    potted £2.56 which includes a shiney £2 coin! Hospital was ok. They're doing their best but i'm a very rare case and as such i'm now a guinea pig. Still, if it can help a patient that comes along after me. Just means increased drug amounts, more blood tests and alot more concern. I'm now wrapped up on the sofa in my PJ's and slippers.

    Popped another £2 coin in the owls head and all my left over silver in the cats head and then I saw on some signatures there is a save a £ a day callenge and thought I would stick that in the cats head too. I so want this new fridge/freezer and nothing is gonna stop me!

    I agree with others, the sound of money dropping on money is a lovely sound but when I empty my owls head in December (I have been saving £2 coins for some time now) I really am not keen on the smell. still monies money!

    Good idea on the ISA savings.

    chat soon.
