    Hi all, just potting a £2 coin, two beautiful brand new 2012 5p's and 6p in coppers, three of which are roadkill. Haven't christened my new tin yet, there's still a bit of room in my 1st one.

    Evening all! How exciting - a new thread! Thanks Sue and I'm glad you're feeling better :)

    I seem to be spending quite a lot at the moment but it's all necessary. Today had the dentist and doctor. I should have got in before the dental and prescription charges went up but oh well!

    I potted a bit on Sunday and now got another 11p waiting for the pot when I next go home!

    Hope everyone is able to pot a lot this week!

    An excellent idea, leictina and perfectly ok with me.

    Don't worry, Janey, I think it's the same with all of us, we all have times of paying out, all part of life. :)

    Oh dear Saramond, lets hope it just missed them, we'll soon know though as she'll be back very shortly. It would have been a shame, but no doubt they won't let it spoil their time together. :love:
    Hallo all, Long time no postings, but just to let you all know I'm still feeding my potties.

    At home today - hence passing by. Am investigating ISAs for next week. Mine has swelled somewhat thanks to this fabulous challenge.

    Hope you all have a fabulous Easter weekend. I'm off to Seville where rain is forecast. Yippee. LCxxx

    Hiya LC!!!!!! :hello: It's sooooo good to see popping in again!!! Pleased to hear about your ISAs and saving, well done!! :T Have a wonderful time in Seville!! Don't forget we're we are!

    Thanks to you all girls and sparky for your lovely comments. There may even be the need for another new thread with the way things are going. Time'll tell.

    Hubby found a 5p piece outside, both of us were chuffed to bits!!!

    Keep safe and healthy everyone.

    Feeling a bit left out as don't seem to be able to pot as much as i was at the beginning of the year. Although i am still keeping up with the thread. Don't like missing out on anything, plus if i leave it too long there are too many posts to catch up on. :D

    I am going to pot the odd 94p that i have as part of my weekly spending money. :j:j

    Sorry you haven't been well Sue, and thank you for the new thread.

    Still no roadkill for me in, what is it, 4 months... oh well, am out today so will keep my eyes peeled. I obviously live in a [STRIKE]tight [/STRIKE] MSE neighbourhood. :D

    Have a good day all.
