Hey All
Thank you for the well wishes.
Can't remember what I have and haven't shared but here goes:
- moved into my own place last week. Took 3 days in the end as mostly doing on my own and I was a bit wobbly falling a fall down the stairs earlier in the week oh and being 38 weeks pregnant.
- now 39 weeks and no sign of baby but I am going to slow down a bit now.
- for those of you who remember the thefts I had at the other house - no money ever returned and my rings that disappeared were proven not to be in the bedroom. I am still sure that the thief who stole from me in April and the boyfriend in the summer is the same who stole my rings in November.
- and as of 9am this morning I am completly debt free - paid off my car and saved myself nearly £700 in interest
Hope you are all ok and as per mypromise I am online that little bit more (well until baby is here....) - £2.03p to the pot.
Have a good weekend
Sorry to hear about your fall, I hope you are resting after working so hard during the move.
Not good that the money and rings have not been seen at all - but at least you seem to know who took them. Still worrying though.
I had to contact my bank today as there is an is an unknown visa payment on there. I have my bank card with me so I have no idea how the payment could have been made. Bank are looking into it.

Evening all.
hickles69 - you shouldn't be falling!! You should be resting and taking it easy. Well done on clearing that debt and saving some money doing so.
I remember your "Jeremy Kyle" sort of issues, sad it wasn't fully resolved. Take care and fingers crossed for a future little potter next week.
3 x £1 coins potted.
Grey clouds here, but no rain yet!!

Just like a [STRIKE]bad[/STRIKE] lovely penny, mention her name and up pops, jakes-mum! :j I'm so thrilled you & DH had such a lovely time, though it would have been nice if you'd let us know you were going so we could have shared some of the excitement. Next time maybe - please?

ahh sorry Sue, I did mention it before Christmas I think but I get a bit paranoid about announcing I'm going away on an open forum since my mum was burgled twice. I know it makes absolutely no sense as chances of A crook knowing me in real life and knowing this user name is me, is remote, mums burglaries have made me a bit over cautious. Did have an amazing time though

Jakes mum - where did you stay, what did you see, what did you buy
We stayed at te intercontinental just off Times Square in a beautiful room where they gave us complimentary cheese and wine as it was our first visit to new York
We saw a lot of shops lol, but we did go up top of the Rock and visit Central Park, plus I got to hug a seven foot tall minion in Toys R Us :rotfl:
Ooooo what didn't we buy! Sweets, vans stuff, super dry stuff, jeans, oh and most importantly, Rex from toy story as we can't get him over here and it was one of the last main characters DD was missing! She was very pleasedSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
Hi all! Hope the potting is going well.
What a crazy few weeks - had forgotten just how much babies feed. Loving it and Lucy is settling in well.
Just wanted to report £15 potted this week after shopping - woo hoo (well done to my budgeting DH).
Hickles69, take care - plenty of resting - can't wait to hear the baby news.
Will hopefully get back on to posting regularly soon.
Take care fellow potters :-) x xTrying for a super saving year :j:
