    It's ok! We found DS :D he rang us at about 2:30 to say he was back and to come pick him up. He kindly brought me back a whole 10p from the £20 I gave him for pocket money . . . And that was only because it was in his trouser pocket and fell out in the washing machine! So in the pot it has gone ;) think he was crashing a bit from all the early starts, sweets and cans of coke he has had this week as we had a bit of attitude this evening, but now tucked up in bed and should be better tomorrow ;) not that he was tired . . . Honest! :D

    I can now go back to sleeping properly again, DH laughs at me, DS drives me to distraction when he's here but the moment he goes away I walk round like I'm looking for something and wake up repeatedly every night till he comes home :o, heaven knows what I'll be like when he moves out :eek:

    I know right, it's freezing!!!!! Almost made me buy some Minion socks earlier but I was strong!

    I think I've put a fair bit in lately, not sure how much.

    Echoing the bank holiday wishes, I'll be at work then it's off to bingo!

    Morning all, hope all are well.

    Not much potting going on here, but very little being spent after those Morries £5's.

    Anyway, potted £2.40.
    I will promise to pot £100 in September though and then I can start the final run in to get the coins I need for the bags (must get those bags!!).

    Enjoy the BH and keep those radiators OFF. :D
    (it has been on the cold side though at times!!).

    Morning all, £1.10 for the pot today, and am so far managing to avoid turning the heating on, though I have been tempted. Sat in my dressing gown last night - very chic!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Oooo am so tempted to put the heating on, but think DH might spontaneously combust if I did! What a horrible bank holiday, just icky and rainy and miserable!

    Am fed up today, im pretty sure I have a recurring ear infection as i've been getting excrutiating pain for 4-5 days every 2 weeks for 4 months now, am booked into the docs tomorrow morning as felt it might be time to get it checked but UGH! its so itchy!!! I want to stick cotton buds in there but I know i'll just make it worse, but its ITCHING!!!! I cant even rub the outside as all the pain is in the bone behind and the bumpy bit on the front.

    Anyway, enough whinging (im doing that alot this week :D) a lovely £1 in change in the pot today as DH's mate bought something off him and gave me a handful of change :j :j its getting hard to fit coins in!! NEED MORE CHANGE!!!

    Evening everyone Sorry not posted in what seems like forever - it's been a hectic time :)

    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and well wishes for my kitty Bella - unfortunately it was not good news - a secondary tumour in a lymph node - so we are now looking a palliative care for the old girl - but she is lapping it up - I am jumping to her every need and meow (bless) and trying to cherish our time left together xx
    Except I don't think she thinks she's ill - Just been treated as she should be finally by the house staff - well my OH! - well my hubby is staff to her - she doesn't really do men hehe

    I've been potting away in my absence from posting and the jellybaby is getting very heavy so hopefully it will give fat rewards come opening day :j:

    Going back to catch up on the posts now xx

    Evening

    £3.02 potted today.

    It has been pouring down all day long here. I did a 7.5k run this morning and had to go out and dry the car seat when I got back. I also had to wring out my clothes.

    I hope everyone is well
