    Evening everyone

    OH left a £2 coin behind over the weekend - he's not getting that back! I found a penny outside the room used for my yoga class. It's all going in the pot!

    My pot is so heavy - I have still got about a quarter of a tin left before I can move on to my new tin.

    Have a great evening everyone

    Well done rosepink!
    Did anyone see the article on Susan Boyle the woman who sang on Britain's got Talent they described her as "living all her life as the slightly batty spinster who adopted eccentric habits such as keeping money in an empty whisky bottle ""WHAT WOULD THEY MAKE OF US:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    ECCENTRIC???? My aunt fanny! ...In fact she may even be one of us!!!! :eek: Come on Susan, you can own up now, you're among friends!:D Isn't it odd that they're so quick to judge people on what they may be like. A beautiful voice and winning smile, what more do they want from her.

    Hey bigbum, you sure if was YOUR name, no mine??:cool: Excellent news, keep it up!.....You too with the 'finds' eh urg?! Well done!

    Great news about your first day Skippy!

    £2.35 in the pot having been left over after shopping, but DH, bless him, gave me 2 x £2 coins to go with it, it's mounting up though I've no idea how much. Me, I'm ever so good!:A

    Have a good day all, it looks like another good'n.

    Sue. New friends wishing to join us, please just ask and I'll be with you ASAP.

  • Banked another £26 today - yay!

    Also got another £2 coin in my change and a few bits of silver for the pot.
  • Hi everyone,
    My daughter "getting better" was very bad and was put on the naughty seat. As her mother I would like to apologise for any upset she caused. I really did the best I could with the material provided but genes will out! In my defence I have been rather too busy hospital visiting over the past three weeks to keep a watchful eye on her.
    Now a big THANK YOU for letting her off the naughty seat as she came round to my new house at the weekend and worked her b**tt off.
    Finally a confession my sealed pot will be starving over the next few months as I've just ordered DH a rather nice greenhouse.
    Take care all of you and thank you for making me laugh so often.

    PS I wish i could do smileys but they are way beyond me.
