Hi all
Things are looking up...
Found 2p cafe kill on table in Asd@ cafe on Friday while waiting for DD. It's a bit sticky but I can wash it before potting it! Amazing how that cheered me up!
And today we've had a lovely day in Sherwood Forest, the sun was out, the kids & dogs were happy and we had a picnic made by my cousin's DH.
Thanks to all for your good wishes, I think I've just let life and constant colds get to me but you and the sun have cheered me up no end.
Have a lovely day tomorrow whatever you're doing, and enjoy the sun

Hi everybody,
Well today I found 15cents roadkill. It was laying in amongst all the shopping trollies and first I saw a 5cent piece, and then I saw a 10cent piece, I was almost giddy with excitement. I thought my recurring dream of walking along the street finding money was coming true. It stopped at 15 cents but I'm well chuffed with it. :T
Incidentally, 15 cents is worth about 9p <<rolls eyes>> :rotfl:0 -
Morning everyone
What a shock to the system this clocks going forward lark is when you're up early anyway!
18p tea room floor change for me yesterday, plus my usual potting, so a good day. Just walked into the tea room in work & there's a 5p & a 1p waiting to be picked up off the floor.
Looks like it's going to be a really nice day today, so enjoy it
stay safe everyone, have fun and take careSparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002. Total for SPC3 £1,030.57 Total For SPC 4 £2247.00 Total for SPC 5 £2574.62 :T Total for SPC 6 £4552.91:T

A very good morning everyone!VERY good, missladyannie! I see you're being a very attentive Wife too and making sure your DH's pockets don't get holes in!

What a lovely sum for you to have saved, Kerry! 10p roadkill too! You have a lovely weekend too.
Lovely to hear you're able to keep your savings intact, ETO! Great to hear we're making a saver of you!
It sounded like you had a really good day, Delilahh, and that's what life's about!
Wonderful news about your GREAT day out, Rosy! With all you wrote I really could experience your enjoyment and am thrilled for you as you did sound low last week. It's amazing what a difference a day in the sun can have...a 2p pick-up too!!! :j
Good to see you, LC 2! I know you've been busy, but really - there's only so much time you can take off from pot-filling!
Excellent news, Kerfuffle!!! Keep looking out though as it may be a dream of more than one occasion!! Well...you never know.
Morning sparky, cor don't you miss that hour, still it'll be worth it to have the longer evenings! :grinheart
Well done with the savings of everyone, every little bit makes a huge difference at the end of the year so keep it up. :j

Hi all
Been a few weeks since I last visited. About £15.00 potted since I last popped in and another credit card paid off. That's 2 down and 2 more to go :T
Hope you're all well & I'll try to visit more often now things have calmed down at work.SteffieLou
