    Ah, Cazzie. Thanks. Yes, Cazzie's Crusade sounds absolutely perfect! The young royals are doing amazing things for mental health. Much love to you.

    Thanks Sue too. Your kind thoughts really do mean an awful lot - in fact everyone who pots on here.

    Anyway, back to potting. DH slipped up the other day and had £2.15 lying around including a £2 coin!!!! Ooooooh yes. Other potting also done - mainly silver bits. :)

    You've convinced me - Cazzie's Crusade shall be born! (Once I've sorted out my stupid brain!) I hope today was one of your good days :) And excellent potting - nice to hear of one poor £2 coin being saved from a terrible till-based fate at least! :D xxx

    Well, I'm glad someone got some pot-able change today! I should think so too after no freebies and then no wins! I'm loving all your holiday planning too - every so often I'll browse a cruise website, usually when I've had a terrible day and could really use a laugh! You're right though, be a shame to waste those ESTAs, after passing all those tough questions on whether you're safe to be let in!

    You know you wanna get those trainers on, 32b, me and jakes-mum will cheer you on all the way from our bingo seats! I might even twizzle a glowstick around my bingo dabber and wave it in the air as you turn the corner towards Buckingham Palace for your big finish ;) xxx

    Oh OK then, I will start my training tomorrow and I will see you and Jakes-Mum at the finish line next year :D

    Great news! I'll go get the glowsticks! (But for the love of God, there had better be some pot money in my change!)

    Great potting, potters! I agree, I think we are on for a record-breaking year indeed! Yay! :D xxx

    Wahoo! The mothership owed me a few pennies, and as she knows what's good for her, she's only gone and paid me back with a beautiful, plasticky, potty fiver! She's always been a very sensible woman (not a trait I inherited sadly, I'm more the neurotic type as you may have gathered...!)

    Off I go to feed the pot! Happy days! :D

    I also received today the princely sum of £6.20 as a refund from a budget airline that left us stranded for two days on a little island in the Irish Sea. If anyone wants me, I'll be in my room looking into investment options ;) xxx

    A bit wobbly, but onwards and upwards eh?! I'm sure things would be better if I had more £2 coins. :rotfl:

    More silver coins potted. Not sure how much, but it's better than nothing. :j :j

    Onwards and upwards indeed. I've had a wobbly few days but being back on this board has really lifted my spirits :) Even though it sucks beyond belief to think of others suffering as I do, it brings a comfort to know you are not alone and that other people understand.

    I would be fully open to participating in a study to see if having more £2 coins lifted my mood! In the interests of science, obviously! :D xxx

    Yoo hoo potters :wave:

    Struggling a bit at present - awful couple of months which has messed me up rather, but hoping the future is orange.

    I have been stashing away egg sales money and have just potted my first new £1 coin, which I hadn't noticed as I think they aren't too different from the old ones...it was a bit shiny, which my magpie eyes spotted :)

    Off to catch up on some if the news....apologies for my absence and hugs to everyone xxx
