    Morning all.

    Sue - yes, fingers crossed for Thursday. Thursday is the best day for us, apart from Sat / Sun, but weekends can be much busier!! Weather forecast is predicted ok.
    Not going as far as Holy Island (Lindisfarne), although the crossing times would allow us to stay until approx 14.30pm. Next weeks crossing times are more favourable. Probably just as far as Seahouses and then down the coast - Beadnell, Craster, Warkworth, Amble etc.
    4 x £30's?? Week 2 of 4 and I'll get there. Relaxed run in after that. ;)

    Helen - Queen songs are much better, you're improving!! :p

    I love listening to my Queen albums, but can't stand my Prince ones!!


    Prince Philip and Prince Charles............................ just can't sing :D

    Potted 4 x £1 coins. More later. £17 left to find this week.

    LoL Sue....Sorry for the Christmas Songs....I'll try to do better!! :P :D Hope you and your Family are doing well....xXx :)


    Lynsey...Hmmmm, I'm not a huge fan of Prince either....like a couple of his Songs like "Purple Rain" and "You're The Most Beautiful Girl in the World" but that's about it....I was listening to Elton John and Pavarotti last night....is that even more of an improvement? ;)


    Only managed to Pot 60p yesterday...but still, it's MUCH better than nothing!! And I might even have a few quid to chuck in today....so we'll see how that goes.... :D

    Morning all and not that nice here today. See what tomorrow brings, or our planned trip will be delayed until the next good Thursday.

    Helen - Purple Rain is a great song. Elton John has done some classics and Pavarotti.................. well he was massive in Italy. In fact, massive in any country he went to (R.I.P). :p
    We both listen to Radio Gold quite a bit, especially when we can sit out in the garden. So, your turn to poke fun at me. lol

    If using spreadsheets makes you happy, Ruth, you go ahead and use one, anything like that does is good I'm sure.

    One? I have several on the go. I'm a little obsessed lol.

    On potting news I FOUND £1.50 ROADKILL!!!!!!!!! It was in a kids play area under one of the platforms so I felt a little bad but we were the only ones there so it didn't stop me pocketing it :D

    Had an amazing day yesterday with my niece and nephew home from Scotland for 2 weeks with their dad. He was kind enough to let me steal them for a whole day!!! I actually hardly spent any money at all!! Double bonus!!
