    Thanks all for the birthday wishes. :T
    I'm still potting away but keep forgetting how much I put in. :o Think I potted about 76p yesterday.

    Where is LC2? Don't say she's forgotten us all! :eek:

    Hope Sparky and Mrs Sparky are well.

    Hugs to all.

    Friday gold coin purse collection £2 x 2 and 50 p x 3 = £5.50 potted. Belated birthday wishes to ModestyB and Jakes-Mum :)


    Sue-UU I got an Acer laptop from JL last Christmas. Very good laptop for what I need (I sometimes work from home). Very good price too just under £250! Thought it was a bargain and JL do tend to have good customer service.


    Hope everyone has a lovely bank holiday weekend.

    Well done, Hope, you're doing well...or will be so long as you stick to your cash - not card!!

    Jakes-mum, you've a way to go then before you catch me. I'm 60 today. My DD was 41 last Monday. Good week for birthdays innit! DH cooked me a smashing breakfast today and we had a bottle of 'champers' with it. (Not real champers, can't stand the stuff.)

    A VERY HAPPY 60th BIRTHDAY to you, Modesty!!! :bdaycake::bdaycake: What a way to begin the day, good on your hubby in helping it go off with a fizz! I'm saying nowt about my age, but my DD was 42 in February...make of that what you will! ;)

    Yes, sadly LC 2 forsakes us for most of the year, but she'll be back for Nov 5th!

    Good potting, Save Dosh, keep going well. :D

    Thank you so much for the advice, Dragon Lily! That sounds just the one for me as this one is a real pain and mostly fails to start at all. :( A gold star for you too for your very hind help, I really do appreciate it. :staradmin

    Have a fantastic BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND, SPCers! Enjoy the good weather as best you can! :j

    I've been Money Tipped!
    Morning all.

    Belated Birthday wishes to ModestyB and jakes-mum - hope you both enjoyed your day.

    Sue - best of luck with your laptop hunt. Thanks for the star.

    Potted 1 x £2 coin and 4 x £1 coins. Not a bad week.
    Cashback is in my account, so I need to convert £15 into coins and add later. Probably next week.

    Have a great Bank Holiday weekend, the weather doesn't look too bad.
    Triple roll-over tonight - be lucky.
