    Hi Everyone

    Going Poland Mon morning will be going past you Sparky about 5 so if you want to wave me off just stand on the corner !!

    DH has the same impression of me as you and Sue I don't want to go to the camps but DH and friends are visiting them so I will be on my own for the day. Now I am not bothered cos plenty of other things to do like shopping!!! but DH has told me not to walk to far from the hotel in case I get lost. Don't chat to everyone like you usually do. Watch where you go when going for something to eat and carry the name of the hotel with you :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    SUE I am sure LC came on and gave us her total last year. might be wrong !!

    Put lots in my pot today!!

    What do you mean theres no Father Christmas :eek: :eek: but then who puts all the prezzies under the tree?? I feel so disillusioned :cry::cry:

    a teeny tiny 1p roadkill in the pot today as the sea scouts were packing bags at the C0-op so I gave the lad all my small change :o. My jake used to be a sea scout so I like to support them as I know they do a lot of fund raising for their excursions and new equipment :o

    Evening all.

    More newbies - welcome and good luck.

    I've had a great day with the Amex "small shops" day, but no cash handed over. I managed a little change from putting the lottery on, so £3 potted (included a £2 coin).

    Most of my Xmas pressies are sorted, just bits and bobs.
    Just the food to sort.

    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. :(

    Lol

    Sometimes you just have to just throw professionalism "out of the window" ........................ perhaps this was one of those times. :D

    Asking for advice re keeping animals out of Christmas trees how do you stop a Jack Russel terrier from going under the tree and shaking herself, it's like one of the automatic tennis ball servers trying to catch baubles from flying off the tree :rotfl::rotfl:

    lol this made me chuckle, until I remembered that my sister (and her partner, plus my mum) are coming down here for an early Christmas before we go on holiday....and she is bringing her dog, which is a 2 year old puggle. I'm scared for my poor Christmas tree!! :xmastree::eek::rotfl:

    Managed to give myself food poisoning but while crawling to the bathroom I found 2 x 20p so it's not all bad. In the pot it goes :j

    Wow, that's commitment!! Every cloud and all that.... _pale_ Hope you feel better soon.

    Good day for the pot today. Bought some Nutella from Mossy's Market so £1 to pot. Also did a bit of retail therapy (DH is still on tour until about 3am tomorrow morning when he gets back and I dropped DD off at her friends house for their surprise trip to Winter Wonderland at Hyde Park...so feeling a bit sad). Potting 12p change and also found 20p under the sofa when I was moving it around (moved the sticky out bit of the sofa on to the other side so it doesn't get scorched by the gas fire). So thats £1.32 today...very happy with that!! :T

    Had to spend £20 on a carbon monoxide detector today though :eek: :wall: still better to be safe than sorry!! DH has ordered a new fan unit for the central heating which should arrive on Tuesday. Hopefully when he fits it, it fixes the problem!!

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend peeps. :A
    Saving for Disney again, oops why book one Disney holiday when you can book two!
