Good morning all
The sun has got his hat on
Coffee time, see you later0 -
Okay, sweepstake on the national..
There are 40 horses at the moment, all of these horses have been numbered randomly by myself, and the list sent to another forum member to scrutinise.
What happens is you pledge a pound (or more) and the 'owner' of the winning horse chooses a charity for the donations to be paid too. You then pay your 'stake' to that charity through the just giving website, I will give the link after the race, for the charity has been chosen. If this all goes tits up, please dont blame me, it is late
If you want to pledge, copy and paste the list, and add your name and these instructions please.

Its like a bit treasure trove in there going to have so much fun. Some beautiful buttons. Feel guilty now for all the clothing I have thrown away with buttons on and all the little plastic packets of spare buttons thrown.
I love the pic of your treasure chest!
DH thinks I'm mad when I tell him the fun I used to have playing with my Nans button tin (was an old round tin, similar to the christmas roses tins we have), I used to play for hours with buttons and thread making nothing in particular
I've started taking the buttons off old clothes and keeping the spares now as DD has taken a liking to playing with them. They say the best things in life are free....
I told DH I wanted a sewing box for christmas but he didn't understand I wanted an old fashioned one like my Nan had, therefore I'm still yet to find one I really like
Historic Debt August 2009 = £63,600 10th March 2017 = £0 100% paid all gone!
Mortgage started June 2015 = £170,000 January 2022 = £134,000
Saving for Xmas 2022= . . Amazon £55

Hope you are backing him.

Just have to hope that they don't do a drugs test on our Treacle as he has a half measure steroid injection about once every couple of months for his skin
