Morning Sue and fellow potters! :wave:
Potted a fabulous £9.05 yesterday - I love this challenge!! :j
Unlikely to pot anything today as it will be a NSD. DS has croup so plan is to stay home, keep warm and rest up for the night when he’s at his most miserable
Hope everyone else is adding to their pots and keeping the dreaded lurgy away. You know what they say - potting each day keeps the doctor away! :rotfl:Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.

A very Good Evening to Potters everywhere! :j I hope you've enjoyed your Thursday, and that tomorrow too will be a good one.
To all our members who are poorly or low in spirits, here's good wishes for you to get well soon. For now, love and {{{Hugs}}} from us all. :grinheart
Great potting 32b3, and you're right, there's some amazing potting going on by everyone! :dance: Even those who are having problems are still potting all they're able to!!!Choccygirl123 wrote: »Hi potters hope you're all ok. Sue - do you find your eczema gets worse at the time of year? My friend suffer worse and she thinks it's going from the hot to cold all the time.
I think I'd be inclined to agree with your friend, Choccygirl, the changes between cold and warm/hot certainly makes a difference. I'm also told by my Dr that foods play a part, or can do, hence me testing the dairy products, wheat and sugar out to see whether or not it makes a difference. Time will tell if it's those.
Very well done on completing the survey which has given you and your pot the boost it needed...you too!! :j
So, another chocoholic eh, Raggle! I'm not any longer but I always have it in mind NOT to have any at all or I'd be right back to wanting more and more!!
However, being as you did need to break into your note, you did an excellent job of potting the change!!!! :j So, you've finally solved the problem...use cash and when you've got the change - run home like the clappers and pot it!!!! :rotfl: Brilliant idea or....! :huh:
Aha, lucyhope, so you've now got us all thinking "what's she planning?!" :shocked: Oh, well we'll see.. some day. Great potting and now you're up and away again!! I really do hope you're able to achieve your goal!!
Oh siju! Fancy you having the gall to ask Lucy what her plans are??! :eek: Well you've done it now so...if she tells you and I'm not here then be sure to let me know!!!! :rotfl:
Great work with straightening your hubby out re the Sealed Pot rules, yours too!£2.78 is a heck of a step up from 7p, fantastic!!
Wow Vicky! You're going great guns and have every right to be feeling virtuous in potting all the cash saved from coffee and not going to Slimming World!! :A Another member with marvellous plans for her pot!!!!
I think the symptoms are a little more bearable now thanks, particularly during the night as I've now had 2 nearly full night's now!! Thanks a lot Vicky.
Oh your poor hubby, browneyed_girl, no wonder he's feeling miserable as it's a horrible cough that comes with it.I really hope he's soon feeling very much better.
You've certainly done well on the potting front though!!! BTW, I'll bear your addage in mind though I don't think I've heard about it before.
Nothing for me, but I look forward to the next time the pot grins at me when I pop something in it.Have a lovely evening and great Friday SPCers, and save well if possible!!Sue

I know you laughed at what you said, 32b3, but in all honesty I bet you will be a great asset to your friends in helping them be penny wise when they're shopping.
Brilliant savings too!!! :j Have a great weekend in your advisory capacity.:D:D

Lovely to see you, SSDD23, and don't worry about saving when you've been busy packing, most of us know exactly what that's like!Anyway, I'm so looking forward to seeing you back and saving!!:D
Welcome over to SPC 12, Charlies tribe!I understand what you're saying about the online shopping, but you did amazingly through SPC 11, and if you were only to get a half or a third of that this year then I'd still consider it much to be proud of!!! :dance: Do what you can - as we all do!
BTW, Please see the PM, thanks.
