    Can't believe that the Grand Opening will be later this week - not next week or any other week but this week :j:j:j

    I'm so excited and I just can't hide it - I can't get this damned song out of my head - you know the one - Pointer Sisters I think. It's really doing my head in now. :eek:

    Must remember to stock up on money bags - bet there will be a nationail shortage of them once us lot get our supplies ready. :rotfl:

    You have me singing it now. Can't believe it's all systems go on Thursday. Wednesday will be a bit like Christmas Eve feels when you're a kid. :j

    Good point about the money bags - oooooh can't wait. :j

    You haven't missed Footiemad, she hasn't been on for ages, just you wait when I see her!!! :mad:

    You'd better hurry up with them there bags, b_e_g....me too!!! :eek: :o
    To Absinthe Fairy and all others who haven't got their bags yet or don't know where to get them; the banks have them and give them out FREE :shocked: tis true! There's nowt else they'll give you free, well there is but I'd best not say it on here! :rotfl:

    Afternoon sparky, now settle down and give yourself chance to breathe, you sound exhausted.

    I hate that song peaceandfreedom, so if I have it on my mind all day I'll be blaming you and b_e_g!! :angry::tongue:

    Whew... it's been a while :o I have been busy with my pregnancy and now a 6 week old newborn!!! But I have still been saving and during my pregnancy we potted £24!! Which has now been banked. My new total is £1.90. Starting to regain a routine so will hopefully be posting more often. I have also got DH into the habit now, and I think he ended up potting more than I did!

    Lots of lovely totals there... and hope you're all having a lovely day! x
