  • 1p potted, found on the carpet in a room we are stripping out, thought it wouldn't be a potting day so I am pleased even if it is only 1p!
    Let's get ready to bumble! :rotfl:

    OMG!! My ear popped! I can hear! :j :j :j and just as a lovely TMI image for all of you, a huge bit of wax fell out too :rotfl: :rotfl: Your all very welcome :D

    Now I have a bloomin cold though and have been sneezing all day grrr, you realise, come christmas when everyone else is suffering, i'll probably be the only one completely clear of all bugs :D

    A few pennies in the pot today, was a little bit naughty at c0-op as they were reducing down just before closing and I managed to get a pack of 2 'yum yum's' (iced doughnut type cakey things' for 16p so got them for DH and DD. OK not the best present for a man on a diet, but I thought as he's lost over 2 stone now and been very good these last 3 months, 1 little splurge wouldn't be the end of the world ;)

    Hi all
    Back from a day out in London to see the poppies at the Tower - if you get the chance do go and look, it's an amazing display and not finished until Armistice Day :)
    Potted some change and then got an urge to count up, so have bagged up quite a lot and will pay in £130 tomorrow :D
    Have decided to put my pottings into my ISA towards my pension :money:
    I know, boring but I've been doing the maths and I need to save every penny if I want to be able to retire someday :eek:

    Evening

    £4.47 potted today.

    Did you know you can buy those poppies Rosyq? You can order now but you won't receive it until the installation is removed.

    Another working week tomorrow. I hope it's better than last week.

    Glad you can hear now Jakes-Mum

    Another few pences in the pot after DH went and got my bread for me, can't remember how much :o

    Just went onto my water companies website as I was thinking about getting a water meter and found on their freebies water saving page that they were giving away timers for kids to help them brush their teeth for 2 minutes :D Got one for DD, so should now no longer have to listen too 'muuuuuuuuuuuum! how many minutes has it been now?'. I swear that child spends more time asking me how much longer, than she does actually brushing!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Afternoon all.

    Started the week off by potting 2 x £2's, 2 x 50p's and 3 x 20p's = £5.60.
    That's all the 20p's need and no more collecting them and only 1 more 50p to get.
    I'm aiming for around £25 again this week.

    Banked £130 today and updated siggy woo hoo!

    32b3in2013 yes I might do that. It's made me think though, I don't know any of my forebears that far back iyswim, that would have been involved in WW1. Which seems mad as it's only 100 years ago. I only know back as far as my grandparents on Dad's side. I should remedy that. I know my mum's family were subsistence farmers or in service, but I do wonder what dad's family did.

    Anyway - glad you're on the mend jakes-mum and hope the timer gadget works. Hope everyone's enjoying the sunshine
