  • Hello strangers, I haven't been around for many moons (think it was June), not even lurking. But I'm back to reality and potting the princely sum of 20p LC :p

    It's nice to be back :)

    Yes, Sue, it's especially exciting 'cos not only do we count our SP savings but it's my birthday too :D Not that I'm counting the years any more though :eek: :eek:

    Hope you & DH are well, Sue-uu

    Ah, you mightn't be counting, little_sweetie, but counting the pressies is still fun!

    Me? I've been itching madly for the last 4 weeks and no cream has touched it, blood tests tomorrow to hopefully find out what's wrong; meanwhile I'm on anthistamine pills and they're zonking me out terribly! All in a lifetime.

    Well done, Kerry, especially with the day before's potting.
    The GC have been taking turns in choosing the days activities

    yesterday was the eldest turn he had treasure hunts, today is middle ones turn he is having teddy bears party days and park tomorrow is youngest he wants an eating day cos he loves eating :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Friday its mine and granddads choice we are going Gullivxxs Worxd !! and Yes we are taking the GG with us!!

    Thanks Sue

    things are settling down now

    X LC2

    Ahh, bless em, LC 2. We have to treasure em while we can.

    Talking DGC, our eldest GS passed all his GCSEs and got all the grades he wanted to get into mechanics college!!!!! :T We're so proud of him, especially as he hated school.

    Hi sparky! Bad luck about the dark day shifts, ok if you can sleep but not if it's a problem. Reminds me of Corrie with Paul & th earplugs, all I can hear with those is my breathing which I hate. All the best.

    Hiya Oops, lovely to see you.
    It looks like next month will be tight because I will have to pay for DD's deposit and her first month's rent. I probably have more chance of growing feathers than getting those funds back :)!

    So, your DD got it then, Susanne, don't know whether to applaud her or cry with you! Glad she got her wish - sorry you've got to pay for it! :rotfl:C'est la vie!

    Hi jenny and good to see you reappearing. Hope you get better joy in saving than just 20p, but better than nowt!
    Keep saving folks, lots and lots or you'll never get to fill those pots!

    Hi Sparky, I know the feeling. My DH works 4 days, 2 off and then 4 nights. Whilst DD and I look forward to having some breathing space when he works nights, all hell breaks loose normally after the second night shift. Even the toilet flushing bothers him.:mad: When are you going to Budapest?

    Anyway, much to my surprise I had £0.60 to pot yesterday. Left-over change from money I gave to my DD.

    Hope all are well,

    Evening SusanneCape
    Haven't done nights for 14 years and thought they were long behind me, but business here is booming so I shouldn't knock it. We fly to Budapest on November 5th, hoping it's cold and hopefully some snow :D

    Good evening Sue
    we don't watch any soaps in the sparky household! I know what you mean about the ear plugs though. The sound of breathing & I also get the blood pumping around my body.
