Morning Everyone....Am dreadfully suffering with Hayfever at the moment....it's AWFUL!!!I can't take tablets as they react badly with some other regular Medication that I take, so I try to use some natural stuff....sometimes it works...sometimes it doesn't!! Personally (don't hate me everyone) but I'm longing for Winter....I am a Winter Baby (born in January) and so I guess that's why I've always loved Winter....I mean, you get Halloween followed by Fireworks Night followed by Christmas followed by my Birthday....what could be better????
(I'll get my coat now....LoL)
Managed to Pot some silver yesterday....It's going to be a lean Week this Week....but that's okay....maybe next Week will be better
*Hugs* to EVERYONE that needs them and speak to you all later on xXx
I also suffer terribly with hayfever. My meds are 12 x the dose of over the counter stuff lol. I also use a nasal spray and eye drops, would something like that work for you maybe? Seems as those aren't something that go into your system like tablets do.No more making the same mistakes!

Love it. lol
Made me chuckle anyway.
Thanks for all the support, any you just never know. It will mean making targets though and I've enjoyed the more relaxed saving this year.
Potted 2 x £2 coins and 4 x £1 coins = £8. That's it for the week and anything else will go towards next week.
Have a great weekend and pot as much as you can.

Sue-UU, maybe I should take Sparky to the bank with me on November 5th :rotfl:
Nothing potted today. Suffering from horrible hay fever so in bedIt only first developed last year and was very mild then so I didn't take anything for it, think I may have to this year though. What brands do you all recommend?

Ooh another loverly *star* to add to my collection - thank you Sue-UU and sending all my best wishes.
Potted my weekly £7 and also 5p that I 'found' whilst sorting out the what-not pot on my desk - you know - one of those 'holding' pots where you put all the odds and sods that have a home but you're too lazy to put them away now :rotfl:
Hope you all have a super weekend

Still here, potting away. Not as much as I'd wanted in May, we had to take the cat to the vet, she's an old lady (16), we honestly thought she had a growth on her gum and we wouldn't be bringing her home. Imagine my embarrasment when the vet found hair round her tooth and gums!! First consultation was free, it's a new vet that's opened, but she recommended a scale and polish that was going to cost £200!!! I'll never moan about the cost as the dentist again. Puss has forgiven me for putting her in the travelling basket finally.
DD2 has had her first scan, only 1 baby to her relief, her DH is a twin, his dad is a twin and her grandma on her dad's side was a twin. Baby is due on 23rd December and they've decided they don't want to know whether it's a boy or girl until it arrives.
A significant birthday for me tomorrow (60)don't know what the family have planned, I just hope it's not a party, I'm not a misery, just don't like being the centre of attention.
Hope everyone's having a good day.Sealed Pot Challenge member 28
