    For some reason it wouldn't let me go to a new Line so we'll see if this is any better!! :)


    Ah yes, that works now....very strange!!


    This past Week has been pretty horrendous...both emotionally and physically....yesterday I felt awful....I think I had a Migraine starting and was feeling sick and dizzy....but actually I think it was more about stress than anything else....so I tried to take it easy yesterday....


    Then my Landline Phone broke...not quite sure what the problem is but I have an Engineer coming around today so fingers crossed he can fix it because without that I can't work!! So I'm keeping my fingers and my toes crossed!!


    Anyway....Managed to Pot a fiver yesterday Afternoon...which felt great... :D


    Right....better get up and start getting ready for my Placement...the final thing I have to do this Week...and then I'm basically off until next Thursday....well, off Placements and Clients...Not off Paid work unfortunately!! LoL :D


    Still Working on getting that Box locked up and thrown in the Thames....but I'm getting there slowly....


    Speak to you all later...May have something to Pot after some Food Shopping this Afternoon...xXx :)

    I have been paying into my SP but no idea how much is in there. My first tin is getting full though so because we havent got a bank near here when the tin is full I am going to swap the money a bit at a time for notes and put the notes in the tin. The change I can get through in asda. Thats the plan at least. I will still keep potting all my new change though.

    Hiya everyone :hello:


    Well done everyone on the potting again this week :T


    Sue-UU - hope things going okay for you and getting sorted (hugs)


    Well - I had a letter from the hospital today. Long story short in that when they re-checked my x-rays it appears I had a small chip fracture (break) in my foot. That explains why it's taking so long to improve :(


    Potted my weekly £7 and DH banked £51 for me today. I have amended my signature to show this.


    Hope you all have a super weekend

  • Sue UU - best of wishes to you and your family. Helen hugs, and best wishes to all the others who are feeling poorly. Not sure why I thought £500 was a good target - might be hard to attain, but I have rearranged my finances and anything left over from grocery challenge and my overflow pot, which I put £20 into each week (meals out, alcohol, clothes) - will go to potting if over the £100 float im hoping to keep. Have a lovely bank holiday weekend. Oh yes, just potted £11.30 - I have updated my signature.

    Morning all.

    lynnejk - hopefully they'll get that sorted now.

    Potted 7 x £1 coins and a single £2 coin = £9 and that's it for the week - it's been a fairly good potting week here and getting nearer and nearer that £500 mark (what I need for a "free" Xmas).

    Have a great Bank Holiday weekend.
