    Don't worry about the baby. Technically I should put him down to sleep but he's so blooming gorgeous when he's asleep I can't :o

    hope everyones having a nice day.

    potted the usual £1 and another £3.80 (change from bus fare and unfortunately, had to waste money on a bottle of water yesterday). a lovely NSD for me today. yay.

    two loads of washing flapping about in the breeze, blackbirds nest building in the back and front gardens :D but as they are young mrs b's I dont think much will happen but you never know.

    Opened my cats head pot again (yes I know I shouldn't but I did so there!) and its 4/5th full. I may be able to count it at the end of March... happy days.:D it doesnt take much to keep us potters happy!!

    I went to count how much was in my not so sealed pot yesterday to find it has dropped from £11 to £7!! So I have a little thief in the house. It didn´t take me long to find the thief!

    OH said ´well I needed dinner money for work´ even though he had money in his bank! :mad:

    It was those shiny 50p´s that caught his eye!!

    So my pot is now cellotaped shut with an IOU in there that I´m going to replace today seeing as its payday.

    Men!! Can´t live with them can´t kill em :p

    Crikey yes! He should probably do hard labour for a month to pay for his crime too :rotfl: Glad to hear your pot is safely sellotaped shut now EllaBeagle :)

    He doesn´t know it yet but he´s finally going to tile the bathroom floor this weekend and make a start on painting the back bedroom.

    As soon as he gets home from work today I´ll empty his pockets and get the spare change from his car while he´s in the shower. That should cover my losses. :cool:
