  • Hey all just popping in to say hi!

    Hi everyone. Been a weird weather day today. Atrocious this morning, bright sunshine this aft and now its hailing. Odd.

    Not got much cash on me at the moment so only tiny bits going in the pot. Today the 5p's in my purse have been annoying me cause they hide in all the little corners. So rescued them. 45p it is. Oh. and a nice shiny £2. :j

    Hi

    I've been MIA firm MSE for over year but back and ready to go with a challenge, so pleased to find the SPCs are still going strong and excited that finishing date is the day before I'll (hopefully) graduate with my Masters Degree. I'd love to join.

    I'm aiming for £300 to treat myself after four years of studying!

    Hiya everyone think I'm just gonna be a once a week regular to check in with progress and check everybody else's posts. I'm now up to £70 in my pot. I'm over the moon with this as it has been 3 out of four of my children's birthdays in the last three weeks. Got a busy birthday month in February as well but will still keep going with the potting.

    Happy potting everybody xxxx:grouphug:

  • Thanks for the get well wishes everyone. Feeling much better today than yesterday.
    Well another proud mummy moment at the athletics comp.
    DS won the 4 lap race against what I can only decscribe as manboys. Bless him he competes in the U15s and is 13. Some of the older boys look like young men.
    He came 3rd in the standing long jump gaining 3 pbs so he was well chuffed with that result.
    5th in the speed bounce. The lad who won it we think has just gained the national record today.:eek:
    The relay team came 2nd.
    Very happy boy as he came home with 2 medals. Overall they came 2nd in the competition.
    We think that he may get a place to represent Cheshire in the regional finals but have to wait to find out.
    Sorry for my waffle but really pleased for him as he really wanted to win the 4 lap and the determination on his face was worth it.:T:T

    After all that sorry nothing potted today as a NSD.
    Well done everyone on your potting and welcome to the newbies x

  • I was reading this lovely story about a lady who needed money and prayed to her Guardian Angel and when she woke up the next morning there were notes all over her garden... so I thought that's worth a try and sent a wee prayer up.... this morning there was a shiny 5p on the sofa that no one has any knowledge of.
    I think my guardian angel is either having a laugh or he pots all his money and that's all he had on him.
