honey I'm sorry for your loss. I'll be thinking of you.

Have potted £2.55 today, and a bit of shrapnel yesterday.
Went into town today (Mum decided she needs a cool box to keep things in 'cos 2 fridges isn't enough :rotfl: ) and it was no worse than a normal Sunday which was a relief! Funnily enough, the shops haven't got many cool boxes in though - I was lucky to get a bag and ice pack thingies in Argos
Still made it in and out as fast as possible though

Cheers all

Got back from a 2 day trip and the housemate has moved out, found the keys on the bench and all the furniture gone... Was a bit of a shock. Now I am in a mad scramble to find a new housemate before Christmas will see how that goes.
On the bright side I am visiting family for a week on Tuesday so can be the daughter that eats all their food and save my money incase I need to cover all the rent.
Have potted a whole $5 this week and will have more once the puppy gets desexed tomorrow is it slightly evil of me that I am looking forward to him wearing the cone of shame?

Like carbootcrazy, I hope it wasn't your furniture? :eek:

Well,my kids might get some Christmas presents this year,after all :rotfl:.
With being in Oz for two weeks,then a couple of days recovering from jetlag,then getting back into work,I haven't had alot of time to shop.Have nicked out for a couple of quick trips,but nothing too substantial.
So,today,I got to go to the shops :j:j.
I had done lots of browsing online,and ordered a few things to collect.But also it gave me lots of ideas for pressies for the kids (because none of them will show me their letters to Santa!).
Now a big dent has been made in my Chrissy shopping.While the kids are out,I will spread everything out on the floor to see what everyone has got,who I still need to buy for.
Does anyone else do this: lay out the presents to make sure all the kids have the same-ish amount,AND try to make the piles look similar price-wise,even though most items my kids would have absolutely no idea how much each toy would cost.It is not that long ago,that everything in my 6yo's world cost 10p!:rotfl::rotfl:Also need to make sure there is enough for their stockings!

Potting-wise,Argos was the place buy £2 coins today.One Argos branch gave me two,another gave me one £2 coin.I am sticking to my resolution to save EVERY £2 coin that crosses me.Had to put them in a seperate part of my handbag so I didn't hand them over by accident.Paid for stuff with shrapnel instead :rotfl:.
Right,so ,have just potted all the coins from my purse after shopping today:
£2 coins x 3
£1 coins x 4
50p coin x 1
20p coins x10
assorted shrapnel,totalling £1.02.
So,total of £13.52.
(note to self,I also got around to posting the £20 I said I was about to pot the other night: the first of the £20 notes I had been paid extra by customers last week).

Managed £2 again today. I am getting into the habit of having a pound coin or two in my purse and feeling the urge to pot it/them.

Thats £5 in total today for me with my £3 lottery win :beer:
