    Sorry to hear it'll only be temporary, tatabubbly, any ideas where to from there or is it all up in there air?? I hope you had a smashing day with your little darling MJ yesterday...such a shame that vaccination's on it's way!! :( Thrilled to bits to hear you've enough for a house deposit, keep up the great saving and build it on up!!!!! :dance:

    A very Good Morning to you Sealed Potters!! :D Here's hoping you had a really good weekend. Ready for the week ahead?? Maybe not but I hope everyone has a good one.
    For all our members who have colds, viruses or are just not feeling good, here are some {{{{hugs}}}} and very best wishes for you to get well soon! :grinheart

    You're off to a great start, Miss D M, keep hard at your potting and you'll be soooo happy!! :D

    Hiya Caz! That was a wonderful picture you painted of Rosie playing in the frost .... exactly what our Jessie was doing, she loves it, especially sliding one side of her face then body across frosty grass and then rolling on her back, then off she goes again on the other side! She's not much of a runner and has never taken to running after a ball, you can almost see the speech bubble rising with "you must be joking!" Kids and dogs eh!! What a great find with the £1!!!! :j



    The decorations can go up just as soon as you're ready bubbs!!! Would you be willing to be the Fairy on the Tree?????!!!! :xmastree: We'll all give you a bunk up! :rotfl: Ooooops!!! Sorry you said declarations and there was me thinking you'd said decorations!

    NB Potters: I will be putting on the GRAND TOTAL just as soon as the majority have got back to let me know, sadly we always get stragglers, but they've usually forgotten as they've things going on in their lives; yes, maybe I am making excuses for them, but..... However, HD & I keep a running Total which is looking fairly good at the moment, so here's hoping we'll at least do as well as last year.....hopefully! Very often I've been unable to put it on until January, but I can promise that I WON'T be waiting that long this year and HOPE to give it out before Christmas!! :xmassmile Fingers crossed!

    I haven't a clue what you mean about the cycling, Saver-upper, and I certainly don't have the time to go looking for it, but beware that it's only the saving challenges which you can include in your SPC Total, anything which is regarded as sayings or investments can not be included!!
    BTW, I do so hope your friends behave themselves when coming to your 'new' home - keep any off of that comfy settee!!! :rotfl:

    You're doing brilliantly, swimminginaseaofdebt! I hope the meal was delicious!

    Oooh excellent savings, mrs-moneypenny!! A great advantage of only needing a small shop! Good Morning to you too! :D

    I'm sure they try teasing us Curly, never fully admitting that they too like to save but in a roundabout way. ;)

    A more restful day eh Chutney, getting ready for the next time!



    Of course it's possible, Florence, you've just proved that with your last haul. Stay focused and you'll make it!

    Don't worry Antomac, I could never recall when I last had a gold star, a little bit longer than you though.....maybe!:rotfl: PS. I'm still having problems getting members Targets on the first page, but won't give up for certain. It's a problem with MSE but I think I've a way in getting there.;) I'll put a message on just as soon as it's ok. Well done to your DD! Whatever she pots is going to stay with her when she's older! :dance: You're a wise Dad!

    Very well done, mumof3plusoh, in fact I'm proud of you! :T Stay strong.

    WOW!! :eek: That's amazing potting Thora!!!!! Still, if you'd taken it to spend and not done then....why wouldn't you save it instead!!!:j

    It's a pleasure di!! ;)

    You're another SPCer doing brilliantly, Littlefrugalcottage!!!! Keep it up whenever you're able! :D

    Heeeeelllllooooooo at last, Observer!!!!! :j ....and there was I thinking you'd left us...:( Ah, it's so good to see you on your fleeting visit, better than not at all!!! ;) See you over on SPC 9 to see what you've saved




    Have a super Monday, SPCers. Keep your pots well fed!!! :D

    Oooooh Thank You for my lovely new Shiny Star Sue...Much appreciated... :D

    I'm still doing okay...The 24th is the Funeral so I may not be doing so well on that day....but we'll all get through it I'm sure...and at least we can give Grandad a good send off and remember his Life with smiling and laughter.....and a few tears...

    This morning I'm going to Pot 70p....when I get off my lovely comfy Chair and go and put it in my Temporary Pot....I WILL get a new Pot...just not sure when at the moment....

    I hope everyone is doing well and staying safe and healthy....*Hugs* to anyone that needs them...I do like warm hugs....(Frozen Reference :D).... xXx :)

  • I am still potting. I put £2 in last night and will be potting £0.81 that I found on the top shelf of my food cupboard whilst I was looking for herbs.

  • Potting quietly away, DGS has discovered if he puts his hands to the other side of the coffee table he can lift his feet up and slide across it! Cue heart attack for Granny!!! He's started to pull himself up with the furniture, DGDs love him to bits and are enjoying showing him how to play with his toys (think they're enjoying that more than their own toys!) One of my sisters in law was admitted to Hospital at the weekend with Cellulitis, she was due to have brain surgery next week so that has had to be cancelled. That's the 5th time! 3 by them and twice by her for the same reason, worrying time for us all.
    Hope everyone's ok today xx
