    Aw thanks Sparky, lovely of you to say that. I've had tough times myself so hopefully it helps me understand if someone else is having problems. I find these boards so supportive and it really does give me a boost. I'm doing well today and feeling that I WILL get on top of things - slowly but surely!

    Thanks again - you've made my day!:T
    Trying to spend less time on MSE so I can get more done ... it's not going great so far! :)
    Sorry if I don't reply to posts - I'm having MAJOR trouble keeping up these days!

    I'm sure you can do both focus, Sue will be around later to issue you a number (and then you will never escape mwahahaha etc etc).
    Need to empty my assorted handbags this evening as I found a load of change in the bottom of my bag and my purse is getting quite full so should be a fair bit to go in.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

  • :j Thankyou everyone for making me feel so welcome and for my number.

    Already got £3.50 sitting in a cup awaiting the arrival of my sealed pot. I am going to save for a holiday for myself and my daughter.

    Hallo peeps:D:D:D

    How glad am I that it's the weekend - and not work?!?!?!? I stayed in bed until noon:o OH has gone to wembley to watch York lose.LOL:rotfl: So I'm home alone with the kitty-kats.

    We've completed some weeding in the garden and now I'm about to list some things onto ebay. There's a load of washing in, and the house is a pigsty - so lots to do.:eek:

    I've put a fair few pennies in the potties this week, including £5 from earlier in the week when I walked home rather than get a cab.:beer:

    My terramundi is nearly full - so I need to decide whether to empty and bank it when it reaches popping point, or simply squirrel it away. As interest rates are so pooey at the mo maybe I'll do the latter.

    I have been a bit slack with budgeting lately due to thinking I'm now rich because I'm working. so I'm trying to manage that.:o

    Anyway, good to see so many regulars back on the board - and welcome to all you newbies. Sorry the post is so long, but I do miss catching up with you guys. Laters. LCxxx

    Afternoon LC,
    Watch you don't catch piggy flu from your sty :rotfl::rotfl:. How's the job going? We've just got back from walking the hound, and it's started pouring down, and the dog is now standing at the patio door wanting to go outside :rolleyes:, daft pup, that she is. Just about to pop some coins into the sealed pot, plus 1p of road change, into the seperate tin. :D

    Hi Sparky. I'm really enjoying the job, but I do feel quite tired when I get home, so I've been a bit rubbish at doing both the housework and my usual additional DFW things such as picking up mystery shops and ebaying. I'm hoping to get lots listed tonight/tomorrow. But then of course it's a pain getting to the post office as there's not one near my office. Oh well!!! We can't have it all I guess. Luckily the rain's staying away so far :0)
