    Hi everyone, quite a few pages to catch up on again. Never seem to have time to nip in here much, although the intention is there!
    Potted bits and bats including 20p supermarket kill.

    Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays x

    I watched a couple of them , I was gob smacked at the Chinese girl who fed her guests from the dumpsters. The look on that girls face was priceless . :rotfl:

    LC 2. Here, you're ok to be just LC now as there was no response from Little Chicken, well, unless she's away. Leave it for a bit or she might have a go at you when she comes back. *shrugs shoulders*

    Hello everyone :D...

    Hope everyone’s had a good Christmas :beer:.
    Ours was good, there was a giant wrapping paper massacre in our living room, the dog went bonkers :eek:, and we had fun :D :rotfl: :D.

    The tin foil I'd bought in advance two weeks ago went missing :eek: , on Christmas Eve of all days. So we had to improvise and put the beef brisket (reduced), into the slow cooker overnight. Glad we did now, it was beautiful :j :D :j.

    We didn't have huge expensive gadgets and items, but the DD's were happy and loved their gifts :D. I've got a lot of drawing and crafty style glueing and sticking, plus jigsaws, to keep myself busy for the rest of the holidays :rotfl: :D :rotfl:. My dad smirked when one of the DD's unwrapped the jigsaws he got them, because he knew I'd be on the floor doing them, for the next few weeks :p.
    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:"Dad, dad, dad...":rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:. May as well enjoy it while it lasts though, pretty soon it'll be "Aaaaw dad man, you're dead embarrassing" :D.

    A few pennies for the last few days too :beer:.
    I'm glad I can bring a smile still LC :D.

    Happy Potting everyone :D:p:D.

  • Hi everybody I'm back into this challenge. Potted some coins in me New Tin. It's so lovely to do a chunk of Christmas shopping with hard cash that you haven't really missed throughout the year.

    Hope everyone had a fantastic Christmas. This can't be right - I have caught the sealed tin bug!! Got up early, was at Marks and Spencer - to TAKE BACK!! at 8am!!Bought a couple of rolls of wrapping paper - and potted the remaining £8.80. I didn't even look around the shop (or any of the other sales). I decided last night I had everything I needed - not necessarily everything I want but that is completely different. Had a text later off a friend inviting me sales shopping - replied that I didn't need anything and she hasn't got back to me - I imagine she is in a state of shock - its not that many years ago I nearly exhausted myself between the Next and M&S sale, spent £800 in less than an hour (admittedly "quite" a lot went back....) Boy, it feels good!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
