  • Evening everyone.

    Not been around for last few days as we had a tough weekend. It was my mums 60th birthday yesterday, and it was extremely hard without dad. We got though it and we got mum out for a meal on Saturday which was as nice as could be.

    Anyway I'm going to pot £5 when I go upstairs, it's left over from my weekly spending money.

    Evening all, hope all are well.

    The great potting continues, nice to see.
    Not much going on for myself the last few days as I'm hardly spending.
    Have potted 4 x £1 coins though.

    ....Ooooh Lynne, you sound freezing up there! Have plenty of these.:coffee:..... It looks as though it could even be affecting your brain leaving you a bit..shall we say...scatty!! :rotfl: Sorry to hear you should be on holiday, still perhaps you weren't meant to go, who knows. ;) Take care Lynne!!
    Hadn't thought about using the weather for my tendency towards being feather-brained. Problem is ....I'm like it all the time :rotfl: Holidays start in our house on 9th March ;)

    I am afraid I dropped of the potting wagon slightly and pulled £60 in notes out, as we are getting married in September and I decided to use the notes towards paying for some things. I am however going to be carrying on potting change and after September will resume potting notes until the opening date!
    Gosh - how exciting - a Wedding :dance: Don't forget to put the £60 used on your signature so it gets counted into the totals on 5th November ;)


    NSD today :) so it's a NCD also :(


    Hope you all have a terrific Tuesday

    Morning, potted a pound today that I dropped in the kitchen over the weekend and could I heck as find it, but found it today and it went straight into my pot. £2.50 going in the pot tomorrow as I bought a fairy dress from tescos which went through checkout at £4 (should have been £13.50), went on a local selling page for £6.50, being collected tomorrow.... profit.... boom in my pot. Love my holding pot, I had a tenner in it last week, had to use it for minor emergency but Iv replaced it, if it is still there next weekend its going in my potting pot!!

    Morning Lads and Lasses :D


    Still feeling a bit rough physically....but I'll get there....and today isn't as bad as I thought it was going to be....I thought I was due at Work at 7am this morning but I phoned yesterday to check my hours and they told me not to come in until 10am...so that gives me a bit of extra time this morning... :)


    Still haven't heard anything from the Hospital...blooming typical!! They said they would Call me yesterday but they didn't and I didn't have their number to call them as I was out all day yesterday....so hopefully I will hear something today, fingers crossed!!


    Am Potting £2.35 this morning....that feels good.... :D


    Love and Hugs to anyone that needs them....hope it's not too cold wherever you are this morning!! xXx :)

    3p road change from the last few days potted.


    Was unable to go to a temp job today due to the bus strike, no other way to get there so am not happy at losing the pay. Am hoping for other temp work this week.

    I would definitely pot the £5 off but only pot the extra £3 if I would have bought the cups at the original price.

    Go on Rosy, be honest, I'll bet a bob it's already in there! I would have done. Isn't that ever typical of our DH's! Mine's words would be "It's not worth making a fuss about", then he tells me of how he always checks the receipts though at T!!lstation as he'd soon tell em if they got it wrong!!!!!! :huh: Good for you with the cup offers.
    You're nearly right Sue - I wouldn't have bought the cups at £6 each but decided to pot the whole £8 I'd saved - then didn't have change so popped a tenner in! First note this year!
    Feels good :T
