lynnejk

Hiya and a warm welcome to the new peoples :hello:


Thanks Sue-UU for the understanding comments about the heating. I do feel a bit guilty but as the cold seizes me up I have to keep warm and it's been really cold this week.


BTW keep meaning to ask what the butterfly is on your avatar :huh:

Evening all - virtual hugs to all those needing them (I love hugs!!). £5.60 for the pot today, am now having to slide the coins in sideways which has to be a good sign that its NEARLY full.

Thanks - I love hugs too

Aw thanks jake's mum. I've got a tear something in my eye now. Hugs to you amiga.


Nothing else to pot today since earlier as an NSD but I've decided my smoking fund and my savings fund will go into my pot on opening day as we have just booked the flights and hotels for March 2015 holiday :j Had to do it early to get prices/flights I wanted - more later.


Hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday

EMMAP

Potted £1.88 over the course of the last few days. I'm also having to put coins in at odd angles to make them fit. Woo!

Helloooooooooooooo Pottersssssssssssss :wave:

Well its all going swimmingly in the jakes-mum household, DS is grounded, the doctor managed to prescribe me drops that have been discontinued (and the pharmacy didn't know until today and decided to wait for me to come pick them up before telling me) and the dryer decided that it wasn't going to have any heat!

On the plus side, upon tinkering with said dryer, we found a massive ball of fluff stuck in the vent and 8p, so massive ball of fluff into the bin, 8p into the pot and dryer now drying again :j

totally missed LoveActually's post about her baby being a girl, so contrats to you enjoy dressing her in pretty dresses as long as possible as they soon get their own ideas on fashion . . . (grumbles under breath about own DD who is currently walking round in boys jogging bottoms and a bright red minecraft tshirt as supposedly 'girls stuff is rubbish')

Ahh Lynnk, I have many hugs available, I shall happily hug you all again! *does another massive hugathon round the room and then runs out of door*

Another £4 for the pot today - woop - all in £'s - was tempted to swop them for smaller coins to fill the tin, but am going to play fair.

Girls stuff is rubbish I always head to the guys t-shirts in Primarni, as they are always more interesting than the girls. I love gamer and comic t-shirts (I'm currently sporting a ninja turtles tee )

A whopping £2.85 potted today and I'm just 17 pennies away from filling a bag and paying it into the bank. Aparently they won't weigh them anymore and will only accept full bags.

Omg! Had to drag DD away from the ninja turtles tshirts this afternoon at Mr T! Though she actually had her eye on a replica of raphaels crime fighting tools :eek: she opted in the end for a Syndrome disney infinity figure as bad guys are cool . . . I despair for her teen years!

If they don't weigh them how can they tell if you've genuinely filled them and are not a few coins short? They may not accept part-full bags, but they must still weigh them.

Another £3.82 in the pot for me today.

Sorry, what I meant is that they won't weigh say, 53p worth of pennies and £1.35 worth of 5ps that they used to do.
I remember going in with separated bags of coins of different amounts and the bank weighing them all and paying in whatever was in the bags.
