    Hello awesome, Potters! I hope you all had a brilliant Easter and really enjoyed yourselves! THANK YOU so much for the very kind greetings, the hugs too, and yes, I could feel them ALL!! At present my health has had a knock-on affect due to our DD being quite poorly, she's had tests and awaiting the diagnosis (NOT cancer, thank Heavens!), so we need to be patient. Here are more {{{hugs}}} to all those unwell or not up to par, be patient and kind to yourself, hopefully things will sort themselves out soon.

    Good luck in knitting the socks, Dragon Lily, but isn't it possible to try to get more from your "middle man"? Even an "I'm not sure whether I'm going to continue doing them" might just spur them to think they shouldn't be taking quite so much from you. ;)

    So, after your little moan about the weather last week, Lynsey, .......the sun came out!! So, if it's not good in future you know what to do. :j BTW, frugal shopping has it's downfalls when trying to stock up on bargains as I know too! :(


    I hope you're having a wonderful time, Vicky, you should be with this fine spell.....

    ....you too, Westie, and anyone else on holiday - have a GREAT time!
    Sue-u u can I change my years target to £350 please?

    Certainly Daddybear, in fact it's all sorted now, so good luck with getting there!

    You're doing well, eveie, keep up the great work. :D

    I haven't been around much lately- decorating my son's bedroom and the baby's room has taken over my house, my evenings and weekends, and pretty much just life!

    I hope it all worked as great therapy for you, JoJo, hard work but so worth it after it's done. :dance:


    It's soooo good to see you dropping in, Meowhouse, I know what you mean about life - but we have to live it, so keep doing so!!

    Oooooo Lynne, your foot sounds so very painful. Are you sure you didn't ought to have it looked at just in case something's broken? If not the regular cold compresses and rest will definitely help. Take great care of yourself and have these big {{{hugs}}}.

    Excellent saving from you, Lost, fantastic work!! :j

    It's wonderful to hear you're really enjoying yourself, Helen.

    Be careful your DGD1 isn't set on overtaking you where cash is concerned, Lucy! :cool:


    Marvellous news about your shares windfall, jakes-mum!! :j

    £90 and £50 from me over the last week or so, total £140

    That's some excellent potting, BFF, stay focused!

    Very Many Congratulations to you and baby Jack, Hicksy!!!!! :A I hope you both get on really well, Dad too! At least now you can go back to your own home!

    WELL DONE, Rosy!



    Enjoy another beautiful day, everyone, and never forget to save - no matter how big or small the amount, every little bit helps!

    Aww another SPC baby :D Congratulations Hickles.

    The other £20 of the sky refund was changed up to £2 coins and has left very little room in the £2 coin tin when deposited! i'm now having to slide them in sideways :eek:

    Also had a £2 coin given to me in my change so a total of 11 £2 coins in the tin today :D

    Mr W very kindly send me 3 x £8 off £40 spend vouchers so DH and I toddled down there today and bought 14 x 9 packs of bog roll :rotfl: I was really missing my bog roll stash, unfortunately we now can't fit Georges cage in the cupboard for his bedtime anymore :o

    Have now got 40 items up on fleabay after a mamouth rummage and many hours dedicated to listing it all, just hope some of it sells! One day I will manage to list the entire 100 free listings! ah to have a dream :rotfl:

    Potted £3.00 today and a £1 yesterday = £4

    Big congratulations, Hickles on having baby, Jack:T

    Re knitting - Unfortunately Sue, 40% seems to be the going rate :( I checked out a couple of other shops. Oh well, I'll have to charge a little more than I would at a craft market.

    Congratulations Hickles!

    Potted just a small amount of change left over from a lovely Easter break away with friends. It's going to be a bit of a pricey week this week- I'm out with friends again tomorrow & on Thursday the cat is going in for dental work...seems to cost such a lot for a relatively basic/routine treatment!
    Hope your foot is better now Lynn.

    Sorry for not posting lately. Potting is going well but I do not keep a total. A few notes have found their way into the pot ready to pay for Disney land Paris in Nov with dgd.
