    Helloooo to the Newbies from me (a bit late I know).

    Today, left in my pocket was £2.01, so in the pot it goes.

    Am off to see a friend tomorrow and we're hitting the south coast - so I'm quite excited about that.

    Hopefully I'll come back with some pennies left and be able to pot some more.

    Have a good weekend potters.

    Decided today I'll pot anything less than a pound coin now I've got an Oyster card so don't need change for the bus. So bunged about a fiver in my lovely heavy jingling pot :T

    You are never going to believe this.....

    Walking in Bournemouth on my lunch break outside a shop and I see a shiney 5p. It was beautiful. :AThe sunlight flickered on its wonder....I got excited....I went to reach for it and it wouldn't let me pick it up and hold its beautiful perfectly round self.....so I tugged a little harder.....

    And there laughing in the corner are a collection of teenagers laughing.....:mad:

    I feel I was set up.....someone knew I was going to be a sucker for my first roadkill....:eek:

    Now I have returned back to work, shy and sheepish.... :(

    I think I will be too frightend to do it again - no roadkill for Samtoby :o

    I say, go back tomorrow with a chisel (sp?) and show them its your 5p and you'll be taking it home!!! ha ha.

    Says me who was too much of a wimp to pick up 6p!!!

    oooo I did find a penny in the train station though whilst waiting for my sister. may have to hang around there more often :D

    7 months board £20 :eek:...thats reasonable...room for a little one and an even littler one! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    And a bit bigger one. I'll give you £60 for the year though..... :rotfl:

    Thanks both..... for that price he gets a centrally heated room, 3 home cooked meals a day brought to him with a glass of wine for tea, all washing and ironing, occasional trips to the shops, internet connection and broadband, and a resident nurse to advise him on bowels and other general needs for a 60 year old with multiple sclerosis... i suspect I need a new tattoo on my forehead "MUG"

    Did somebody mention that the reward was in heaven???

    should I post on tripadvisor???

    good job DH is so lovely or I would have walked!!
