Hi all, have been awol for a bit, stuff going on and that but have still been potting away and have just extra sealed my pot and taped over the hole, he is now hidden in a secret location ( just hope I remember it in Nov ). I had to borrow a £1 from dinner money as put all my change into my first pot and didn't like the new one sitting empty without a rattle silly eh. Hugs to all xx.

My counting jar stopped working.
It constantly says there's 10p in there. :rotfl:
Nothing potted today or spent.
Never mind, it will be a lovely surprise when you count it
Just 20p for me today....the last of the food budget.

Been out today to look at trellis aswe have decided the new fence is too short and come back with a retracting hose that DH has wanted for 'agessssssssssssss' (seriously, its like having a third child! :rotfl:) so my free trip out has cost me £40 :eek: . . . plus the £10 we spent on new toys and fruit sticks for the bird (ok that was me
)
On the plus side, both DH and George are being very quiet playing with their respective new toys
:rotfl:
No pennies for the pot as I had to use the card today having no money in my purse

Afternoon
Today is the first day I have potted any money since 30 April as I have been using my bank card.
£4.50 potted today though
This time next week I will have completed my charity run. On Thursday night I ran 5k for the first time so I am a week ahead on the training. I went running again this morning and I did the 5k in 1 minute 6 seconds less than I did it on Thursday
I hope everyone is well xx

I'm always impressed with runners I couldn't do that for toffee
Good luck with it
Potted some shrapnel today after a little trip out with my BFF to look at the bluebells

Hi
Its a 5k for a local school, so not a big race.
I didn't think I could run, in fact, I couldn't even run for 1 minute, 4 weeks ago, but I followed the couch to 5k app and now I can run for 50 minutes non-stop and could probably go further if I really had to!!
Have a go, its does work. I run really slowly, but its still running. I think you are supposed to build up distance and then work on speed

I did try the C25K but only lasted a week - I get so breathless I give up
even with the intervals it was too hard so I stick to walking. Hope you enjoy next week
