    There's been a family emergency tonight,
    my nans been taken to hospital and had to give my mum some
    change so I gave her £10 in coins.

    I'll have to put the total in my bank later on when I get it back,not worried about that though.

    Hope everything is ok with your Nan. Thinking of you.

    scotmumof3 - Thanks for your well wishes. Hope you OH gets better soon. I know a few people that this cough/bug has got it seems to be going on forever.


    DeafLeopard - Sending hugs. Hope everything is alright with your Nan.


    Sue - Thanks for the hugs. Thankfully my Mum has not caught it from me yet. Have had it now for nearly 2 weeks. She has enough to deal with at the moment with her own health problems.

    £4.68 potted in the last couple of days. I'll be opening up my pot & counting tonight, but I have tried to keep my signature reasonably up to date.

    Over £400 since I joined on the 26th August, that's just 3 months ago...if I keep it up then next year I should be able to clear £1600 :D

    Will post my total figure tonight.

    Amazing totals rolling in!

    Sue-UU - yes, I'm truly delighted with my total. :j I thought at the beginning of the challenge that I'd be lucky to get to £50, let alone just over double that. :j :j

    Potted already for the next challenge - £1.20 feeling very lonely at the bottom of my pot. :D
