    Evening all!

    I made it into work today and felt like I was chasing my tail all day trying to catch up! Had to bring work home and I haven't even touched my list for the week.

    Another NSD for me but tomorrow I can clear the change out of my purse! :D

    thanks for the support everyone. I'll be ok, its just abit frustrating! I was thinking of putting a target on my pot. I decided i want to use my sealed pot money to pay for a camping/horse riding holiday. There's a dressage stables in woucester that teaches classical riding. Its £45 per lesson but its fabulous! I reckon i'll need £420 to cover the lessons, the camp site and the cattery bill!

    That sounds amazing!! I haven't ridden since August when this all started and being fit enough to ride again is my goal. I'm not seriously ill but in a lot of pain which has a huge impact on my life, I can't imagine what it would be like to jump around, horse ride or even ride my bike right now.

    I've decided to be rebellious and get a tatoo after my last op :o I'm getting it on the side that hurts and it's a quote that means so much to me, I've just always been too scared to get it. Not much of a 'treat' but I'm looking forward to it :D

    I'm writing this post for the second time cos www keeps crashing when I'm halfway through - so forgive me if I post a bit and keep updating it.

    First road kill for me today :j

    I was just thinking I'd have to break a note to get 20p for the bus when I glanced down and there was 20p shining on the pavement in front of me! That was lucky! And on the bus was 1p minding its own business in the aisle so I brought that home to join it's friends in my pot, along with a pound to keep them company :j

    I'm one happy potter today. If I could sort out the www crashing I'd be even happier :)

    Hope all of you that have the lurgy etc are on the mend soon

    Night night

    Here I am again potters, back from Tea time shift( Community Carer) I did some shopping for a client today and he said "Oh I will pay you back with 2 of your favourite coins" so he pulls out 2 shiny £2 coins...... I didn't know whether to feel happy that I was adding to my £2 coin saving tin or whether to feel ever so slightly robbed Hahahaha!! Oh well I did make a promise to me and the kids that EVERYTIME I get a £2 coin I will put it in the tin, so hey ho its in the tin it goes! £4 lighter but also £4 richer I suppose!

    That first roadkill is brilliant isn't it! Oops I'm supposed to be finishing a crossword so I can send it in and here I am posting again. It's an addiction :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
