jimmy*c

A modest first pot for me - Put the change in my car into the pot, totalling a nice £7.84 Also 3p *i believe the term is* roadkill found today, which also found its way into my pot!

Thanks for the support.

They family are just super laid back and take very little seriously.

I have had another hunt for then tonight but nope can't find them.

I have no where else to look.

The other half is amends he's not playing packs and says that they will turn up.... grrrr

well done on the roadkill jimmy*c - hope its the first of many! I haven't had much luck with it and fear the roadkill days are over - I have been to get my first pair of varifocal glasses, and haven't quite worked out how to see out of them yet - I was trying to do a bit of roadkill scouring this morning and nearly killed myself, so short-term, my life is more valuable . Seriously hope I can see properly soon, I couldn't see my son on the bus and went chasing after a different child (it was the wrong bus as well ) Thanks for my lovely star SueUU, have just been to add it to the collection. It reminds me of the feeling I had when I was in the brownies and wanted to get all the badges - I love seeing my stars all in a lovely row - ah, simple pleasures eh? I am very happy to report another £4 for the tin (well I had to pull something out of the bag to be allowed to comment, and you know I like to chat.....) x

Evening all

£3 potted and 29p into my holding pot. Leaves me £5 until Saturday night.
I'm thinking that won't last as going to a charity evening at work on Friday. We're raising money for the local Air Ambulance, by walking on hot coals. :eek: I have raised £315 which with a target of £100 I think is pretty good. We also have a raffle, tombola and cake stand. Think I'm getting a little nervous now.

Evening


Are you actually walking on the hot coals ETO?? Good luck if so


Err, I didn't realise there was a 2 o'clock in the morning DreamerHelen, Are you sure your clock wasn't upside down and it was actually 8.30?? I am glad you now have a date for your procedure, and even glader (if that is a word!) that the blood tests were clear x


I have JUST got home from work, its been a longggg day. I started at 8 this morning. Perhaps I had me watch on upside down too lol


£6.20 potted tonight.


I hope everyone is well

Also thanks for my star. I ill add it to the other one - yeah it has a friend at last

Hi 32b3

Yes I am. :eek:

Thank you.

We have a two hour briefing beforehand, and it's 20 feet of walking on hot coals, apparently it's not actually walking on fire as they are reduced to embers, but are still like a million degrees. Actually just checked and it will be 400-600 degrees F.

30p added to the pot...

Good luck with the walking on coals and WELL DONE with raising all that money :T


Thanks a million Sue-UU - another shiny star for the collection :T


Found 25p in my coat pocket for the pot together with a £1 as had another NSD


Really awful weather up here atm and abso - bl**dy freezing cold. I have put on another jumper and now wearing two pairs of socks. Starting to resemble Michelin man :rotfl:


Hope you all have a thrifty Thursday

Roadkill is the correct term, jimmy*c, and very well done on the stash from the car!

YOU chatty, AlwaysHappy?! Never surely! :eek: I think you're right about roadkill as there's just none around lately, it's barely fair to us.

Try to get used to your varifocals in and around the home, they're easy once you've practised a bit. Look through the bottoms for close work, for anything else move your head up and down until you find the best area for what you're viewing.

Take a good look at your DS before he leaves home each morning - just to be on the safe side for when you see him next!

GREAT potting, ETO!!! Very best wishes for Saturday and....walking on coals! :eek: You certainly did well with the money you've raised, excellent work!! :T

Well done with your saving, 32b3, a lovely lot.

I'm pleased to hear all is well, Observer, it sounds as though it's time to really look forward to, especially at such a hectic time of year.
