    I'm going to New York Sue. Just for a couple of days but enough time to spend too much money :D. I'll probably open my tin the weekend before so I can pay the money into the bank and then pay for the dollars with my card. Well done on the huge £13.20 pottings :D

    Ah, I did wonder if it was NY, 32b3, but wasn't sure enough to say. No good telling you to enjoy yourself though as that's a certainty! Have a ball!:j

    Hi Ruth! So, yet another overlocker busting to get to grips with one, a good job Mummy bought one then. :happylove All the best with your new job...saving with it on monthly salaries too. I'm sure you'll find a way to save well. Thanks for the hugs for my DH, he's feeling a lot better today, limping yes, but not half as much pain!! :dance:

    I'm pleased your tests are over, Helen, and that you managed to at least drink until 11.30. I'm another who they have a job to drag blood from...or maybe it's me who, like money, doesn't like to part with it. :rotfl: Good for you with that saving, you're doing soooooooo well!!!
    Have potted 8p.

    Sue - Thanks regarding my savings. The tax rebate boosted my savings this year. Don't think I will be getting one next year due to the amount of temp work I have been getting this year. At least I am saving and it is going towards my bigger goal I want to achieve.

    Ah, I'd forgotten about the tax rebate, Kerry, but you've still done well all-round. I do so wish you well with your ultimate goal, knowing you, you'll get there and be chuffed to bits when it happens!!!! What an achievement eh! :j

    Well saved, scotmumof3.

    I'm absolutely positive that's what happens, Dragon Lily, in fact it's been the case ever since SPC was launched 8 years ago and I sincerely hope it stays that way so folk get as much as is possible. :j

    Have an amazing weekend, everyone, and keep filling those pots! :dance:

    Sue xx

    Potting a couple of pounds tonight. Getting excited now as there isn't long to go til we open the pots. DH thinks there will be about £400 but I think there is slightly more as I potted some notes he doesn't know about :D
