    £2.90 potted for me today. Hope everyone is feeling a bit better now. Had DS1 home for 2 weeks from the army and although he eats me out of house and home it's lovely to see him and we miss him when he goes back. DH and him got to spend quite a bit of time together this time as he is still off sick which was good. DH has his appointment in for the speech therapist and is hoping to get back to work after that so it could be just another couple of weeks :)

    Right, so it's been a long time since I was last on here, but as per my last message I have been quietly potting away. So much so that I filled my pot! Emptied it out and counted around £350!! There was about £43 that I couldn't bank due to not having sufficient numbers of each coin, so that went back into the pot.

    So that's £307 banked since starting 4.5 months ago. At this rate I'll be potting nearly £900 by the time the year is up. :D
  • Hiya all, have just looked in my purse and found £1.40 from the weekends spending, so it has gone in my pot (phew finally got some change). Thanks to Sue UU for your good luck message and wishing you all the best too, you have got a kind and lovely soul.
    Keeeep potting xxxx

    Feeling a bit bleugh today.The rest of the family is out,I feel a bit like Cinderalla:catching up on housework-a constant battle,trying to make our front room feel more like a bedroom instead of a doss-house icon_rolleyes.gif.As mentioned earlier,OH and I moved into front room so we could re-arrange our 3 bedrooms between the 4 kidlodites.But because it still gets used as a front room/tv room/play area,it has never felt like our own space.Hate this house just soooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much :(.

    Anyway,while sorting through boxes of stuff that have nowhere to go now that we don't have a bedroom :wall:,I found a pot of what looks like part-roadkill,part can't-find-my-purse-just-chuck-it-in-there.When I find excavate my pots,am going to pot the whole £32.99 :money:.

    Morning Everyone :)


    Well yesterday I went to the Harry Potter Studio's at Leavesden....I went there with my Family last Year but me and Mum decided to go again with no children....as much as we love them it's nice to be able to spend time reading the signs and really taking time to appreciate everything....It was AMAZING!!


    I have been off my Placements for the past 2 weeks and am now back this morning....I didn't want to get up this morning but I am up now....and I have 2 Bank Holidays to look forward to in May so all is not lost :D


    I have also figured out to do the pound key on my Laptop....with some help....It turns out that I was set to the USA Settings....but now have sorted that :)


    Anyway....When I got home yesterday I managed to Pot over £6....so I can't complain at that!! :D:D:D


    *Hugs* to Everyone that needs them....and Happy Monday!! xXx :)
