    Hello at last all you Sealed Potters!!!! :hello: It's so very good to be back with you! I've not fully recovered yet but by golly I feel a lot better now than I did when the fall happened. It all happened as a result of the epilepsy, I had a seizure and went flat down face first and was in a heck of a mess not least of all my face itself which was very badly bruised and battered. I have a broken finger and cracked ribs and generally made a mess of myself! All in a lifetime and at least I'm getting better now! :D Strangely that all happened at the end of a brilliant time away with my DD and her 2 DDs, but at least it didn't interfere with the break! :j Thank you ALL so very very much indeed for your kind messages, I so appreciate each and every one of them.
    I wish you all a wonderful Easter, thoroughly enjoy yourselves everyone!!

    For all those who are poorly or down for whatever reason, here are huge {{{{hugs}}}} and best wishes for you to help you feel better soon!



    Thank you so much for all that you've done, 32b3, I'm so pleased to have not had the worry about the thread, knowing it's left in safe hands which makes a hige difference! :kisses3:Just one thing 32b3, the answer to your own query...can you count the cut in half notes as double the amount.......NO!!!!!!!!! :naughty:

    I do hope your DD is feeling better, jakes-mum, or that she'll soon be helped with her anxiey.

    All best wishes to you also, Helen, ride through the stormy times as blue skies will surely follow on behind.


    Have a Wonderful Easter, folks. Keep feeding those pots well!!! :D

    Well, there was me thinking I was going to have nothing for the pot today, and then my brother finally paid me back another 20 quid he owed me and my beautiful Mumma swapped it for four lovely brand new fivers for the pot! So it's a whole giant lovely £20 potted for me today towards my £1,000 target for my Emergency Fund. Happy days :) xxx

    Why thank you, 32b - I went back through the posts since I rejoined this happy land a mere 10 days ago and according to my calculations I've potted a whole £59! I was already a woman on a mission but being back on here and encouraged by you lovely lot and having a target towards my Emergency Fund (which I really want to have in place before I buy my own home and I'm hoping to do that soon), I have taken it to new heights! So thank you for accepting me back into the fold and spurring on my saving!

    Nothing to pot today, however, but it's because nothing has been withdrawn or spent (having just had a relaxed day with family and the shops being closed!) So all good really! I hope you've all had a happy Easter with the special people in your lives :) xxx

    PS - I've also done some serious comping today in an attempt to boost all the funds, so hopefully will enjoy a few wins in the coming weeks! (Then comes the stress of trying to sell things - oh, why is it so difficult to make your millions!?) xxx

    Morning all
    Hope everyone had a good Easter, I've not been in for a couple of week but have still managed to pot £20 a week & put £500 in my overtime account.

    Get well vibes to you Sue, sorry to hear about your seizure and fall- it sounds really painful
    Hugs and good wishes to everyone and I hope you are all as well as can be.
