    Lol, well basically yes, any excure to grab Mrs S. :rotfl: Feeling much better again today, and am looking forward to tonights Dog Whisperer. He's fantastic isn't he? The way he deals with difficult dogs. I hate pit bulls, but that big one he has "Daddy" is really nice. I'm floored! Hope the PC is sorted soon Sparky!
    Mrs S put some change in my Savings Piggy yesterday, so the pot is getting bigger and heavier.

    Keep saving everyone, nearly there!

    Evening all:beer:

    A fair few coins in the pottie this week.:T As I've done a few mystery shops. Still close to filling the pot, but that last inch is taking ages to fill.....

    Am still tempted every day to see how much money is in my pots, but am managing to resist.

    I also need to start collecting money bags for the big count up!;)
    :grin: Save me from spending...

    Hi trex, welcome to this brilliant thread. It's not too late to do your best for the remainder of this year, just grab a pot and see how much loose change you can get in there before Dec 1st!!!

    I thought I'd answer your post as mumzy's not able to be here so much at present. However, with regards to next year - we'll restart another "Sealed Pot Challenge" the day after this one ends. We open our pots, piggies, pooh bears or whatever on the Monday 1st December, then I'll be starting another the very next day on a fresh thread. So keep a look out for it, this one's been far too great to not keep it up.:T

    So just come on the new thread and ask to be added on and I'll do so with pleasure! :D

    Hi all, good to see you Molly and I'm pleased you had a good time at the fayre, you too Skippycat, it's great to see you both bought cash back! :j Good to see you still resisting LC!!!! Well done as it'll soon be here now. Thanks for the reminder about the bags too, I'd clean forgot about them. I know we've a little while to go, but I want to be prepared for that great event!!! :A

    £1.27 added today. Kept my fingers crossed for another tenner on the lottery, but..... you guessed! :rolleyes:
