Hi Cherry Burton, you don't have to ask to rejoin us, you keep your number and are a part of the group forever and ever and ever (or until you decide you don't want to be . . but lets be honest! who would ever want to leave? we rock) If you haven't done so already, could you pop your total from SPC8 on the SPC 8 thread so that Sue doesn't miss it off her sheet? thats where she checks for all our amazing totals
DH gave me a mahoosive fist full of change this morningpot well and truly fed
Also went out to dinner today and found a little restaurant that only serves chicken! OMG, we were in heaven! Best spit roasted chicken i've ever had, all freshly cooked not rubbish micro reheated stuff. Plus they gave me a £10 off card to use throughout january :j Go back I must! :rotfl:

Evening
oh dear Sue, sorry you got wet, I did too. I had to go and pick up a parcel from a local shop and I didn't want to put my brolly up because it would get wet. I wan't sure how big the parcel would be and I didn't want to have put a wet brolly in my bag if I could fit the parcel in a bag and therefore had to balance it!! There is logic in there somewhere
£3.15 potted today. Tomorrow the Christmas lunch season starts for me, I have two this week and two, next week before the actual christmas lunch on Christmas day. I should have some change to pot as I have to pay for all of the events!!
