    Evening all.

    Managed to get 7 x £1 coins today (change from a tenner - no fivers) - so potted the lot. That's my £10 hit for the week, but I'll pot a few more coins.

    Wishes to those under the weather - glorious weather as it may be at the moment. Take care.

    Even 'Virus Infection' is better than 'its yet another symptom of your M.E', seriously, I could turn up with an arm missing and I swear it would somehow be M.E related! :o

    I take the Manuka for the M.E as it helps with the fatigue, tummy issues, and stops my weight plummeting, but I have found that about 1/2 hr after taking it the sore throat goes for a good 4 hrs and then returns with the much loved headache early afternoon. Doesn't seem to stop the cough, though it could be making it less frequent, I can't tell as I always take it. Thinking about it, I do cough more in the afternoon and evening than the morning, so maybe it is helping :o

    I have my quidco set up to pay me when I request it rather than automatically as I found I was getting lots of tiny payments that got lost in the bank account. It cleared into my bank today :D

  • Hiya all
    A few coppers potted this week, at least though if I have nothing to pot it means I am spending less (hope that shows in my overdraft at the end of the month). Sue UU am sending you all my best wishes, and hope all will be settled soon. Take care of yourself aswell as those around you.
    Xxxx
