I soo totally agree with the above ^^^.32b3in2013 wrote: »A bit of a random statement I know but here goes....
Just wanted to say that there is always someone somewhere that will listen. I am sure that none of us on here would judge anyone for what's happened in their past or what's going on now or what might happen in the future. If anyone gets to the stage where there is nowhere to turn, then please turn in the direction of one of us. I saw a report of something at work today and I just wanted to say this. It's not directed at anyone, it's directed at everyone xx
I potted the 32p change though!!

Crimson-addict - my first instinct when I saw how close you were was how to get £2.61 to you today seeing as I have no idea who you are, or where you live or your bank details. lol. Come onnnn, how close is that £1000???
I have been to SW and put on all the weight I have lost in the past 6 weeks so I celebrated my achievement :eek: with a kfc takeaway!!:cool:
1st Paragraph - We are such a caring group of women (with a wonderful sprinkling of men). I don't believe there is anyone active on this SPC thread that would not try to help if any complete stranger sent them a message asking. I have never known such caring people. I wish there was a way we could all teleport to the same location for a cup of tea and cake!
2nd Paragraph - I imagine if you were to somehow send me £2.61 i would want to do the same back for your pot and that would be almost the same as just taking it straight from my purse lol. I do however have £1.92 towards it now, change from the last few days. I will be keeping my eyes to the floor today for 69p roadkill. I might visit the vending machine every 30 minutes too to see if anyone had forgotten their change lol.
3rd Paragraph - well done on the weight loss so far. I am/was also trying and failing. Dieting seems to make me just eat constantly as i'm thinking about what i've eaten what i can eat etc. Instead, i have decided i'll eat what i like and just make sure i do more movement, not necessarily exercise but walk to a loo further away at work, kick a ball around for the pup with my OH rather than just watching and stuff like that. I have noticed some fatty parts on my body get a little smaller but i am too scared to jump on the scales yet haha.DreamerHelen wrote: »Aww, thank you Crimson hun....I will PM you if I need a natter....And I hope you are well too, sounds like things are going well for you.... xXx
Or if you're bored, if you get some good news, if something exciting happens and you want to share with whoever will listen lol. Any reason i'm here
I'm in such a good mood recently. We had an amazing day out yesterday, didn't really do anything special but it was just so relaxing to laugh so much.
On a potting front, i have 69p to go to reach the big 1K. I am determined to have that by the end of the day, even if i have to beg the OH!

Morning all and what a glorious one - even tops yesterday and that was good.
keza - congratulations and nice to see you posting.girlatplay wrote: »

You're not kidding and tbh, if it didn't get any warmer, I wouldn't complain. Lots of days like this will do and saves pennies not going abroad - that can wait until the autumn and winter. lol
Potted 4 x £1 coins.
Edit - crimson.addict - we must have crossed post, so missed that originally. Well done and looking forward to "popping that cork" once you've hit that GRAND. Remarkable savings .......................... Go Girl.
