    Hello everyone
    Sparky reporting in for a quick update, sorry I've been AWOL but I'm still working a lot of overtime and still potting my daily £2 into the sealed pot plus any change. The Poland spending fund is being well fed with £2 coins and 50p's. Off home soon to have a little drink with my DW as it's my Birthday today but I can't drink too much because I'm working 2 X 12 hour overtime shifts this weekend.

    Sue hope you're on the mend and everything will be OK with you soon

    Skilly sorry to hear about your little 'un, hope everything is OK with the poor mite

    Footiemad thanks for welcoming all the newbies in my absence, you'll definitely be getting a deputy badge off sue

    Going to have to run now everyone, I'll try to catch up with you all over the weekend, so stay safe, keep saving and enjoy your weekend

    Long time no see everyone, the same can't be said for my pot thoughh, it still sees a steady steam of coins :) Today I found an envelope with about 30p's worth of coppers in it, which my colleagues said used to hold their money for cups of coffee. They weren't too bothered about keeping it and to be honest I think they thought I'd gone mad when I asked if I could use it to buy a passport but my pot would be a lot emptier if I had any shame about the contents!
    Thank you competition posters!

    Brilliant news Willow92!! Thinks are picking up a little for you, still plenty of time left too!

    Hi there sparky and A Happy Very, though belated, Birthday to you!!!! :bdaycake:


    Many thanks for your good wishes Sparky, yours too Footiemad I'm slowly getting there thank you. Next Friday I have the scan, but am unable to see the Muscoloskeletal Dr until the 21st. Depending on what the scan and x-ray show he's told me that I made well need to go to Orthopaedics and have the shoulder manipulated under anaesthetic. We'll see. Good news about the hand being much a lot less swollen though and little by little it's starting to move a bit easier. :j

    Thanks a lot for welcoming folk on so well Footiemad, I'll give you a badge just as soon as I know what I'm looking for! :idea: How about this for now :staradmin ;)

    Just went to the shop for a work collegue who wanted me to get them a drink, and said I could keep the change. A whole 2p to add to the pot.
