    Aw dear FiL has given me a bag containing £5 worth of 20p coins :kisses3:

    Hi there, little_sweetie, aww bless him! Well, his dislike of change will certainly help you out. BTW, have you had that money show up in the bank yet? If not, I hope it won't be long, at least it's safe.

    Hello lozzy, so, in the right place at the right time for that 1p, keep the eyes down..but snatch looks ahead every now and then or you'll smack into something or someone and if it's another SPCer...ooh you'd better be careful. Still, a simple rugby tackle should do the trick! :rotfl:

    I don't blame you, nomi, it'll quite possibly have given you even more incentive to battle on to get the next lot in there asap.
    Happy potting, folks.

    Hi Sue, well the good news is that they have put my money back :) but they have sent me a letter saying that they will investigate with the other bank and if the transaction is deemed as complete they will take it back again :eek: How can it be complete if my money is still in Barcl*ys machine?? I just hope common sense prevails.....

    Just had to pop in here again 'cos dear FiL had given me a lottery ticket on Thursday which I just checked and I've won £10 :T I will bank half and put £5 in my (empty :o) purse. It seems I'm on a roll at the moment! I just hope the bank doesn't take my £250 again otherwise I'll be taking my savings out to pay off the overdraft :mad:

    Hope you and DH are well and keeping warm x

    Morning sparky, hope it's a good'n for you. Well done on the 21p, that's the first you've had for a while isn't it? Sign of harder times maybe, though you'll be over the park when the kiddies/youngsters are on holiday!! :D

    Afternoon Sue
    Road change has been a bit scarce lately, dark afternoons don't helpn though. I'll be on the hunt during daylight hours though.

    Still waiting for a flurry of totals to be posted on SPC5!
