Afternoon Potters!!! :hello: I see you're all saving fantasically, never stop because come November you'll be ecstatic with all your potted cash!!
For all those of you who are a little poorly or maybe low for whatever reason, I hope you soon feel so very much better. Here are some {{{hugs}}} to hopefully help you through.
Oh dear, Frogletina, yes, I can imagine how mad you were with the exchange rate, I know I'd have been hopping too. Try not to think any more about it and concentrate on having a wonderful time as you so deserve it!! :j
Didn't do bad at all with the potting did I, 32b3, amaxing how much people throw away! Must get the courage up one day to count my "findings" pot up, it's so heavy though and has accumulated over the last couple of years.
A terrific time indeed, mrs-moneypenny, good luck with that peny challenge!Fairyfingers wrote: ȣ2.00 not much but been pre-occupied with fixing my poor sick laptop.
Good saving, Fairyfingers, but I really hope someone is able to help you sort your computer out. Fingers crossed for you.MrsC....tobe wrote: »Oh no it definitely doesn't belong to them. It was a couple of boxes of old paperwork of mine that I took out of the loft, sorted, recycled what I could then took the rest in for shredding as I don't have a shredder at home. The cash was in a couple of different envelopes. Glad I checked them all before I shredded the contents!
Forgive me, MrsC....tobe, I didn't mean to sound accusing and hope my post didn't come over too much as if I was.I can see exactly what you mean and what a blessing it was to come across it!!!! :j By golly, you're doing amazingly with your potting!
The weight of your pot will now spur you on even more, Dragon Lily, now £4.50 richer too!!!! :dance:
I hope you soon feel very much better, Louise, keep concentrating on your DH and his jangly pockets to help put a smile on your face!Evening potters, popping in for a quickie tonight. :eek:

oooh popping in for a quickie eh, Lynsey!! :rotfl:Nothing much I can add to that aside from - lovely to see you again.Brilliant saving and I so agree with your highlighted sentences.
Excellent saving, mrs-moneypenny!

Hellooooooooooo Pottersssssssssssssss
Sue - Glad you had a good time on your hen weekend, I never had one when I got married so always felt like I missed out a bit(especially as DH had a weekend in spain for his stag do!)
Was very pleased with my win and now have another £30 sat ready to be removed all earnt from free money
Am so worked up today, need to moan at someone or I won't bloomin sleep tonight. DD was picked on by a group of kids in the street who then went home and told their mother that SHE was picking on THEM! Their mother then proceeds to accost my child in the street and have a go at her for being a bully :mad:
I really do wonder at the mentality of some people, she's a little girl on her own, they were a group of 4 children, 2 of which are older than her and SHE'S able to pick on them all?? Its not the first time this has happened either so I lost my rag a bit and i've made a complaint about the entire family to the council :mad: I'm really wanting to ring the local bobbies and report the mother for verbally abusing my kid, but I don't know if repeatedly shouting at her, intimidating her and accusing her of being a bully comes under local constabulary or they would just forward me to the council under anti social behaviour? BUT I really am fuming!
Anyway, on a better note, £10 in the pot today which was 2 x 50p, 3 x £1 coins and 3 x £2 coins, shrapnel pot is now FULL! :j :jSPC No 002 SPC(3) £285/£250 (4) £519.84/£500 (5) £768.32/£500 (6) £911.30/£600 (7) £913.23/£600 (8) £1184.82/£750 (9) £2864.04/£750 (10) £3846.25/£1000 (11) £1779.72/£1000 (12) £1596.55/£1000 (13) £1534.70/£1000 (14) £775.60/£1000 (15) £700.20/£1000 (16) £2081.34/£1000 (17) £1691.15/£1000 (18) £225/£10000 -
