Hello there, all potters! I hope each one of you had a superb weekend, and now we've also got a looooovely week to look ahead to!!!!!!! :j If you're working then enjoy the evenings as much as is possible!

One of thoooose weeks then was it, 32b3, ah well, at least this one won't be so long work wise and you got Monday off!!! Great saving too!

Well done, Dragon Lily, keep potting away!

Glad to hear the funeral went as well as and was well attended Sue. Sorry to hear about your DD and hope she's soon rebounding a bit. Wouldn't her medical notes at the Dr include any childhood/teen infections such as chickenpox ??

Potted my weekly £10 today :j

Lx

Why didn't DD & I think of that, Lynne?!!! :undecided Though more importantly....why didn't the Neurologist think of that one!! They did take a blood test which would show whether she had or not and the results should be back this week. Many thanks btw.

Sorry to hear your DH doesn't get bank holidays, though I guess getting days in lieu means you can add them onto a holiday or at least have them when it suits you both. Nice work with the £10 potted!

Hugs sue, glad funeral went as well as it could and was well attended.
Is there a blood test you can have to see if you've had chicken pox?

Thank you mrs-moneypenny, and as I've said above to Lynne, yes, they are able to test the blood to tell and the results will tell us this week sometime, though why they couldn't have rung DD's Dr is beyond me! Ah well. Nice savings!

Hello there, skilly! Good to see you and know you're potting SO well, as if you wouldn't be! :cool:

Where have I been?? :huh: I can see you all missed me desperately

DS is about to take his GCSE science's in 3 weeks :eek: and is nowhere near prepared so i've spent the last 2 weeks making him tests, explaining what he doesnt understand etc. I've had to completely relearn all my GCSE science these last 2 weeks, but fear not, I now know that a food cycle can only hold 5 levels and what a Heterotroph is! Things that will no doubt stand me in good stead in my twilight years :rotfl:

Finally bought DD her first phone on friday, she has spent most of the weekend texting me where she is and various random questions as she's quite impressed with this new toy *rolls eyes* Still it means I can now allow her to roam out of our street and at £5 a month for 150 mins, 5000 texts and some data (plus the free phone!) I thought that was a bit of a bargain

Right I am currently crocheting a ripple blanket whilst cooking dinner so I will have to love you and leave you all, and try not to be a stranger for so long next time!

We missed you, jakes-mum??! :eek: Darned sure we did, it hasn't been THAT quiet on here since....the last time you were awol!! :rotfl: Seriously, we always miss folk when life keeps them busily entertained elsewhere. It's good to see you home again.

It sounds as though there's not a lot of difference between your DS and mine when he was younger; he always says that if it wasn't for me he would have failed!! I wish him every success with his exams and I hope he sails through them all!

Imagine your DD with a phone of her own?!! After all these years it doesn't seem possible, but it sounds as though you will at least be getting some peace of mind! :A

Do please let us have a gander at that ripple blanket when you've finished. I so want to do one but can't seem to get the time. Very well saved, you're doing so well!

So long as you're saving one way or another, Kim_13, then you're doing really well! Just maintain that work and the momentum!

So long as you're quiet and potting, getting-there-slowly, it must be a good job you're doing! Keep it going that way.

Brilliant potting, Lost!!!!! Don't ever stop! :j

Don't put your savings down, Selene, after all if you were to save £3.52 each week you'd be doing amazingly!!! :dance: Fact is though...what ever you can save is money that isn't wasted and will be so helpful come Christmas! Be happy with it!!

All in all it sounds as though you're doing yourself proud, tizzi13!! If you can save AND pay some off your CC regularly then - you're doing so well!!!! :T Stay proud and happy!

My very sincere condolences to you, Vicky, little wonder you're taking stock of life. We can't help but do so at such times. Your last line sums life up beautifully as that's what we should all be doing on a daily basis.

It seems as though you're teaching your little treasure some great habits, MrsC....tobe, and potting is the best - whether you wanted him to or not!!! :rotfl: Not to worry, at least you'll have a lovely surprise! So, your DH has a sporran eh? Keep checking it well!!

Yes, you must try harder, siju! You're welcome to the star, you deserved it.

SPLENDID NEWS Saver-upper!!!!!!!! I am so delighted for you, truly!!!!

£10.78p in the pot post shopping. I wish it had been more, but we can't do what's not possible. :grinheart

Have lovely week and particularly Tuesday, Potters! Keep giving those pots feasts......or tiddly bits!

Sue xx

no potting for me I just came to read :-)

I shall make sure I send you a piccy of the blanket when finished, its cot bed size wide and is about a foot long at the moment, not sure i'm liking my colour combo choice but I refuse to undo after the amount of times I undid it to get the first row correct :rotfl:

I know, DD a phone! :eek: I am sooooo not ready for all this :rotfl:

I did send you a pm, not sure if you've seen it or not, but its there when you got 2 mins

Ooooo Saver-Upper, its all getting exciting round your way isn't it you'll soon be moving back in :j :j

Well went to bingo with the mother again, did we win? . . . of course we didn't :rotfl: she decides again that I need to explain slot machines to her, puts £2 in and I win her £10, she is STILL non the wiser but is amazed by this machine that seems to like me so much :eek: told her 'do NOT put any money in these things unless I am there! You will get into trouble!!' she promised to stay away She did give me £3 of her winnings though so that went in the pot.

Also DD's after school club was cancelled last week so they refunded me £6 so potted that too along with a little bit of shrapnel from my purse, so very well fed pot today.

My avatar changed at my end!! :rotfl:

Nothing potted lately, although my Quidco balance has gone up so need to adjust that when I've worked out how much it was when I included it in this total.

Just seem to be going through a phase of parting with it rather than saving it. Been out for tea tonight, am also out Friday lunchtime and Friday evening which will include drinks (although hopefully that'll mean a couple of £2s to save. And anything I don't spend will go in the tin. That said, my 'spending' account is untouched since before payday (18th) and it's 2 weeks today till the next payday so unless I go completely insane I'm confident of not going mad although my overdraft has taken a bit of a hit this month and that's something I want to avoid next month with a view to our hols in June.
