    ok I have a confession to make . . or rather DH has, he decided on the spur of the moment to open the full tin! unfortunately he picked up the half full one and opened that with a tin opener :o

    Well we had a count up after everyone having a guess and there was £99.73 in there :eek: im now wondering how much is in the full one!!

    We were very good though and bought a new tin, we put all the £1 coins into hubbys tin and all the rest into the new tin for countup time in december :)

    Edit: Thank you Kerry woman, sorry just saw your post! i think im going blind in me old age

    Great news from your consultant eh Sue - never know hopefully it won't be long before you are back to normal eh :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(you know what I mean) :D

    Hellloooo Footiemad - not being too well behaved really. Weight loss over last couple of weeks was a 1lb gain :o. Meals not too bad on the whole just the naughty nibbles in between. On a brighter note - I have been trying some new classes at leisure centre to see if I can kick myself into action. Watch this space ........... Good luck with the zumba next week. ;) Hope you're doing well Cazzie :D

    Hope you get a holiday sorted soon JakesMum - make sure you enjoy it when you do get away :cool:

    Everyone seems to be potting well - this is where I hang my head in shame. Never seem to have any leftovers lately :(. Things can only get better - so they say.

    Take care everyone and enjoy the rest of the weekend.

    Good evening all, I hope you're all having a good day and that the weather's not too bad for you.


    hjanea, that's a great start to your savings! I've just been reading about your extortionate parking costs and £11 a day is disgusting and they should be ashamed of themselves at charging soooooo much!!! :mad: Do you get that back when you get your permit? I'd certainly hope you would.

    Sue :A that's fantastic news. So glad you managed to get the appointment to see your consultant, he sounds like a good one who explains everything in detail. I have everything crossed that it will sort your shoulder out. I am so pleased for you. :j:j:j


    Thanks so very much Footie. Not only do they hope the shoulder will be ok, they're also hoping that once the shoulder's okay that the hand will start to get better quicker too. Me too as I need to get better in time to write the Christmas cards!! DH has never done those before and Birthday cards are still becoming a real pain to him!! He does brilliantly in every other way though, bless him. :love:



    Don't worry too much about the NSDs Stapler, you're still saving one where the other. At least you have your Bro's 2p, a lot to be said for that surely. :D

    Sue great news from the consultant Hun, hopefully get you back in good health very soon, bet you're looking forward to not having constant pain (HUGS)) from me and my DW XXX


    Thanks a lot sparky and please thank your DW for me, I very much appreciate all your good wishes. I really am looking forward to being free from the pain, though I'm warned that it will be very painful after the op and will need a lot of physio, but then I'm getting used to that too. BTW, I must weigh my sealed pot and see just how much over 2lb is is! ;)


    Great news about yet another £10 win Mal, congratulations!:j


    Thanks a lot for adding your £6 to your signature, dippy. You're doing well and still have plenty of time yet so you never know, you might just reach your target - fingers crossed for you.:)


    Very well done indeed Eyebright....


    .......you too nataz, a flowerpot's better than no pot, just be sure it's sealed - If it's possible! ;)



    Brilliant saving Kerry!


    Never mind bargainlover, look ahead to a more fruitful time. :)



    Marvellous news jakes-mum! So did it all go back in the pot or will you be taking on holiday with you? Come and then, fess up, did you open the other one?

    Great news from your consultant he Sue - never know hopefully it won't be long before you are back , all to normal he :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:(you what I mean) :D


    Thanks blue_eyed_girl, not quite sure what to make of that as my DH keeps saying the same! I'll need to mull that over.


    Brilliant news mummytogirls.......

    ......and for you robedha!
