    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all.

    AlwaysHappy - flight to Tenerife this time (end Oct/early Nov) and crazy, crazy price for Tenerife. Just checked and almost doubled.
    Just need cheap accommodation for a cheapie holiday.

    Mad day today, virtually all change was in £2 coins.
    Got 6 and decided to pot them all along with a single 20p coin = £12.20 potted.

    My garden furniture arrived yesterday and we sat out and had dinner in the garden this evening...although it's probably not quite warm enough yet! As it arrived a day late, they refunded my delivery charge and after having a chat with someone else they gave me a £10 credit which was nice of them. ;)

    No potting today, we've been at Heathrow airport helping with a trial at the new Terminal 2 building. Free family day out!! :D

    Glad they refunded your delivery, and :j for the free credit :D

    Oooo your free trial comment reminds me, I just got picked as one of the testers for a hand held hoover :D I have 30 days to upload a review of it and then I get to keep the machine :j :j perfect for me as 1) my lot are just disgustingly dirty, im surprised my carpets arn't bare from the amount of time they spend getting hoovered! :rotfl: and 2) I struggle to get our henry up the stairs as its too heavy for me, so really looking forward to giving this thing a thorough workout :D

    Plus I love to [STRIKE]complain about[/STRIKE] review things so this is right up my street :rotfl:

    No pennies today as I just canny be arrised to get out the chair and go get my purse :o

    No potting so far this week :-( but off to a wedding this afternoon so hopefully I'll come home tonight with a jingly-jangly purse!

    However looking at the 'bigger picture' by the end of April I'll be sub 20k debt which was previously a mental block for me hoping that'll see things start to move a bit faster towards being Debt free!

    Morning all.

    Hope78 - keep chipping away and set little goals. Your "mental block" will soon be a memory. Good luck.

    Potted 2 x £1 coins today.
