    Hi Sue-UU! Can I join please?

    I'll be potting into my handsome fishy bank (like a piggy bank with fins) once I've relieved him of his current haul, which has been quietly amassing over the last couple of years or so. If he has more than £10 inside, I'll be happy! :D
    If it doesn't move, eBay it until it does

    Evening

    Thanks sue, we had a lovely meal. Remember i said my nieces and nephew refused to eat out on Christmas Day because nowhere has nanny's turkey stuffing? Well they are aged 20, 18 and 17. They should know better. We are all staying in anyway, so I suppose it saves me money!!

    £1.25 potted today.

    I have finished my giving tree present buying. The children were asked what they would like and the list was so sad. Their limit was £20 and one of them choose something for £4 :( There were over 200 children on the list. I wish I could buy them all what they wanted.

    Keep positive dreamerhelen xx

    Oh bless those poor little treasures, 32b3, it makes your heart almost weep for them. :( Still, I still say that I bet someone sees to it that none of them go without!! :D Ooooh I'd love to be there on Christmas Day with a sack of presents.

    Moving swiftly on: I'm so pleased you had a lovely time and enjoyed yourselves. What a chuckle I had about your Nephews!! :rotfl: Would you believe it of lads THAT age! Still, they do say inside every grown man is a little boy trying to get out.....my DH is still trying hard and we've been wed nearly 43 years!!!!! :eek:
    Enjoy your evening, potters, and a good Thursday.

    Hi everyone. I lent someone at work some cash for a butty which they gave me back today in a £2 coin. And I resisted spending it on tea :) Potted x

    I thought I'd already read up to page 13 but just working my way back through the thread and realised I hadn't.....so read it all now and found Sparky's post. Welcome back Sparky. Glad to see you back on the thread and the best of wishes to you and Mrs S :grouphug: (never quite sure if this is a dodgy smiley or not!! It's not meant to be :D)
