  • Wow Sparky - and I thought I deserved a lie in this weekend.

    A few pennies in my pots, but as I'm cash poor not as many as usual :( Will make up for it next month.:o

    Have joined the no buying lunches for work and no buying new books challenges, and so far so good. Although it's only been a week.:rotfl:

  • Hi Sue

    Thanks for the encouragement. I've also just been and donated lots of goodies to the charity shop this morning. I could have probably sold some of them on fleabay - but haven't got the motivation at the moment.:o Perhaps karma will send some roadkill my way to make up for it.:A

    Well I hadn't planned on spending today but had to take up Homebase's offer of half price Crown paint, I needed it anyway so might as well get it now while on offer. Also got some compost to start off my seeds.

    So 94p left over for the tin.
