    oooh your dear lad is definitely doing so very well paying you back, jakes-mum, well done Jake. I really do hope you're soon feeling so very much better. It's horrible when you feel rough but aren't sure exactly why. Take good care of yourself and let these {{{hugs}}} help a little at least. :kisses3:

    Our DD has been feeling really rough lately, sadly it seems as though another MS relapse has taken over with her feet being so numb yet so painful, her hands in much the same state too. Hopefully, the Optic Neuritis won't come back in her left eye again.

    Happy new year. We were lucky enough to be given some money for Christmas which we have just spent in a large DIY store on bits for the house :eek: The change has gone in our pot :T

    A very safe, healthy and Happy New Year to you also, starnac! Good to hear you thought 'pot' with the change from shopping! DIY or any other, it's still great to pot! :j

    I take it the 'small' should have read gone onto read 'small one' with her/him picking up the 2p in the doorway, Dizzy Imp; whatever, well done with the spotting and potting! :D

    Another knitter then, Dragon Lily, good for you in getting some cheaper wool in the sales, even better in potting the change! A very safe, healthy and Happy New Year to you as well!

    Excellent planning ahead, 32b3, potting too....but of course! :j

    VERY well done with the £16 lottery win, findingmyfeet, and what a great gesture from your DH!! A very safe, healthy and Happy New Year to you as well!

    Thanks Sue sig is updated. This year I'm planning on finishing paying off my credit card and be debt free as well as saving. I get a feeling I will have a reason to save this year which will give me even more determination :-)

    I hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year :)

    OH and I have been away for eight days visiting family, so I have been saving up change in my purse. Emptied my purse this morning and have potted about £10, which included 3x £2 coins, 20p roadkill and some other shrapnel - I had a money box for Christmas so have started using that :D
    SPC #23 - 2015 = £319.60 / 2016 = £315.50 / 2017 = £490.75 / 2018 = £295.50 / 2019 = £267

    Nothing potted today as I haven't been anywhere to get any change or roadkill (not that I ever seem to find any roadkill). Just had a quiet day at home.

    No sounds of potting for me today, I have not felt right,

    I have spent most of the day asleep,

    Back to work Monday so hope to pot some then.

    Thanks Sue-UU, will do. Just seen that I've got a number :T

    Haven't potted anything as yet (for any challenge) as I haven't touched my purse since Tuesday, but I will get to it on Monday when I'm back at work (as that's probably the next time I'll leave the house)
