    GREAT-GRANNY is in the room!!

    Hi all, just to announce the birth of my second great grandchild, a boy named Oliver! As you can tell, I am ridiculously excited! :j He was 6lb 8 oz and so dinky!My family has grown from 4 dc's to 9 dgc's and 2 dggc, with their partners it makes for expensive b'days and x time.

    I couldn't manage any of this without my sealed pot....Sue-uu and all on this thread, thank you. :A

    Rosie and I took part in a Tudor event at Berkeley castle at the end of may, with the Deerhound club, most of the owners were in Tudor costume leading their hounds [costume for me next year!] We followed a scottish piper into the courtyard and later followed him out to a field where there was some racing.
    There were about 24 deerhounds in procession, a beautiful sight.
    Needless to say , Rosie, my hound, decided to roll in fox p*o :o and I drove home with all the windows open,about 20 miles!! :eek:

    Yes, I'm still feeding my pot,and give it a surreptitious shake every now and then....exciting!
    Love to all, keep potting,
    Caz
    Saving for another hound :j

    Congratulations Grandmasam! Lovely little babies, I love them but I couldn't eat a whole one lol.

    A bit more potting done this weekend. Bought DS a paddling pool a couple of weeks ago so I didn't feel guilty about potting the cash for a couple of his toys that I sold!

    I counted up last night that I have only got £35.61 to pot until I have completed the first penny savings challenge! Then I will be starting on round 2. Doubt I'll manage to complete it before opening date but I will give it a go!

  • Hi all and well done on all the potting going on

    Have been potting small amounts and still not keeping count. Looking forward to see how well I and others have done.

    Keep going everyone.

    A couple of days ago my DD,age 14,came home from school with a note for me to read and sign-I had recently paid for her to attend a school activity.The note was saying the activity turned out to be cheaper than school had expected,so there was £7.50 to be returned to me.Today I got the £7.50 back,so in the pot it is about to go :j.
