    Part Mouse - I'll get some put up and post the link. We have a lot of rescued parrots so they're not all in the best of feather.....

    Rosyq - Thank you :)

    Jakes-Mum - I have PMed you.... i'm glad my advice worked :D Bless your kids. Squash was out last night and kept attacking my phone and tablet then my fingers when i stopped her. When they bite you are supposed to just wobble your hand/tablet/whatever they're stood on to knock them a little off balance so they stop. After doing that for 30 minutes and it not getting into her head i put her away. I got her out about 30 minutes later and just left her on top of the cage so she can fly and leave me be and i got into bed to watch tv on the tablet. She flew over to me and snuggled into the gap between my face shoulder and pillow and started puffing her feathers up and rubbing her head on my cheek until i sat and stroked her. Strange bird, maybe her previous owners dumped her cause she changes her mood and the drop of a hat.... typical woman hahaha...... (i also want to point out that she hasn't pooped whilst out the cage, she goes back to her cage to do that else i wouldn't let her near my bed lol)

    frugalliving - Welcome to the thread :) your pot looks to be off to a great start well done :)



    I managed to pot £1.68 last night. I also found my Christmas money that was lost in my room so since i technically spent it from my own bank that is now my spending money :D I will have more to pot after all. Excited, i hope my K!ndle comes today.

    Hi frugalliving! :D

    Been off work today ill :( On the plus side it has saved 45 miles-worth of diesel though.

    I found 1p on the OH's bedside table which can go in the pot. I can't believe there's still another two weeks to go until payday, I might have to stop eating lol.

    Just popping by quickly, have been AWOL for a bit as had absolutely no money to pot, with having to buy extraordinary amounts of baby bits and needing every penny for my maternity leave, but have been lurking and keeping up with the goings on.

    Anyway on other news... our beautiful baby boy arrived on Saturday morning. He is gorgeous and tiny and I love him to bits. And has kept us quite busy over the last few days. :D But I wouldn't change a thing.

    I am hoping I might get back into potting small amounts and probably infrequently, but would still be nice to join the grand opening in Nov and have something in my pot. :D

    Hope everyone is well.
