    CazzieLT, that's a superb roadkill :T. Imagine how much you would have squealed if it was 'folding' money! :D. Think i missed out on roadkill yesterday. I was on my mobile and a young chap bent down near me and picked something off the pavement. Was kicking myself that he got it, whatever 'it' was :rotfl:. This roadkilling malarkey is addictive :rotfl:.



    Mmm, it was lush Footiemad :D you would have loved it :drool:. I thought of bringing you a slice but then i remembered the 2 important Potters Paradise Rules.

    Rule no 1. Do not feed cheesecake to Footiemad.
    Rule no 2. Learn rule no 1 :p:D.

    How's the healthy eating been going this week? Must admit my clothes are beginning to feel a little tight when i try them on :o. Could have sworn cheesecake was considered one of the '5-a-day' we're encouraged to eat :rotfl::D.

    5p in the pot today. Instead of keeping a total, i'll weigh the pot in future like some other peeps do. Enjoy what's left of the weekend all :beer:.
    Hi there

    So glad you remembered not to save any for me:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Healthy eating hasn't been too bad, hoping for a loss or stay the same tomorrow at fat club to stem the tide:rotfl::rotfl:

    OOOH if only it was part of our 5 a day I would be there with you.:D

    Me thinks I need to revise those rules too or just not open my mouth to scoff:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a lovely day tomorrow whatever you do and no more cheesecake. That said tomorrow should be treat night so if you find any please save a piece for me:p:p

    Been at work today so my weekend ended yesterday.
    Hope you have had a good day hun;)

    Great news about your dog sparky, the worst thing I always think when pets are ill, is that you can't explain to them that you are helping them :( But I'm so glad she is recovering, you must be really pleased :D

    In other news, 75p for me today in silvers for my getting-a-bit-too heavy-to-lift Terramundi, and just 2p in coppers for my Jelly Baby. He still has a tummy but he is starting to look a bit thin, I must try and get more coppers to fill him back up again!!!

    have a lovely rest of your Sunday everyone

    Lee-anne x

    Ooooh! I've also added another penny to my jelly baby (tell me, how on earth does someone manage to spend exactly £12.99 in Tesco?! Bizarre...) and 2 lovely shiny 50p's to my Terramundi! So a lovely total of £1.78 today, yay! :j

    Night all, I really must go to bed!

    Hello all! I just wanted to de-lurk and say that I'm sorry I don't post very often but I do read the thread when I can - am all inspired to keep my eyes peeled for roadkill now!:D

    I have been putting any loose change (mainly coins that OH doesn't realise that he's dropped - is that wrong?!:p) in my pots when I can so slowly but surely I am getting there!

    Hope the fit/fat club weigh-in goes well :j. My sister invited me to go with her to her weight-loss class, but i don't want to pay the fees :cool:. If you've lost weight, i'll allow you a slice of strawberry with a a tiny dollop of cheesecake mixture and a couple of crumbs of digestive biscuit as a treat, very generous i think you'll agree :D Basically, it's what i've just brushed off my blouse :D :rotfl:. Have a good day :beer:

    Still potting!

    Found 5p roadkill in Mr A's yesterday. It was sitting on top of a bottle of coke. Someone obviously put it there, there is no way it could have fallen on to it. :eek: Complete madness. However, my pot is another 5p up thanks to that. It is nearly half full now and getting heavier :T

    hellooooooo

    well i THINK i've potted 83p today but i cant actually remember what i counted when i popped it all in, so ill say its 83po and hope for the best :D

    Horrible day today, blinking car dashboard has decided to conk out so I have no idea how much petrol I have, how fast im going or even what the time is!! Rang the renault people to goo through all the automated selections to get 'if you are ringing because your pre 2009 renault dash has stopped displaying, this is a common fault, please ring your local dealer who will replace it for the reduced price of £100' so I have to pay £100 to fix their shoddy workmanship ^^ grrrr.

    Anyway im off to bed to brood over my £100 night all :)
