  • A happy sunny afternoon potters! :)

    I've had a very productive day. I had my first small injection of funds this morning so I managed to get half a tank of petrol (why is everyone panicking? No strike is guaranteed yet :cool:...) so I'm no longer driving on fumes, collected my FREE sausage roll from Mr M with newspaper coupon (OH very happy with that :)) and banked the £5 in 5p's that FiL gave me (added to sig) I found 5p shop kill but a dear senior gentleman was collecting for Leukemia Research so I gave it to him along with the 8p change I was going to pot :A I was gasping for a cuppa but I decided to go home and pot the £1 it would have cost me :money: I'm also on top of the mound of washing and ironing I have to do (not literally of course :rotfl::rotfl:) and the sun is still shining!

    Have a SUPER afternoon and evening everyone. I do hope you are ok sue-uu ?? <<HUGS>>

    Went past the local garage on the bus today - massive queue - plus man holding up a placard. It read 'severe shortage of... Common sense' :rotfl:

    evening all

    soz not been around for a couple of days, had a lot of homework for college to finish off. Only one more month after the easter break :D:D then all finished...phew!

    been potting away as usual with my £1 per day, finally had a haul of £2s for the owls head, about 8 in all, so that felt good after the dry spell. Cant tell you the exact amount of change which has been going into the cats head.... it just went in but I will soon have to count it as I have to shake it to make sure it goes down.:D

    Right well, suns still out in sunny Suffolk so time to do some more weeding round my onions.....

    have a great weekend all and I will have a tonic with my gin please? ta muchly....

    £4.33 went in today. We're extremely skint at the moment and the temptation to open the damned tin is very, very high. Must... resist...
    I say we take off and nuke the entire site from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

    You girls certainly know how to live it up don't you :rotfl::rotfl:

    Just made my second month of my mortgage overpayments :j and it feels good :D

    I notice Sue's not been around for a couple of days, hope she's alright, I'll have to email her and check up

    The temperature has dropped a bit here

    Ended up with 15p tea room floor change last night :D

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving ;)

    Well done on the mortgage overpayment :T (I'm soooooo jealous - but really pleased you're able to do this.)

    I was thinking the same about Sue yesterday, hope she's okay.

    Morning everyone
    It's the last day of my road change pot today, so when I get home from work, I'll count the contents and let you all know the total for the year.

    I've emailed Sue just waiting for a reply from her.

    A lonely 1p on the tea room floor this morning, so I had to rescue the poor thing

    Have a great day everyone, stay safe & keep saving
