    Not much potting this weekend - been out and about enjoying myself:D Potted £3.00 (£2 x 1, 50p x 2 - one 50p from my lovely hubby) over the past 2 days.

    Been gorgeous weather today and managed to pot (gardening that is:rotfl:) a few more flowers and some seeds. DH managed to borrow a huge pot (no pun intended) from our neighbour to pot up some Gladioli bulbs. Looking forward to see them grow as they are such flamboyant flowers!:)

    Hope everyone got a bit of the lovely sun - Lynnek hope your foot is healing and you are resting it. It's sounds really painful - ouch!!

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Evening all, a couple of glorious days here and the forecast for the rest of the week looks good. Gardening time at last!!

    lynnejk - hope that foot is a lot better. OUCH!! Take care.

    Potted a single £2 coin and a single £1 coin. Could be a lean week potting-wise, but hope to manage around £10. Trying not to spend much and be as frugal as possible. Too much stuff in the freezers to get rid of and it will only go down if I stop buying reduced bargains!!

    Enjoy the nice weather.

    Lynsey

    Managed to pot just over £2 today. DD has really got on board with this and even gave me some of her change to pot. I am sure she realises that the more there is in the pot on opening day the more chance she has of getting what she wants for Crimbo.

    Happy potting everyone

    Potted £11.89 of the sky rebate (as that's all the change I had!) and the £5 from a FB sale ages ago that I forgot to pot.

    Did manage to finally pull the £2 coin tin from its hiding place today so can now start filing it up again :D
