    Go to https://www.photobucket.com and make an account, click the orange 'upload' button at the top and select your picture from your computer.
    Once uploaded, select the picture and click 'edit' then 'resize' change the first size number to 400 and click save. On the right hand side click the link next to 'direct', come back here and click the little picture of the mountain above the reply box, delete out the http and right hand click, select paste and your link should get pasted in. When you post your reply your pic should be there and not absolutely massive :D

    Yesterday was handed change - sorry I don't have any £5 notes - so was handed 3 lovely £2 coins and 2 x 50ps. Have been in a quandary as can't really afford to lose all that from the budget but on the other hand...... having mulled over it - I have taken the huge leap of potting it so no turning back now - it will be s'on (something on toast) for the rest of the month if necessary!! I know I could have put it in a holding pot, but I'm an all or nothing kind of girl (middle aged grumpy old woman).
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Morning all. Woken to the sad news of the small wee boy from Edinburgh. :mad:

    but I'm an all or nothing kind of girl (middle aged grumpy old woman).

    That description doesn't match your user-name. :D
    Well done with the potting of those £2's and 50p's though. :T

    Potted a single £1 coin.

    Have a great weekend all - be lucky.

    Indeed Lynsey - what can I say - I'm a Gemini!! I was indicating that calling myself "girl" may be giving off the wrong impression (but that's what I am until I look in the mirror) - AlwaysHappy is the persona I aim for!! Have found 30p since I last updated - happy days indeed. Happy potting everyone!!

    Hi All,


    At last some good luck :) I have been battling with DWP and ATOS. Due to the cancer I have been unable to work since May 2013. Should of had an assessment at 14 weeks (August 2013), but DWP overlooked this. Apparently their computer didn't speak to the ATOS one. ATOS do the assessments. Months and months later, and finally having the energy to deal with it properly, I did one very stroppy telephone call at the beginning of the week....lots of apologies....I was fuming, as if I don't have enough to bloomin deal with!! Following day all sorted and money went into account yesterday. Have treated the pot to about £10 in change :)
