    Helloooo Potters :)

    Much better day here today. No wind, no power cuts and a lovely DRY sunny walkies with the dog this morning. A relief for us both, although in fairness to him, he doesn't care what the weather is along as it's not too hot! Not much chance of that at the moment ;)

    Just £2.20 for my little pot today :rotfl:

    Hi all! Potted €2 today! That'll be all for this week - OH still hasn't got paid which is more than annoying us at this stage. Just hope he gets paid soon!

    Hi Everyone


    Hope you're all warm and dry after that deluge of rain yesterday! It was biblical up north :eek: I was soaked coming home from works.


    I've not been posting much but still potting away. Managed to pot £5.50 last week. Hubby has joined in and is adding the odd 50p to the pot too :D

    My pot was getting a bit full so I emptied it out a bit by bagging up some things in the relevant values (like £20 in £1 coins etc) and turns out there's an extra £3.14 that I've forgotten to declare somewhere along the line so...

    Adding £3.14
