    Evening fellow potters. A busy day here, my oh has gone up north to do a bit more sorting of things which left me to take ds to the football and try and catch up on the jobs. Tomorrow I have the joy of a football tournament to endure (I mean support throughout). Only 80p in the pot today but still happy with that.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Evening all and it's nice to see just a glimmer of lighter evenings. Only a few minutes each day, but it's noticeable now.

    Helen - keep that chin up and sing:-
    "I get knocked down
    But I get up again
    You're never going to keep me down"

    Just a single £1 coin potted, but not too bad a week after all. Quite happy.

    JoJoC - freezers full keeps spending down and you can fill the gaps with reduced bargains and offers.

    little_sweetie - hope you sleep better tonight, but I know where you are coming from. I've been up at "Helen O'clock" quite a few times this year. What is going on??

    If you have a Lidl near you, check out those 49p (200g) bars of chocolate on offer (half-price ends tomorrow). The fruit and nut is delicious and I've been told it's virtually calorie free if you eat it slowly. :p

    Have potted a couple of lovely £2 coins and another £1 in change after our walk today. Got on the bus at Henley, tried to pay the fare, driver waved us on! We guessed his machine wasn't working! So very happy to pot the bus fare :D

    £1.48 potted today, 6p of that was roadkill.

    Went to the theatre today to see 'And then there were none'. Very good indeed. I was happy that it actually followed the book and not the films.

    Welcome to our new potters.

    Hugs to all. Keep warm.

    £5.46 potted, including two £2 coins.

    End of my week tomorrow - I have no plans to go out, so unless something comes up I will have more to declare tomorrow.
