Hiya everyone and a warm welcome returner ClaireS93Did you do anything to your ankle, Lynne, or d'you think it's simply a case of a very bad twist, bruising or whatever? Take care and look after those flowers; ooooh gorgeous, I can smell them from here.
DH gave me some change from his pocket as trousers going into wash - it was about £1.40 so put straight into my pot
Hope you all having a great week

Afternoon Everyone....
Another poorly one here I'm afraid....I don't know what on earth I have done but I have somehow pulled my back....I was doing some very gentle cleaning but somehow it got pulled...and it is absolute AGONY!!
BUT I am staying positive....I know it will get better....it just might be rough for a week or two....
I am a little worried about going out this Afternoon....but I have Therapy, something I need due to my Training and good Practice of being a Psychotherapist, and if I don't go and cancel at short notice then I have to pay the £50 anyway....and I'll be damned if I'm paying £50 for nothing....so I'm going to get there by hook or by crook....even if I have to crawl every damn step...LoL....
But today and tomorrow are light days so it should be a bit easier for me....tomorrow is particularly light - Just seeing a Client 20 minutes away from home tomorrow and then Work from home for the rest of the day...I can manage that
Anyway....enough of my waffling...LoL
I managed to Pot £3.75 yesterday which I was pleased about....It feels like the Potting is getting better each Week, which it needs to do....so I'm happy....
Today I have a fiver in my Wallet and I might well Pot that when I get home if I haven't spent any of it while I'm out...especially as my Client will pay me tomorrow so I'll have that to use for Food Shopping.
*Hugs* to anyone that needs them....Well Done Crimson for getting all that change to PotAnd *Special Hugs* to Lynne, hope you feel better soon...xXx
See you all later on xXx0 -
Evening all.
lynnejk - hope those colours fade quickly and the swelling goes down even quicker.
ClaireS93 - welcome back and good luck with your savings.
Helen - what are you like!! No more cleaning!! Seriously though, get well asap.
Potted 3 x £1 coins.

£5 potted for me today
I went into my local Boots today and they were selling off Ted Baker smellies for about 70% off, due to them changing the packaging, so stocked up on some body wash and lotions, 5 x 200ml bottles for £10SPC #23 - 2015 = £319.60 / 2016 = £315.50 / 2017 = £490.75 / 2018 = £295.50 / 2019 = £267

Money has been tight so I have been setting aside every penny in case I needed it, well payday is Monday and I don't need anything so I decided I would count it up and add it to the total now (keeping it separate until Monday just to be safe) and really shocked myself with how much is there. £30.66!!!!No more making the same mistakes!

Thanks Lynsey....I agree, no more cleaning!!
LoL...I wish!!
Well, just wanted to let you all know that I DID make it to Therapy...which was well worth it....and it even helped my back a little to walk, helped it be less stiff...so all in all that's a good thing...
Had to buy some Milk and a couple of bits on the way home though so no fiver to Pot...Just £1.10....but I can live with that...and will Pot it when it's not too painful to go and put it in the Pot...maybe when I get ready for bed
So all in all, although I'm still in pain it IS getting better and I AM staying positive....xXx0 -
