Can't believe it's been so long since I've posted, shamed to admit my potting has dwindled, not helped by the fact I've been on emergency tax has meant my wage has been less than in my old job but hopefully that'll be sorted next pay day! Anyone know if I'll get this as a lump sum or in my wages for the next few months?
It's great to see how well you're all doing and for those who've had challenging times you're in my thoughts. Since my last post so much has happened;
I passed my Masters and graduate the day after our grand pot openings! Started new job and had both HMIE (Scottish OFSTED) and Care Inspectorate in for inspections! My new local authority also agreed to let me to the headship course I got on before the job interview! Sadly tax situation has meant I've reached for the CC so tightening my belt before that goes too much awry! Off to see what's lurking in my purse for potting.LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50

Good evening
Thank you for the news on Sparky, Sue. Please send him and his wife my best wishes if he gets in contact again x
Good shopping Jakes-Mum. Just remember, superdry is stuff is all badly made and wonky seamed. I have no idea why kids like it, but it is very popular!!
70p potted today.
By the time opening day comes I will be unable to contain myself
Something has happened to my signature I think. There is the odd letter and loads of !!!!!!!!!!!s. It looks like all the vowels are being seempn as swear words :eek: or am I just seeing it wrong on the iPad?
