    I must admit I'm looking forward to having time off to re-charge the batteries ready for another onslaught of O/T.

    No problem about you not checking, sparky, it's all part of my day..and I really enjoy it. I also have leave a message for others underneath so am happy to do it myself. ;) Hey, and you wonder why everyone thinks you're a girl when you typed you're going to be working for "DH and I"?! Christmas is getting to you, sparks, or the thought of all that free time is! :D

    Trust us to both notice it, Kerfuffle! :A:A

    You're welcome, Raspberrysauce, I look forward to hearing from you later. If you do get a tin, be sure to use a knife on it next year so you don't need to buy another!!! ;)

    Hiya LAM, well done with keeping to the £18 rather than £20, it really does soon make a difference. Likewise with the £10..you'd forgotten it so it made sense to pot it! :T

    Amazing how much they fail to burn off when they're not at school, Flip. Brilliant about the £3.50 though why doesn't poor Percy ever get fed???! :(

    I'm glad you're starting to feel better jakes-mum, amazing things antibiotics. You'll be happy you've got your locks done now.

    Well done, quintwins and at least you've gained by not spending for a little while.

    9p roadkill in the pot for me. The next door neighbours got a new suite delivered yesterday and when taking the old one off to the dump.....they scattered pennies around out of it!!!!! :D:j This morning she said "where are all the pennies coming from? Then twigged - BUT - still didn't pick them up!!! :eek:Whatever it it with folk?! Talk about laziness well carried out.

    Well, I'm no wizzard, especially since I messed my hand up in a fall in March, so let's say it took a while, but I was very happy doing it...especially for folk like you Oops! :) A nice sum potted BTW.
