    It's good to know you won't forget a photo for us later on, jakes-mum, I'm very interested as our DD who got married in March keeps on about having a baby, though her DH doesn't seem to want to rush. Marriage seems to have made her broody! :A

    Well just to say that MY DD was born 9 months and 3 weeks after our wedding so i'm seriously not one to give advice on the best time to have a baby :rotfl:

    Well i've managed to get my hands on 3 x £2 coins today so they are going in the pot at bedtime :D

    Morning Everyone.....

    I'm so sorry that I haven't been Posting....Real life has gotten in the way and I just about have time to keep up with the Thread that I run on here and that's pretty much it....I've been Working Full-Time Hours in my Paid Job, doing a Placement all day on a Monday and a Friday Morning, seeing Private Clients on a Friday Afternoon and have my own Therapy on a Wednesday Afternoon...Not to mention trying to go to the Gym on a Tuesday and Thursday Morning AND still have a tiny bit of time for myself!! LoL....I think I might be slightly run down as I currently have a cold (that's one of the reasons that I'm awake at nearly 3.30am on a Saturday morning!!)....

    I had to take out the Notes in my Pot...so I'm starting again...BUT, I'm going to take it as a positive that I had Notes in there in the first Place AND that I have plenty of time left to add LOTS more money in there for the rest of the Year.....Last Year I would have gotten really down about it....but not this Year!! :D

    Sue....It sounds like you have been going through the ringer :( I hope that the Day regarding MS is helpful for you and that you learn lots and can find things that will help your DD....We're all here for you if you need to talk.... xXx

    *Hugs* to anyone else that needs them....I'm sorry that I can't reply to everyone.....But I HAVE been reading.....and Celebrating the triumphs and feeling for the losses.....I am here in spirit even if I can't always Post....

    I HAVE been managing to Pot silver here and there.....so I'll get there.....Just got to keep on going and keep Potting.... xXx :)

    You read all you like, Westie, hopefully it'll encourage you to want to pot!

    I have been on annual leave for the last week, so I havent left the house for a week so that means no spending = no potting,

    Im back to the grindstone next week so I should hear the chink chink soon :-)

    Making a return to the forums after a long absence! I have realised that I don't find it very easy to save actual cash as I don't seem to use it that often! LOL. I seem to be doing better with saving into online accounts at the moment.

    Am I right in thinking that we can add all our various savings from different challenges when it comes to counting up day?

    I will read back a bit on the thread to see what everyone has been doing!

    Hi, I'm still going adding a few coins most days. I've no idea how much is in the tin now, although it feels quite heavy.

    THE EXTENSION IS FINALLY COMPLETED!!!:j:j
    Now starts the dusting and polishing of 6 month's worth of builders dust :eek::eek:.....Gonna be a long job :o.
    This afternoon I potted 8x £2 coins.
    Great news !! So pleased for you that you're nearly there :D
    Just wondering if it would be quicker and easier to 'dust' using a hoover - either an extension hose or one of those hand-held ones ?


    Pleased you sorted the chicken-pox thingy Sue. Did you get loads of useful info from the MS meeting ?


    Have potted my weekly £10 for last week :)


    Hope you all have a marvellous Monday

  • Hi Everyone :)

    I've been very broke and very stressed so haven't been keeping up with this thread or my potting :(
    My real estate took ages to find a new tenant and now are refusing to release the bond, even though I have already paid the fees they are claiming, so that will take at least another three weeks to resolve.
    I also had to turn down a good job as it would have meant adding an extra 2 1/2 years to my current university degree.
    Also my poor little car started to pack it in. I've managed to find the funds to fix him but all in all my finances took a hit.
    But now I am pack to potting and paying off my credit card with a vengeance :) positive thinking here (am now just hoping the puppy decides to stay out of mischief and the vets)
    I hope everyone else's potting and lives are good :)
    Number 495 :)

    Sorry to hear life's been rubbish lately Cat - hoping things start to get better soon :)

    I found 6p in my handbag, so potting that. Might have some more later as I've got to pop out this afternoon.

    Happy potting peeps x
