    Potted £2+ this evening after shopping and quick brew in Mr A cafe with my mate - oh we know how to push the boat out :rotfl:

    Well done on your trip out jakes-mum did you enjoy driving the lovely new car? By the way what have you called her?

    Potting £2.42 this evening...it's a very shiny 2p too :D

    Maybe Crimson - you never know! :)

    Thanks Lynsey :)

    Sue
    - I might have a convert, I think he's beginning to see the benefits of potting! ;)

    Well done jakes-mum :) It's great making new recipes, but it's always good to have your old favourites to fall back on too ;)

    I'm delighted because I haven't got work again until Sunday! I booked tomorrow off with my OH to celebrate 5 years together - and until this morning I'd forgotten that I'd booked off Friday too! I don't often work Saturdays anymore, so three consecutive days! :)

    We haven't bought each other a card or presents this year, as we're trying to save for our wedding. (We're not even doing birthday or Christmas presents! But I've said maybe we can go ring shopping in the Boxing Day sales and that can be our presents to each other for the next couple of years) We've got a few things planned for tomorrow though, including a wedding fair which I'm looking forward to :) I've also got a doctor's appointment tomorrow, so hopefully they'll give me some form of help regarding the migraines.

  • Aww thanks Lynsey...that's really sweet....

    I've added another £2.06 making the Total just over £35....not bad for a couple of Weeks....

    If I can get to £250 before Christmas that would be AMAZING as it would be enough to pay for the Christmas Presents that I haven't yet got....So that's what I'm aiming for....

    Emptied the change out of my purse and potted it....would hazard a guess at there being about a £1 that went in. Someone told me yesterday that there are 12 Saturdays until Xm*s. I am soooo looking forward to getting to Xm*s......would mean chemo was finished with...AND....am scheduled for second lot of surgery at end of Nov/beginning of December....and then I need 4 to 5 weeks healing (which coincides with Xm*s) before radiotherapy can start....so woohoo am hoping for an Xm*s where I can have a few gin and tonics as wont be on any drugs at that time:)

    Apologies for getting sooo excited about Xm*s whilst we are still in September!

    crimson - the extra few weeks will be much needed when my niece starts to make her list for Santa. lol.

    Rosyq - noro is awful we had it at Easter whilst on holiday. Sorry to hear you in bed with the lurgy now - hope you feel better soon.

    Oh and just been to the shops - 22p change went into the pot.
