    I haven't been able to post as our internet and phone line went down last Friday and it's only just been fixed! But over the weekend I found a "pot" - a large piggy bank that a friend gave me when I was at university, so it must be nearly 30 years old! I then emptied out handbags and had a rummage around and found £7 which all went in! I'm still not out and about very much yet, which is good as I'm not spending much money (other than the weekly shop online) but I'm not getting change! So I've been trying to persuade DH to join in. He says he likes having change... so he's not letting me take it all but I have managed to sneak a few pounds from him!!

    The splendid piggy bank now has a new home in the dining room so hopefully that will keep us both encouraged!

    My husband gave me the £5 change from his football game last night. Had it been a note, I'd have put it in his wallet but it was 5 x £1 coins so in my pot it went! :)

    I have just booked a mini break to Italy for the end of March whilst watching Eastenders. I knew I could multi-task!!

    Thank You for your kind wishes Scotmum....Yesterday went REALLY well and I thoroughly enjoyed myself....was very very interesting....and I think I'll get a lot out of this Placement :)


    Not much to add....Am at another Placement this morning and then straight back home to do some Work from Home....so, not a very interesting day....but sometimes that can be a good thing!!


    Potted around £3 last night.... :D
