Hello everyone,
Welcome back Sue, how great to have you back, you were very much missed. I hope the therapy is going well and your arm is fighting fit soon!
Apologies for my absence on the thread so soon after joining - just a couple of days after I signed up to the SPC, I lost my beautiful Granddad very unexpectedly. However, I have continued silently potting away, and the pot is already getting nice and heavy. (I have also opened up my new ISA for this financial year, and am determined to max out the cash allowance this year - so lots of saving in lots of places!)
Thank you Sue for my number and to everyone again for the warm welcome. I hope to make more frequent appearances on the thread from now on and join in all the potting fun!
Have a happy week potting away!

Evening everyone.
I had a very busy day yesterday, netball and then out for a meal last night, it was a late one :eek: but had a lovely time with two darling friends who I hadn't seen for a while.
Fed Rosie £1.32 for today and yesterday and put £2 in the holiday pot.
Hi Sue I will keep on doing the dance, to try and lose some pounds need to work very hard though
Fat club tomorrow, not sure what the scales will say but I know I will have some pennies to pot
Hope you have all had a good weekend.

Hi Cazzie. I'm so sorry to hear about your Granddad. I lost my beautiful Grandad a year and a half ago so I know how you are feeling. Now I try to just remember the fantastic memories I have of him and how wonderful a Grandad he was. It will get easier. You are in my thoughts
