all of you will be! :o Ah, we'll see.

    Keep saving those pence and pounds all!!

    Sue

    Just filled my third coke tin, only small change but they are really heavy. Will start a new tin but I don't expect it to be too full by 1.12.2008. I am really looking forward to opening my tins.

    Keep going everyone.

    I have to admit that although i started this challenge i kept dipping into mine because i left my partner and had no money etc and then no money for bills ot food. I do have a money tin now though but only started it recently and dont put much in it tbh.
    Keep up the good work. Hopefully i can join again in 2009

    Hi Mumzy, bad luck about your partner (or maybe it isn't!) and having to cut into your pot, but at least you'd saved it and had something to fall back on at a time you needed it so much! It was great to read that you might be joining in again in 2009, I really do hope so, do your best, to chat to us all too mind as it's always great to hear from you, Molly too! :)

    Take care. Sue

    Well done ellie, you are doing so well! :D
