    Hi all, I've potted a big load of cash from my purse ( uncounted ), 2 x lottery wins of £2.80 & £7.90 plus a bingo win of £27.50. Oops, nearly forgot the few pence roadkill from Llandudno last week. Very happy with that lot.

    Hope everyone is well.

    Good on you too for all the help you're giving TheDapster with regards Coeliac's, I might need it myself if our DD's results come back with her having it! She's suffered terribly with violent diarrhoea for a number of years; the last couple of years they though it was the MS, but she had an appt with a Gastroenterologist yesterday and he thought coeliacs...but fingers crossed it's not as she's suffering plenty as it is.

    As mad as it sounds, if she does have Coeliacs, the G/F diet should stop the diarrhoea and may also help with the fatigue (another symptom of both diseases) and I promise its really not as awful to deal with as non coeliacs like to make out. Its all second nature to me and you know i'll bombard your inbox with recipes for yorkshire puddings, cakes and biscuits so she doesn't have to miss out on all the yummy stuff (or pay a fortune to eat yummy stuff!)

    DH came home from the pub with over £8 in change in his pocket yesterday, I felt I should show him some love by saving him the embaressment of having his trousers fall down from all that weight :D so its in the tin :D:D

    I'm not liking it at all. If it wasn't for my VSP then i'd have given up long ago and gone back to counting. It's only because i know i'm going to have a certain amount from my VSP that's kept me going.

    Different ways work for different people i guess

    £3.92 into the pot today, leftover change from weekend and today's shopping. I was also excited about Newcastle United being around on Saturday and went to that game as a BCFC supporter, but will admit I was more excited by Newcastle :)

    Florence, If I'm honest I was probably more excited by Newcastle too - I feel a bit dirty!
    I was also excited to pick up 20p roadkill on the stroke of half time and then exactly 24 hours later pick up another 20p in Harrods (Well, I got my daughter to pick it up as I felt a bit embarassed picking up 20p in Harrods :) ). I MUST be the only person ever to have picked up 20p at Ashton Gate and then the same amount in Harrods 24 hour later - Anyway, it will go with this week's savings.

    Glad your VSP has kept you going, not that I'm at all bias, lol...
