    Hi,

    I'm having a tough month so opened my sealed tin;). It had £150 in it that paid my son the money I'd promised him for his excellent GCSE results ~ 9 A*'s and 2A's!! :T

    So although I had hoped to save money for xmas pressies, the money came in handy and was for a very good cause!!

    Looks like I need to get another tin for xmas!;)

    bye. MM

    Still plodding along collecting odd bits of small change here and there, not started work yet and I think cabin fever is starting to set it somewhat, I need to be working to get my day organised, aimlessness does not suit me. Still the odd mystery shop here and there is at least getting me out of my room for a little while and helps me find the all important road kill.
    It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
