    The tin is making a LOVELY noise AND it's a decent weight!

    You know what??
    I haven't weighed my pot this year yet, but I reckon it's around 3kg now (based on last years performance). I'll weigh tomorrow and see how close I am to my guess. But it definitely has a decent weight to it now.

    Wow! Mine isn't that heavy. Just a nice "getting heavier" type weight. I'd better get cracking to catch up with you. :D

    Evening pottersssssssssssss

    Well finally had my PPI cheque :j just shy of £300 so can buy DD a new bed finally :D she is currently cwtched up in DS's bed with him as my dad was going to paint her room Friday and we stripped everything out, but when he came there were still holes in the walls and the skirting needed painting and I wanted a bench made over the stairs bit so he threw his hands up, filled the holes, built half the bench and said he'd be back next week :rotfl:

    DD is loving it as DS has a double bed . . . I took a pic last night, she was in the middle of the bed and he was almost falling off the edge :rotfl:

    Went into hiding yesterday as I'm afraid I'm a bit bah humbug when it comes to valentines day. I like DH to buy me flowers because 1) he felt like it and 2) they were reduced or on special, not because hallmark told him too. But saying that, I managed to win one of those big cookies from the cookie shop in our local city and it got delivered to DH yesterday by our local radio station :o he was moaning he felt bad as he hadn't got me anything, I replied 'if it hadn't have been free you wouldn't have got owt either' :D I'm so romantic :D

    6p in the pot today after DS managed to lose his brace! Found it under his bed (the money not the brace) and decided it was payment for the hour and a half I had to look for the darned thing :mad:

    Less to catch up then as only 2.7kg!!
    It's possibly the only time you are happy when seeing the scales weigh heavier.
    My pot needs to put on some more weight. :p

    Just popping in and hopefully I'll get that £10 changed to coins today to start the week off.
    Catch up later.

    Ah..I see what you mean about sparky, LC 2, take advantage of the cash, but fingers crossed for a fairly speedy return. BTW....your DH wouldn't have been able to gain access to your pot - IF it had been sealed now would he?!! :eek: :p
