    I know I havent got a number yet but when i get one can I set my target to £400 please?

    I finally got round to sealing up my pot today and counting up the bits and bobs I have lying round the new house (from various boxes that were hastily packed with random stuff by my very helpful friend) and the bits that were in the tin already so I am starting with £34.80. It may not be much but now I have set a target I am sure it will fill quickly.
    April GC 9th-7th may £0/£320

    Morning Everyone :)


    Well I am feeling LOADS better.....It might have something to do with the fact that I've been eating MUCH better or something to do with the Doctor upping my Thyroid Medication....not sure, but I'm definitely feeling better MUCH better....fingers crossed that it stays that way!!


    Merrylegs....I'm sooooooooo pleased to hear that you're much better health-wise and CONGRATULATIONS on being debt-free....That's both wonderful news!!


    I managed to Pot just over £3 yesterday....Not as good as I was Potting but it's a start....and I'm hoping to be able to Pot something tomorrow after Shopping....and hopefully be able to Pot at least a Fiver on Thursday :D


    Also, I'm off down to Cornwall on Friday for the Easter Weekend to see my Brother, Sister-in-Law and my five Nephews and Nieces....I can't wait to see them all and can't wait to have some time to rest and relax....although not sure there will be much relaxing to do with five children in the house :D


    See you all later xXx :)
