Fabulous news Nell x you'll be walking on air this Xmas:beer:
I too had a good app this week - my radio therapy cons has discharged me, so just need a scan to confirm my NH Lymphoma has gone ( apparently they don't normally scan as the treatment after chemo is SO effective but mines a tad unusual as its in my shoulder - but they see no reason for it not to have blasted the blighter away) YIPPEE:j
Well I'm still under the weather with this flipping heavy cold (its worse than my chemo I think! so not much potting from me but hope to change that after a visit to the ATM (ended up spending monies from this weeks budget out of my wallet that i'd planned to pot as being unwell I've not been out much) will resolve that tommorow
Did manage to put away a secret £20 note tho in our holiday pot that hubby still knows nothing about (hoping to raid more in next few days after a big shop for Xmas means we won't need much til Jan:T
Sue-UU hope your knee is getting better x :big hug: to you too

Great news nell and meowhouse!!!
I potted some paper money today, never thought that would happen! I had £5 note change from the shop and get paid tomorrow so chucked it in the pot. It's a bit addictive actually, but there are much worse things to be hooked on.

Please also subscribe to the thread by clicking on "Thread Tools" (lower green bar) and clicking "Subscribe to this thread"...or you may lose us! To put your SPC No on, go to "Quick Links" (right side of top green bar), click and then click on "Edit Signature" and you're away.
*Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it really helps.
Ok, floella80 and sh1305 it's wonderful you've both returned and on the same day! That has to count for something, so stay motivated and save well, good luck girls!
I echo your words to jakes-mum, Saver88......
I hope you return, jakes-mum, and that you do so before Christmas. The past is what it is!Good potting, Saver88 by the way.
You're happy then, Suziebabe?? :rotfl:
Good saving, Gayle!claireyfairy82 wrote: »What great news at this time of year, my family are hoping for similar news for my grandfather come the new year.
I sincerely hope your news is as good as Nell's, claireyfairy, best wishes til then. Well done with your savings.
Just the job, Emily, keep up the under spending!!! :j
It's one of those times when you just couldn't not post a few words, eh Rosy. Splendid news.
Please could you pop it on asap, Habibiboo, just in case you forget?Meowhouse wrote:I too had a good app this week - my radio therapy cons has discharged me, so just need a scan to confirm my NH Lymphoma has gone ( apparently they don't normally scan as the treatment after chemo is SO effective but mines a tad unusual as its in my shoulder - but they see no reason for it not to have blasted the blighter away) YIPPEE:j
Every best wish possible, Meowhouse, that your scan reveals the optimism of your radiotherapist and that all will be well. I'm saying nowt more til then. :silenced: Huge {{{hugs}}} for now and I so hope your cold is soon much better, you may have been a bit low recently though. Thank you about my knee, fingers crossed.Brilliant news on the £20!!!

So very true, helendcal, and one we don't need treatment for. Great news on the £5er!
Good to hear you've had such a good time, nikki2804, and had a really good laugh.Have a good night, all, and do TAKE GREAT CARE tomorrow!!
PLEASE NOTE everyone: It's time to change your numbers now. You'll see there are LOADS less names and numbers now, but it's useless having folk on the list that no longer save with us. However, if old members return then you'll be made very welcome and can still have your name added and be given a new number.Please change numbers ASAP folks.
If you've already updated your No, please could you kindly make sure it's correct as I made a blunder to start with!
Very many thanks indeed.Sue x

Hello,
Spent the afternoon in Cambridge and have come home with change, however tomorrow I need to do LOADS of stupid faffy running around so am hanging on it in case of parking.
Nell, I have only just rejoined but am so pleased to hear your news. That is so brilliant, there really aren't words XXXX
In case I get lost in preparation Happy Christmas everyone - I can't make the smilies work so imagine some Christmas trees!

A warm welcome to all the newbies and returners :hello:Hello All,
In the meantime....I have fantastic news........saw the surgeon on Wednesday and the second lot of surgery showed that the cancer cells that were remaining from the tumour had been killed off. Woohoo.....best Christmas present ever. Even the surgeon gave me a hug!

Brilliant news for you too :dance: - though sorry about the cold still clinging on.
