    Also, slightly off topic and a bit TMI for some so i'll use acronyms.

    Do any ladies on here make CPS's. I have been buying a few new ones recently trying to see what i like best and i figured i'd rather give the money to my fellow SPCers for their pots than complete strangers.

    Anyway, To celebrate my becoming debt free i am going to pot £10 tonight and whatever change i have!

    Excellent news Crimson.addict. Well done xx

    £1.95 potted today.

    I can't weigh my pot because I can't pick it up. It's behind some photo frames and I would have to lift it up and over them (or move the frames). It's too heavy to lift over them so I will wait until it is full before I move it and replace it with another one. It can live on the floor after that!!

    i hope everyone is well.

    Congrats Crimson Addict!

    MIL and FIL arrived safely and FIL walked in and handed me £92 in £1 coins £28 in £2 coins :eek: I kindly bagged up all the £1 coins bar the odd 2 to change at the bank for him and gave him £30 iin notes for all his £2 coins and the 2 x £1 coins, cos I'm nice like that :D so 14 x £2 coins in the £2 coin tin and 2 x £1 coins in the shrapnel tin (along with some loose change)

    Did make my coffee cake and there's only 1/4 of it left :eek: how rude! They should at least have worshipped it a bit first, made it a bit of a shrine or something :rotfl:

    What part of Spain would you like to move to??
    I'm not sure if I'd like to "emigrate" full time, but would consider 3 months at a time. Perhaps after Xmas and Jan - March inclusive??
    Possibly the Costa del Sol area for us, or maybe Tenerife??
    Good luck with your "plan".
    Lynsey


    I lived in Tenerife for four years. The expats out there call it 'Tene-grief'. The weather out there is not that good all year round, it can be really windy and it's very expensive. I have no desire to go back.


    We are looking at the Almeria corner - east of Malaga and south of Denia. Hoping to find a reasonably undeveloped village compared to some.
