    Havent had time to read thread for ages but will try to catch up at the weekend.
    I have picked up that Sue is not to well at the moment so sending her hugs and good wishes, hope you are back soon.

    Have dropped a nice handful of change in the pot last night and not all of it was shrapnel either - so even better.

    :hello:

    Got different coat out of wardrobe this morning and all of a sudden there was a little 'clink clink' sound to be heard. Palpitations started - gingerly put hand into pocket and there nestling in the corner were 2 shiny £1 coins. How long have they been there - don't know. Were they there for a reason - don't know and don't care. :D Quickly potted them before I remember what I was supposed to be doing with them. :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
