    Evening everyone :hello:

    I potted 50p earlier today as DH had foolishly left it lying around! A child in my class found 20p in the playground and I nearly wrestled them to the ground for it, but decided it would be unprofessional on my part. :(

    I'm hoping for my first bit of roadkill at some point...

    Vicky that is shameful!! :silenced: So you didn't get it then? Ah well, better luck next time. :rotfl: Of course kiddie places are the best places for finding roadkill, parks, playgrounds etc. ;)

    Have a lovely time LC2 we'll miss you

    Have good weekends everyone and keep warm. I'm walking along the coast from Brighton to Worthing tomorrow - that should blow the cobwebs away!

    What d'you go and tell her that for, Rosy? She may even get it into her head that you even mean it!! Now she's going to expect the red carpet treatment when she gets back.
    You have a lovely exhilarating walk tomorrow, a perfect day for it from all they say. Not oo close to the edge mind!

    Oh that's splendid news, nu1isit?, and if anyone deserves a drink with their feet up then I reckon it's you! ;) I'll bet you're chuffed to mint balls.

    Hi Sue-UU

    Thanks for the warm welcome. I have just moved the lime green sealed pot and it rattled so I think there is already a £1 in it- so I put one in for good measure to start me off!
    Woohoo, I'm off!

    Ps - how do you get the pretty colours in your signature??

    Brilliant saving, Pickle!! Use the black A above where you put the text of a message ie. like this It's to the right of the "Sizes". Highlight a word then click on the A and choose the colour you want. Any more help, please just ask away. :D

    :xmastree: Still no heating or hot water here :eek: (immensely grateful that we have an electric shower!!!). My boss is going to get her hubby to come over and take a look at the boiler tonight seeings as DH is away until Sunday. Fortunately someone at work asked me the sensible question of did I have a gas fire...I replied no and then remembered actually there is one in the front room...which is now blasting out some heat! So whatever I'm doing tomorrow it will be happening in here!! :D
    Have a lovely weekend everyone....stay warm and well!! :)


    Oh poor you - miserable being cold. I'm sending a virtual hug and a onesie and hope it's fixed soon

    I should imagine it will blow you away with them if you're not careful. I'd walk well away from the edge :eek:


    Fantastic pound potted for Friday - must remember to get measuring tape out tomorrow :D


    Hope you all have a Super Saturday everyone
