    Money things first...... a small but perfectly formed 20p in pot last night, and a battered and somewhat mangled 10p to join it.

    Non money thing - (deep breath) I am having a BAD day at work today :(:(:(:( My (really nice) boss has all but retired and works from home now and the Team Leader has become so full of herself she is making my life miserable. I feel really picked on today and I am a very unhappy bunny. I feel a huge sulk coming on......... where's that chocolate......

        Welcome Janvier, maryandal, WishICouldFindMySlippers (great name btw) and poorbabe.

        Sue will be along shortly to give you your very own number. In the mean time, please read the first post on the first page. It has really great tips and all the rules and everything you could ever need. That being said, if you do have any questions please ask. Everyone on this board is so so lovely.

        It may also be an idea to subscribe (almost top of the page, thread tools, subscribe) so you don't lose us.

        Most of all just have a great time potting and looking forward to your "free" Christmas


        I have finished the week with £4.75 in my purse so that will go into the pot tonight once i take out my pocket money for the week.

        Walked home from work again so that's 2 miles added to the day's total and £1.50 potted along with some pennies from my purse.

        Any time I wanted to quit and grab the next bus I thought about the pleasure of potting those coins, Sue! :j
