    Morning All :hello:

    A little flurry of coins for me at the weekend. I bagged 4 of the lovelys.

    One from the lovely people at Costa Saturday morning, then I got one in the cinema as I took DS to see Star Wars in 3D as a treat for doing well at school.

    Then yesterday I got two in change at toddler group with DD.

    Unfortunately I had to part with one :doh:as I bought DS a Beavers pencil & pad and couldn't justify spending £2.25 on the debit card :o

    So anyway, it's another £6 for me taking my total up to £42 and meaning I can rush myself off over to me "other challenge" (extra payment a week) and pay £20 off on the nasty credit card/ :dance:

    Happy Hunting fellow potters.
