    Happy New Year everyone.

    Nothing potted today, but drew months money out and that was all I've done, no shopping or anything so no change.

    Started clearing a few drawers but still didn't find any money, I think I've been in them before, ha ha!!

  • Hi everyone sorry I've been away (spent Christmas and new year in the bush with no service). Will have to catch up with everyone's posts. I managed to bring a large collection of coins home with me so they are now in the tin :)

  • Filled up with petrol today, almost on empty. Planned to spend exactly £40 (had 2 £20 notes), I'm a bit OCD like that, I spend ages at the pump squeezing the last little drops in to make it a nice round amount:o. Petrol must have decreased in price a heck of a lot because it only came to £37.10 and I couldn't get another drop in:eek:. So £2.90's worth of change has gone straight into the pot:j

    Also, found a £1 coin under the trollies at Morrisons this morning (I wasn't grovelling on my hands and knees just in case someone had dropped any, honest;)) so that's been potted too:j

    Oh,why not,carbootcrazy??:rotfl:
    A couple of years ago,when I started very serious roadkill-searching,I used to get on my hands and knees in shops,pretending I was picking up something I had dropped out of my purse.
    These days,because they have been so well trained,my 9- and 6-year olds lie on their tummies on shop floors,loking under display shelves,check out tills etc.Sometimes it gets so icon_redface.gif ,even I have to tell them to get up off the floor :rotfl:.

    Aww,thank you everyone for your lovely support on New Years Eve.I am feeling a bit better today.Everything is so higgledy-piggledy at the moment.Inlaws have been brilliant,kids have been good as gold,I am very lucky,really.I just don't like the chaotic state of the house at the moment-even though it has been like it since September!Just really getting to me at the moment.
    Hopefully (when I drag myself away from MSE),I will finish clearing out the kitchen this afternoon,then tomorrow I will start making sure kids are organised for school (full uniform and school bags in the right house,for example :eek:),on Monday our daily routine will start getting back to normal,with work/school etc
    Potting-wise (Sue-UU will be pleased :D),I have cleared all the coins out of my purse.New year,new broom 'n all that!
    So,have just potted £1 x 9,50p x 3,and £1.17 in smaller coins.Total £11.67.Very pleased with this.
    Happy New year,everyone.It is going to be a great year for us all!! :j:j
