    Thanks everyone for a good old titter this evening - I've been grinning from ear to ear reading the thread!! We are off on our jollies tomorrow so I'm planning on getting to bed in a bit as I need to be up @4.30am for an early flight. Hope everyone has a fabulous weekend, whether its romance or raunch!! One of my work colleagues has committed to going to see a certain film 5 separate times with different friends (I don't think I have THAT many friends....) - hope she enjoys it the first time - its going to be an expensive couple of weeks paying to watch something with your eyes shut and fingers in your ears...... On a potting note, £8.70 winging its way to my pot!!
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!

    Evening

    29p potted today :D

    I know what you mean Sue, it the totally opposite for me though. I get twitchy if I stay away from London for more than a couple of hours :D

    I'm not going to see the film, films are too long, I can't sit still for longer than half an hour!!

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    Just 80p today to the pot, and that's because I went out tonight and spent £3.20 on a couple of drinks (last of the big spenders)

    I realised it was Friday, but totally forgot it was a "Black Friday", Friday the 13th. I'm normally aware of them, but although nothing seemed to go wrong, forgetting saved me worrying. lol

    AlwaysHappy - enjoy that holiday, you thoroughly deserve the break.

    We've eaten out three times this week and over the last three days!! Only pub meals and nothing expensive, but more than we normally do in a week and only three off the belt whilst on holiday.
    Should I really feel this guilty?? :o
    Vouchers played there part, so it probably wasn't that much more if we had eaten in (that's my argument anyway).
    Positive is a few extra coins for the pot.

    2 x £1 coins potted today.
    £2 wasted though, not a single number (again) on the lottery!!
