    Evening all - 48p potted tonight.

    Sue - I totally know what you mean about the eyebrows (although can assure you I never went for pink or other colours - just a darker brown to match my hair - eyebrows are oddly lighter)! On the first day they used to look scarily dark so would generally hide and then the next day they would be lovely!

    Lynnejk - wow, that was quite a find!

    hickles69 - have seen your baby is due end of march. Mine is due beginning of march. Am finding last minute purchases mounting up. Hope your well, I am very excited and just can't wait to meet my new little one!
    Trying for a super saving year :j:

    nothing potted today as never left the house however I did receive a nice cheque from the tax man. so that will be a chunk off my CC.
    2016 was both financially and emotionally. 2017 will be our year.

    Have a great day dreamer,

    Will have to come back and let us virtual world what "that" film was like.

    I want to know will it be worth the drive to go and see it, after my hip surgery I can't drive to far but will if it's worth the effort.

    Happy Friday :)

    Sold a few items at our WI sales table last night for £6. After the WI had their 10% cut I was left with £5.40 which I potted along with a £2 coin and 70p in change.

    Afternoon all.

    Some excellent potting going on, via potting, donations and great finds. Well done.

    What's this film you are all talking about?? Hubby has bought some duct tape, so it looks like we may be DIY'ing this weekend!! lol

    Potted 3 x £1 coins and off for another cheapie meal later, so hopefully a few more coins to pot.

    I laughed at the duct tape, comment as that fits in perfectly
