Afternoon everybody

Thank you Sue-UU, you are so right, DS does know where we are when he needs us I'm really looking forward to the day when one of my children tells me I'm going to be a grandmother. Hopefully, it won't be too far in the future.......

Well done on your weight loss, DreamerHelen, you should be proud of yourself :j

In my potting news, I have £5.70 to add to my pot today :cool:

Ahh ty ladies re: DD, I have had a response from the council who are now talking to the local bobbies to see where they are re my complaint. Don't worry Sue, I know how to deal with people like that family On the plus side, DH and I have decided its time to start getting the kids out and about a bit at weekends and holidays to keep DD away from that situation so we are now planning trips out on weekends and hopefully a caravan holiday this easter hols

Potting news! Oooo a lovely bubbly jubbly £55 into the pots today :j £34 of which was £2 coins Pots happily fed

Sue-UU

Hello again all SPCers!!! :j I'm trusting you've all enjoyed the last day or so, if not that you'll enjoy the nest couple. More potting keeps on happening which is just great, some other members dropping by to say "hello" too which has to be good. Keep visiting us and being encouraged to save more often, you won't be sorry!! :dance: To all those of you who may be a little poorly or possibly low for any reason, I hope you soon feel so much better. Here are some loving family {{{hugs}}} to hopefully help you through.

Now £10's a change for you, Chutney, what can I say but...WELL DONE!!!! :j

For you also, Fairyfingers, so keep right on saving!!

£1.05 potted today. It would have been more but my office recently ran a voluntary exit scheme and now the people who wanted to go have started leaving so the cards are doing the rounds. I won't be contributing to all of them as I don't work with all of them (and 240 people are going!!) but i will contribute to the ones from my division. The first one is leaving next week and they will all be gone by 1 April.

Now, let me ge this right, 32b3, is that the job you were leaving the other day or...the one you looked forward to heading back to??! I sincerely hope it's the former as you sounded so happy about goig back. Whichever it is, I so hope your job stays secure and all will be well for you. All the best for all the others though and well done with your latest savings. :grinheart

Very well done, hummingbird, good to see you too!

You also, Cath, and keep it up!!! :cool:

Well, I guess at least you're honest, themstarrynights, but you've now potted a £1 AND will be potting some of your winnings as well, brilliant news!!!!! :j

There you go, Matt, that's a great saving! :T You're really getting back into the swing of things now and deserve to feel very proud. :cool:

Oh, I so hope your wishes come true, siju, DH & I have reaped so much pleasure from our 5 grand treasures. It'll be your time when the young'ns are ready! I suppose we can be patient until then! :rotfl:Well done wih your saving.

Oh, I don't doubt you for a minute, jakes-mum, and what a wonderful idea the caravan holiday is for you at Easter, not just your DD, but for you ALL as these things always affect us the entire family. Look ahead and get ready to thoroughly enjoy yourselves! :dance:

Not long now, folks, until the Wedding of our eldest Granddaughter :j and my is the time ever flying by! :dance: I'm so looking forward to it all, our Amy (DGS) is too of course. I'm finding it so hard to concentrate at times...who said it shows???!! :eek: Take care all.

It's the job I went back to Sue, but people are leaving from all over the dept. None of them were pushed though, they all choose to go.

I'll be back later with a potting update. I'm on a train on the way back from t'country and won't be home for a couple of hours

Edit- I'm back. £3.01 potted.

I'm sitting tight until tomorrow when I know that I can empty my purse for the end of the week. Currently got £30 and some pennies in there lurking and I've had them since Saturday!
I'm on call this week so no Friday night wine for me this week, I'm actually aiming for my fourth nsd in a row if I can include tomorrow. I've also started slimming world with a view to losing about a stone before I go on holiday next month so no wine will also help the waistline!

Hi all, I have been reading along but haven't felt up to posting lately.

Glad you enjoyed yourself Sue, at the Hen Party weekend. Sounds great. :beer:

Jakes-mum, I don't blame you for being angry, I hope Miss Lily is getting over it. Hugs to her and you.

Helen, well done on a brilliant weight loss. I do know how hard it is. :T

I've potted another lottery win of £2.20. Would have been nice if there'd been a couple more 00 on the end of it. :rotfl:
Also been potting any bits and pieces I've come across.

Hugs to all.

Afternoon all
Hope everyone is well
I rounded up and put £20 in my 1p challenge pot this morning as I'd not potted much else all week.

Lynsey

Evening all, hope all are well.
Some fantastic potting going on and nice to see.

DreamerHelen - well done with the weight loss. Losing pounds and saving pounds - what could be better. Nice to see you posting.

£10 added to my pot, so up to £210 now.
The dreaded Council Tax commences in a months time!! I'll try and save £60 - £70 before that starts!!

Have a great weekend and a great Mothering Sunday for all you Mothers. Be lucky.
