    Evening all.
    Potting £2.14 this Evening....


    I know I will get there....eventually!! :D

    You always do, probably the strongest finisher we have. ;)

    I start to slow down now, but potted a few coins today.
    £2 coin, 2 x £1's, a 50p and 2 x 20p's = £4.90.

    Just plodding along now, though still a long way to go. Plenty of time to get Xmas for "free".

    Hi everyone and thank you ALL so much for your kind well-wishes, they're much appreciated. I've still got food poisoning I'm afraid and can't wait for a let up as I feel so drained. What a thing to be having a "work in progress" with! :eek: Still, there are a LOT worse things to be suffering from so I can't complain. Thanks again.

    Welcome back, I hope your food poisoning goes away soon, Sue!

    I'm not having an op, I've had to go back to work because I can't afford to have any more time off. Pain has returned and now my tummy feels really heavy and there's a weird pulling sensation.. Lord knows what it is...

    Thanks to you, Lulu. Do take care of yourself with that pain, it does sound strange with the pulling though.
    Hope all of your are enjoying the slight sunny days.

    Sorry about your food poisoning Sue. Hope that you recover very quickly.

    My bump is growing very well and I am currently at 16 weeks withs no mishaps as of now. looking forward for the 20 week scan to know the gender so that I can start shopping.

    This month I may pot upto £150 as I am starting summer vacation in a weeks time and will save all the transport money and lunch money to work.

    Thanks for keeping us up together with your little one, Loveactually, look after each other :D and good luck with the £150 saving. Thank you for your thoughts.

    I'm so thrilled Jake had such a lovely time time in Switzerland, jakes-mum, though sorry to hear about the asthma attack, but then the air over there is so different so maybe the change back to air over here again was a bit of a trigger.

    -x_raphael_xx, could you please add your SPC No to your siggy for me please?

    Thanks a lot for letting members know about the offer, Lynsey, a gold star for you. :staradmin

    Good to hear from you, xcarlyx, lovely to know you're sticking to saving too! :wave:

    Ah, you'll get there, Helen, we've grown to expect good things of you - just as you do!! :j


    I'm so pleased you had a lovely time back home, mummytummy.

    Sorry, little_sweetie, I forgot to mention on Tuesday that I hope you both had a wonderful time away. Scotland was it..or Cornwall??


    BTW everyone: Please take note that next time I post I'll be changing us to a fresh home as we've exceeded the 5000 posts permitted, but the link through will be placed on here as normal so no one will have chance to lose us...not even jakes-mum!!! :rotfl:

    Have a GREAT weekend, folks, and NEVER stop saving!!!

    Sue x

    Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome.

    Thank you to Lyndsey for the link for the morries voucher yesterday, went with DH today and got £15 of free fruit and veg for us and £5 worth for my mum. With DH on his diet its been costing me a small fortune in fruit and salad for him so it was a bit of a god send :o I can't really complain about the cost as he's doing really well and has now lost a stone :j :j in 3 1/2 weeks which I think is brilliant :D Plus the kids will be very happy as I got them some strawberries, which I rarely do as they are so expensive :)

    DS has been to the docs about the asthma and now has an inhaler and one of those tubey things they have to blow into to register their lungs capacity or something :huh: been a long time since I had to deal with all this, ive forgotten what its all for :D Its certainly not dampening his excitement about going camping with the cadets tonight though . . .

    22p in the pot today, every little helps as they say

    Get better soon Sue-UU and will see you all on the new thread :D
