    Half term means that I've been able to bank £20 worth of coins before the big count up. Little and often into the bank before two weeks on Thursday, although the majority of the money is in a large sealed pot. So, a total of £56 already banked :j :j Just off to change my signature...

    Heya folks I'm really sorry but maternity pay sucks and we have run very low on food / nappies so I have had to open my tins early as completely run out of money. Oh and guess who has been sent on a 4 hour work commute next week with fuel required (although I have been offered a job yesterday pending refrences - it's 3 miles away).

    I'll probably not pot anything else for a few weeks for that reason and so Sue-UU my new banked total is £429 for this year. I do have £20.70p in my sealed pot for next year (nothing t fill a money bag).

    I'll update my signaure to reflect this. Really sorry to bag up early - I tried not to!

    Hope all is well. I'm off to bed with a lemsip; we have a poorly bubba too :(

    PS not far off my target - not bad as I've been on materbity leave since Feb :)

    Evening Potterssssssssssssssss

    I'm in a right grumpy grouchy mood today, i've suffered with ear pain in my right ear on and off for about 3 years and i've now got it in my left ear for the first time and it really hurts! I'm hoping it will pass in a few days like the other side does but it's bloomin annoying as I can't sleep on it as the pain is all in my cartalidge :( No point going to the docs as they keep telling me I need to have my ears syringed (and nurse wont do it . . and keeps telling the doctor she wont as i've had a perforated eardrum before) for him to be able to see properly.

    Sue-UU I haven't forgotten you! just the above, making me feel meh!

    On the special teddy front, he is being kept a close eye on in case he does another runner, i'm not sure what we would have done if he hadn't have been found as madam would have had a major meltdown over it! She was only ok at the time because she knows 'mummy will find him and put him in bed with me', we have had a few late night mad dashes to mine by my parents because shes forgotten him and shes sleeping over! Haha, i'd love him to have his own passport :D

    Anyway, other than my moaning minnies, I have 2 x £2 coins to pot and a little bit of shrapnel. Now to suffer through the pain of washing my hair!

    Morning Everyone.... :)


    Well I had some bad news yesterday.....I'm now Diabetic....It hit me like a ton of bricks....BUT, I'm going to fight it....Lose a LOT of weight and get this sorted!! So maybe this is just the kick up the backside that I need!!


    I'm also moving this Weekend which I'm sort of looking forward to and feeling sad about all at the same time.....But it has to be done so there is nothing I can do about it....


    Jakes-Mum....I also have a little Stuffed Dog that I got for my 1st Birthday - I'm now 37 - and would be devastated if anything about to him!! Glad the Teddy was found.....and I'm so sorry to hear that you're not doing great healthwise...Hopefully it will be sorted soon xXx


    So tonight I'm managing to Pot 90p.....MUCH better than nothing!! :D:D:D xXx
