  • Potted 3 x£2 coins last night. This was money left from my £30 budget. Also found £1 coin down the side of the sofa the other night which I have also potted.

    All silver and coppers in a holding jar for now.

    :rotfl: I had to smile at that, Saver-upper, I can just imagine you having almost stuffed something in your pot to muffle the sounds! Talk about confessions of a silent potter. :rotfl:
    [Edit] Just phoned SSE and YES.......we're having our £300 plus refunded!!!!!!!!!! :j:j:j:j:jFantastic news! Many thanks to you, Saver-upper for that. A gold star for helping out for certain!!! :staradmin You too, jakes-mum!!! :staradmin


    Sue-UU,THAT is an inspired idea!!:j.I could stuff some tissues into the slot of my tin to muffle the drop!!:rotfl:
    And thank you for my star-I wasn't expecting that.I am thrilled for you,getting that much money back just for asking.I must phone up about my own £200-odd this week :o

    Don't think I've got anything to pot today.I haven't spent.

    Evening all. I potted but forgot what. Pfffft. I am a bit upset after my rings have gone from the tray next to my bed. Father in law has suggested birds flew in and took them. Mother in law suggested they rolled off under the bed. Pulled everything out but couldn't find. I took them off because my hands are swelling - never ever taken off before. I have run out of ideas and dining that like my money disappearing no one cares!

    Sorry just frustrated.

    Thar's a shame I hope your rings turn up.:(:(

    DD finally gave me the change she promised. 60p was worth waiting for:)

    I'm rooting for you, Frogletina, and really hope you get there!!! :j

    Thank you Sue-UU.

    All of my Christmas money for presents is put aside in envelopes (must start shopping for them soon) but I have bought a few presents already so there will be some money owed to me from the envelopes - I will pot that.

    It's all going so well.

    So sorry to hear that.

    I lost a spoon today, and I searched everywhere and eventually found it in a black sack in the dustbin.

    Do you keep a wastepaper bin in the bedroom? A long shot I know but maybe one to consider.
