    Hi all,

    I wondered where you were janey ! Welcome home!

    Just popped in to report 5p found on the supermarket carpark and 7p left from food money. Both sums potted :) Not a lot left to pot but it will soon be the end of the month, thank goodness. Does anyone else feel that sometimes we are wishing our lives away by constantly counting down 'til month end though? :( On a sad note, one of our neighbours died suddenly yesterday aged mid 50's. My poor DH and another neighbour had to help the undertakers to bag and remove the body as it took 4 men to do it. It wasn't a great day at all so I'm trying to be positive today. Thanks for letting me share...:o

    Have a lovely sunny day everyone, barbecues & beach visits galore where you can :cool2: (I bet samtoby is on her boat) OH is working so I'm going to potter in the garden and I've splashed out on a single bottle of Real Ale to chill for when OH gets home tonight and a mini bottle of red wine for me....last of the big spenders me:rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi to you too, sue-uu, I hope it's not going to be too hot for you and lab. Stay in the shade but enjoy!

    Have a super day all x

    Aww little_sweetie that's awful :( your OH deserves a beer doesn't he and I'm glad you could come on here to vent. Life certainly throws us a curve ball now and then.
    I havent potted today cos I've got no money but I owe Patrick at least £6 now from supermarket savings so that'll go in soon :)
    Keep up the good work everyone

    Well I've been AWOL for almost a year from the site but I have returned to the MSE fold and have dusted off my sealed pot and brought it back out of retirement. I have christened him with £2.16, which is the entire contents of the change in my purse!

    Hope you will all have me back :)
