Happy Birthdays E2Rub and My lovely LC2 hope you both had fabby days (or did like me and declared a birthday weekend :rotfl:) its now 4 days to DS's big 12 birthday (as miss Lily keeps reminding me as she is the walking birthday countdown) must get on this week and make him a birthday cake which means I need to buy a big bag of M&M's and a pack of G/F kitkats

No pennies at the minute as I paid by card, am considering pushing my limits and going to the market to see the pet stall to see how much they charge for bird food and I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want one of those rugs thats a road for Miss Lilys bedroom :rotfl:

£2 coin added to porky (the pig)

As of payday I am withdrawing my weekly shopping budget in cash so hopefully if I'm spend savvy porky will get a little fatter!!

Hi everyone. Thank you ALL so very much for your beautiful words, they go such a long way at such times. Sadly, things haven't changed much, how on earth she is still alive I do not know! She's not eaten for weeks and barely drunk either....yet still goes on. The Nurses have been wonderful - except for one afternoon when the diamorphine ran out and she was left in agony!! It took hours for her to become pain-free, but DH & I stayed so as to at least comfort her. Keep well and safe, folks, and carry on looking out for each other as you've done so brilliantly I'll be in just as soon as I'm able.

Thanks so very much, Nell, Ruth and Modesty.

Soo pleased to hear of your tonic of tea with friends, Nell, laughter is the best medicine! Still sending many {{{{HUGS}}}} your way, stay positive.

Hmm Nell, really sorry to hear your news. Sending you hugs and thoughts. I think I live near you, if you need a change of scenery and a coffee, PM and I will be there!

I thought that was such a wonderful gesture, mishmogs, whether Nell needs/wants to take you up or not, the reaching out and thoughtfulness is such a gift. A gold star for you. :staradmin BTW, good for you on pleasing your lad with your curry rather than the Indian!!

A gold star for you also, Rosy, jakes-mum, Ruth, starnac, Helen, and MissE001, :staradmin :staradmin :staradmin :staradmin :staradmin :staradmin thanks so much for the delightful welcomes and explanation to CC and Mark

Very many thanks, mossy, really kind of you.


Good to see you home and saving, nikki2804!! Stick with us and you'll be saving big time!

LittleOwl - move right away from that pot! :eek: Treat it as a bomb and LEAVE WELL ALONE!!!:eek: Be proud of all you've saved and start on No 2.


I can sympathise with you, Rosy, mine aren't 'funny'...nor will the cost of new ones be! Just need replacing due to new lenses and slipping frames. Do what you need to do re pot.


What a great friend you have, ETO, Henry will soon be doing so well!! Please give him a kiss and cuddle from me.

Evening all. After a splendid sunny weekend, including running the Manchester 10k (completed in less than an hour, very happy!) I am back to my potting ways and putting in £4.50 today

LunaLady

Been neglecting my pot over the last few months, but I am resolved to remedy that so I have put £2.00 in today

ChristmasCarol

Thank you for my number Sue

Steadily potting £1-£2 a day so hoping thats all going to add up come November

DreamerHelen

Ooooooh thank you to Sue for my shiny new Star....and I am so sorry to hear that your family member is not any better....I wish you all the best...I'll be thinking of you.

Jakes Mum.....Speaking of Birthday Cakes....have you thought about looking around for Cakeless Cakes? They are basically Cakes made entirely from Sweets and you can usually choose the Sweets you have them made from....I can't seem to figure out how to post a Photo but I have a great Photo of an Eiffel Tower Cake that I had made for my Ex just before we were due to go to Paris....Just a thought anyway...

No potting for me today....but I'm still getting there slowly!!

System

Sue thanks for my lovely shiny star

I'm so sorry your relative has been in such pain it must be very distressing for you too. Try and look after yourself and OH too?

Sue - Hugs and kisses duly given to Henry. Sorry to hear you are having such a tough time. Glad your family member has been on the receiving end of good nursing care, apart from the one occasion. Must be so hard for you. Thinking of you. xxxxx

Hope everyone has had a good BH weekend.

Birthday wishes to those who are celebrating.
