    Evening 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
    Congrats Janey that's good news :T
    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! :love: 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. :D

    A whole £15 for the pot and DH & I are so chuffed. :grinheart

    I sincerely echo your thoughts and wishes about little April, mommyof4, I'm sure we all hope and pray she'll soon be found.
    Sleep well, everyone and stay safe and healthy.
