Congrats Janey that's good news :TEvening everyone,
Sorry I've been MIA for a few weeks, I've been very busy ... buying a house!!! Finding it took up a lot of time too! Just waiting for formal mortgage offer then the searches - its hard to type with all your fingers crossed! But it just goes to show that mse really works
Still been potting away and really looking forward to count up day. I'll probably put the money back in my savings when they return to zero which is a scary thought!
Off now to read the last 11 pages! Keep potting everyone
Janey
little_sweetie when I bought my first house I was the same, everything in it was hand-me-downs (except the kitten my Mum gave me :rotfl:) but it was soo good to have my own place
Now thanks to an inheritance I'm about to pay off my mortgage and that feels brilliant!
Oh, and on thread - potted £3.01 last night

Only managed a measly 10p in the pot today. Not found roadkill for ages! Unless you count the euros GLUED to the floor outside a taverna on holiday, yes stupid me tried to pick em up. Much merriment for the taverna customers and a very red face for me lol.
Weather is awful up here in Yorkshire today. Makes me want comfort food, but am trying to resist, need to lose a little weight, well 2 stone would be nice.
Saying prayers for little April Jones's safe return

Many congratulations on your wonderful news, Janey!!! I know you've longed for this and now.....it's all happening!
The very best of everything to you both.
Good to see you dropping in, 166million, a shame about using some of your cash, but....at least it was there when you needed it.
Well done, Susanne, I can quite see why you're so happy.
A whole £15 for the pot and DH & I are so chuffed. :grinheart
