    I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon all.
    A bit "muggy" today and wouldn't be surprised to see a thunderstorm downpour.

    Potted £2.90.

    £414+ potted.

    Happybeingme - you are definitely off and running again now - well done for sticking with it.

    I have some absolutely wonderful news.......my scan to see whether my cancer has spread to anywhere else other than my breast and lymph nodes came back as fine today. Never felt soooo relieved in all my life.

    Start chemo on Monday so apologies in advance if I am not on here so regularly next week, or just leave short messages when I do pop in.

    I am off to celebrate with an ice-cream - woohoo.

    Congratulations nell36 what fantastic news ~ I'm so pleased for you and hope the chemo goes well xx

    Sorry I wasn't on yesterday ~ £5 from wages went straight into the pot, then today M.I.L gave me £10 towards eldest son's cake for the meal on sunday (he was 18 a few weeks ago but we're going for a special meal on sunday) so I potted that too. Think its getting easier?!

    Probably won't be on for a few days as I have lots on but hope everyone has a brilliant weekend :D

    xx
  • Hi everyone,

    Fabulous news nell :)hugs to you x

    I hope you are all enjoying the sunshine. It's a bit too hot for me at the moment but I will not complain :cool: even though I have waited in all day for the man to come & empty my charity collection tin and he forgot to come...:mad: Tonight we are going to a little get together with the neighbours at our local pub and I have organised a raffle. All proceeds of the raffle will be going to the Air Ambulance so please wish me luck. I hope that everyone will loosen their purse strings after a couple of drinks as it will be so embarrassing to make just a small amount of money :o

    I have no change to pot until after tonight so I'll pop my head in tomorrow to report....

    Have a lovely evening!

  • $2.20 into pot today!

    Tomorrow I leave the house in about 14 hours to begin my trip to my mums house! Its about a 2 hour journey to the airport on the bus and I've never been by bus before just by myself so I'm a bit scared! I'm leaving pots at home because no way am I carrying them on a plane with me xD Will probably pot into my coin purse while I'm over there!

    Is it too late to join you?

    I have been saving change in the sealed tins from the £ shop since last Christmas and i am onto my 3rd. No idea what's in there, but I will spend them on Christmas presents this year.

    Hope it is ok if I join in?

    32b3in2013 it is never to late to join! Welcome, the fearless leader Suu will be along to give you your own number to shove into your signature (which will be your number for life, whether you want it to be or not!) she'll ask you to read the first post thoroughly to make sure you understand it all first (:

    It can get quite addicting! I started in late May I believe and since being on MSE I've put in more than $60 into the tin (: its a lot of fun too to know other people are putting money away too!

    How exciting! I'm sure you'll be fine. The golden rule for me is always ask someone in authority if you're not sure of anything (like getting on the correct bus :)) then just enjoy the journey. Have a wonderful time.

    Hi! Welcome to the [STRIKE]madhouse[/STRIKE] thread :D As untouchable said it's never too late to join us and you have a tremendous start already with your pots. Use us all as motivation to save and pot more for your Christmas presents. Please do read post #1 first though; it explains what we are about. Sue-uu will give you a number as soon as she can. Enjoy potting!

    I just popped in to report that I took £33 for the raffle for Air Ambulance last night, which is not too bad considering only 30 of us turned up for the get together (it must have been too hot for some, I think) I had only a fiver to spend and treated myself to a lovely large glass of ice cold white wine leaving me with 90p to pot for this week. Another slim month methinks....wish my body realised this :rotfl::rotfl:Now is there any ice cream left in the freezer???????

    Enjoy the sun everyone!
