    Good to hear from you xLoubieLou24x, I only joined the forum at the start of January and it took me a while to post, once I did I found it addictive! It's so encouraging to hear how everyone else is going and when it's difficult everyone is so supportive!

    Only 5p for me today :( need to get some cash out so I have more coins! Lol. Unfortunately only 5p's in my purse today and I'm supposed to put all of those in my loose change pot... what's a girl to do :rotfl:
