Thanks for the tomato sauce tip with Rosie, hubby and I will definitely be trying it next time our Jessie rolls in anything foul.

Hello again all SPCers!!! :j Sorry I was unable to come on yesterday (my Birthday) as I'd planned - a fantastic day with the family, but it ended badly ailment wise, so no SPC.I hope you're all enjoying a lovely weekend and a truly wonderful Mothering Sunday too.
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 {{{hugs}}} to hopefully help you through.
Thanks for the reply, 32b3, I'm just so pleased that you're job is safe, especially as you love it so. Great savings btw!
Good luck with that £30, MrsC....tobe, the nsds too!I so hope your dog's ear infection is soon a great deal better.
Thanks Modesty, well done with the win, and much as jakes-mum says, there's always a listening ear and confidence to chat if you should need it, though I know you're well aware of that anyway. Hugs to you xxx
Great saving, mrs-moneypenny!!! I can tell you're out to do well which is marvellous! :j
You're still doing brilliantly, Lynsey, but I know what you mean with regards to the dreaded Council Tax commence - who doesn't!!!! :mad: Lovely to see you again. :grinheart
Well saved, 12 month challenge, and you're right - a very chilly weekend.
You mightn't be saving as much as you'd like, MrsShazbat, but you ARE still saving!!lynnejk wrote:I've had a not bad week. Today I won £10 on a free lottery and it's our wedding anniversary, so looking forward to going out for dinner at an Italian restaurant the morrow.
Also I'm now allowed to get officially excited about our up-coming holiday as we fly in a week. We will be away for two full weeks so hope to get some serious sunshine hours :j
I hope you and your DH had e very Happy Wedding Anniversary, Lynne!!!!!!! :bdaycake: I hope you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves! Well done on your Lottery win, and be sure to have a fabulous time when you both jet off for your holiday!!! :j
Poor little Lily, jakes-mum, I hope the optitians can sort her out and possibly sort out a pair of glasses that will bring the eyes 'together' so to speak; it sounds a little like the squint I had as a youngster.
There you are at last, Vicky, but at least you've still been saving so it's not all that bad.
Good savings, Debtfreedolly!
....you too, Westie, a very nice sum!!
Not forgetting you either, muppets!
Great potting, everyone, keep merrily stashing it away and you'll be well happy!Have a wonderful weekend, folks a splendid Mothering Sunday too....and pot all you can!! :dance:

Helloooooooooooooo Potty Mcpottersssssssssss
Happy Birthday Sue and GrandmaSam xxx
Happy Anniversary Lynne
Hope your feeling better DragonLily, keep yourself wrapped up warm, DH got flu before Christmas and the blasted thing has come back 3 times now! (still wont go and have his flu jab though :mad:)Poor little Lily, jakes-mum, I hope the optitians can sort her out and possibly sort out a pair of glasses that will bring the eyes 'together' so to speak; it sounds a little like the squint I had as a youngster.
The only thing they can do glasses wise is put a prism in the lens but the optitian doesn't want to do that unless absolutely necessary as if she does, the eye will just completely give up and she'll be stuck with glasses for the rest of her lifeso I think she's going to push for the hospital to explore every other option before she goes down that route. Her dad had a turn in his eye when he was a baby so optitian said its all his fault as basically its just down to genetics where her eye muscles are. Bloomin typical, I come from a long line of family members with eye problems that ALL could be sorted with glasses, and she gets her dads eyes *rolls glasses wearing but totally muscularly working eyes*
I shall just be thankful she didn't get inherit the actual turn in the eye as according to MIL, DH had to have a few operations to straighten his eye, and it was not nice to watch him go through it.
Do I have any money today? ummm, actually I don't know as i've left my purse in the kitchensooooooooo I shall declare 'unknown amount of money may or may not be going in the pot today' which officially makes this post on topic :rotfl:
