  • Another £2 added to the pot. Also some shrapnel added to the savings jars but not counting these until bagged up and added to terrimundi as they are small so fill quickly.

    Hope everyone has had a good weekend! Family party for me this weekend so lots of cake and cupcakes to finish off before the healthy eating can start (again) oops xx

    Hi everyone number 186 here, I have been putting any change in from my purse at the end of each week so its not much but I'm sure it will build up over the year. I have a jar that you can see into to, I think it was originally for cotton wool balls, but as it was empty and not used as that, I thought I could watch it fill it up with money!!! It will get banked when full so I can start again.

    :eek: MSE! I only said I was taking a few weeks break, not that I was leaving indefinitely! you didn't have to take my beloved SPC thread in protest! :rotfl: blumin eck, i'm not daring taking any more time off, I might come back and find the whole site gone! :eek: that would be like the end of my world!

    Well i'm back for my sporadic post, slowly sifting my way through the home problem, gotta keep plodding.

    Tomorrow is Miss Lilys 10th birthday (the big 1 0! ) i'm not ready! she's not allowed to be 10, I was not asked if this was ok! I tried telling her we just weren't going to celebrate birthdays this year so she would be 9 for another year but she told me I was silly :o presents are wrapped and ready for bringing down after her bedtime and I am preparing myself for the only day of the year that they are allowed to get me out of bed before 9am :o really not doing well health wise so the thought of my early morning wake up call is filling me with dread, but got to get up and see munchkins excitement :)

    Have been throwing all change I get my hands on in the pot, no idea ho much as its been very sporadic and rarely counted :o

    Hope everyone is well, hugs to all that are not and those that are, as lets be honest, everyone could do with a hug no matter how they feel so :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: :grouphug: for everyone :D

  • £5 potted from another sale, feels good to finally get under the stairs and make a little bit of money for things that have just been collecting dust.

    Have a wonderful day everyone
