    Hi Guys,
    Have been potting and hubby-rummaging in equal measures. Granny coinage donation added to the pot last night also. As my second pot is now overflowing, just using sealable plastic freezer bag for the next 18 days until the big count-up (so exciting...!).

    jakes-mum, if they can't look after their customers then it's their loss, though if the bosses admit to sometimes getting it wrong ~ they should reimburse to put it right!! :mad: I'm so pleased you're happy with the new carpet, though look out jakes-dad, she'll have you doing the entire house before long!! :(BTW, all through that post and you never kept to topic at all!!! :mad:

    You must have missed the bit about money I had potted, as its very unlike me to not keep to topic at all :rotfl::rotfl:

    Soooo loving the carpet, though scared the bejebus out of our mate when he went to walk in the living room with his shoes on :eek:, already lined up DH to do Miss Lilys room again and then our room, theres no rest for the wicked ;)

    Yayyy Nells, no more treatment this side of Christmas :D:D

    Roughly a squid in the pot in various shrapnel, pot looks lovely with all those pennies in it :D

    Hi all
    Back from a weekend walking, potted 2 x £2 plus shrapnel plus £10 cos I had a money off voucher for a meal for DD's birthday :)
    Pleased with that :)
    Nell I'm glad you're through the last lot of chemo and can look forward to Xmas, that must be a weight off your mind :)
    Keep it up all you lovely potters, we're nearly there :D

    little_sweetie - I set a budget to help foodbanks and a few who needed help. I also gave a lot of free stuff from using vouchers (free soup, beans etc). Sadly, I'm giving it a miss next year as there is some abuse going on which I'm not comfortable with (sadly others suffer). I may donate more direct next year and know where the stuff is going to.
    Lynsey

    I became disillusioned with some 'charitable organisations' as well two years ago and decided to give directly. I now support two organisations which directly fund individual repayable loans worldwide for various reasons.. Don't know if I can mention them on here but you can pm me if you're interested.

    BIG news of the month for me - we have a new (to us) car :T may not sound very MS but

    Bought it at the auctions on Friday so fingers xd it is all okay. It is a Mazda 3 diesel 2004 as DH has to have reliable car to get to work - often 4.00-5.00 in the morning up here in the frozen north and not garaged. He seems happy ;). Paid out of savings so will have to put back when I have finished paying for course.

    Am still 'feeding' my pot with £1-a-day until paid off course monies.

    Hope you all have a good Monday

  • Nothing potted yesterday, but off for a long walk later and will hopefully find at least a bit of roadkill change to pop in tonight!
