    Evening all:D

    A large golden coin into my terramundi today:beer:

    And guess what?!?!?!?! Sealed pottie is full!:j

    So - I'm counting it this evening and banking it.:T

    VERY excited - I am a sealed pottie nerd:o:o:o

    My total will still be secret until 1 Dec though as my terramundi still had a little way to go before it's full.

    Will post my pottie total later - once it's all totted up.;)

    Hope you've all had a good weekend. It's been raining here.:mad: But luckily there was a break in the cloud last night, and we went to the river to watch the fireworks - gorgeous they were too!!!:D

    Twas £97 in my pottie. Was a little disappointed as there seemed to be so much, but that's £2 a week - so is pretty good really. I was obviously feeling greedy. :o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o:o

    Hi Little Chicken,
    Thats a fantastic total, and you shouldn't be disappointed with that. Well Done :j :j :j :j :j :j :j

    Morning Everyone,
    Got caught in that rain yesterday while out walking the dog, 2 hours of torrential rain, 3p on the ground, and just as we got home the rain went off :mad:
    My laptop is still playing up,it will let me press the thanks button, but still wont let me write any posts :confused: , so I have to rely on the works computer to keep in touch with you guys. :D

    Just sold 4 mobiles that were lying around the house and made £62.70, :T not bad for something that doesn't get used any more

    Have a good day everyone, catch you later :D

  • Morning sue UU - that's right, I do have a terramundi, that's almost full of golden coins. But no way am I smashing it. It cost me £17. LOL

    I will be lying upside down for a few hours poking a knife in the slot 'till all the pennies fall out.

    I've already emptied it once this year - it took ages, but was well worth it.

    I put all of the pennies that weren't enough to make up a baggie, into my piggy ready for next year's challenge, and there's already quite a bit.

    Well I'd better get dressed and off to work. It's rainy and grey here today - not a very nice start to a Monday!!!
    :grin: Save me from spending...

  • Evening all, hope everyone is ok, and getting excited by the countdown... Sgt Save is looking pretty bedraggled at the minute. He's got some duct tape holding him together....

    Sparky, hope you're ok in the South of our fair city with all this crap rain. Keep warm and dry mate. Have you tried I.T on Smithdown Road for some laptop advice? They're pretty good, cheap, quick and reliable. I recommend them. Oh, and you've got a PM....

    Hiya sparky, good to see you. How about checking out the IT shop stunty says about - ask them if they'll take pennies as payments - but could you first take a look around their floors!!! :D Thanks for the nudge about the mobiles, we have 3 to get rid of, far better fetting some cash then leaving them on a shelf.

    Good to hear from you again HWGA, I was wondering if you were still poorly as you hadn't been on the running board either. Good to hear all's well and that PC is ok now, maybe you could share it with sparky!!! ;)

    Hi again Little Chicken, thank Heavens for that, I was quite concerned about it last night, poor terramuni. :cry: Happy one now though. :D Just Sue will do nicely thanks LC, I hate it when folk use the whole thing, I only stuck it on when I registered as I couldn't think of anything else.:confused: I love the vision of you getting that money out, a far better idea then smashing it any day and far more MSE!!!

    Only 21 days pandora and mummytummy?!!! Heck how time flies by. Keep up the count down girls, I'm useless at it.

    mickey mouse - that's awful :eek: you're getting as bad as me!!! :D

    Hi saveumcowboy and welcome to the mad house! You're most welcome to join in, though I can't give you a number until the new one starts on Dec 2nd, but I'll be glad to then. Meanwhile join in the fun anyway and it'll be good for you to see how much more you can get between now and then.

    Hi stunty! Great to see you. Poor old Sgt Save sounds just like me on a bad day, though much like sparky when he got soaked too!!!:rotfl:Not that I'd laugh at that :cry: :silenced:

    £3.50 for me after shopping today! Won't be long now all!

    Sue
