    Received some bad news yesterday. I lost my job. Been given a settlement agreement. So potting might slow down until I find another job. I do have another part time job to tied me over but bills need to be paid first.

    I'm so sorry to hear your news!! All the best in finding a new job x

    Sorry to hear about your redundancy, Woodster76. Hope you get another job soon :) Been made redundant 3 times myself. It seems to happen more often these days. :(

    Potted a lonely 50p today but every penny counts. My tin is getting nice and weighty now:j Love picking it up and feeling the weight:D

    Evening all and another nice day up here.

    Woodster76 - sorry to hear of the job loss. Hope it's a blessing in disguise and you find something better. Good luck.

    Helen - keep that chin up and remember, you are well ahead this year.

    Potted just a single £2 coin. Cashback not received yet!!
