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

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.luckycharlie wrote: »The GC have been taking turns in choosing the days activities

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.SusanneCape wrote: »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!

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 snowSparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002.

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.Sparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002.
