  • Sue I didn't even count my pot from last years challenge so will just carry on from where I left off. Pot number 100

    My darling husband was diagnosed with cancer in August last year and it stole him from me two weeks ago I've not posted anywhere since we found out he was il as we just needed to concentrate on each other. I now have to plan his funeral and learn to cope alone.

    Hello Sealed Potters! :D So sorry not to have been with you for a few days, but I've not been well. For those who know me, I have epilepsy which sometimes I can manage alright with, but I've just had a really nasty bout leaving me just wanting to sleep, so that's what I've done! Hubby is fantastic and always sees to everything whilst I'm a little out of sorts. Anyway, I'm back with you all now and I hope you're all well... potting too naturally.


    For those who are not well or who are low in spirits, take great care of yourselves. Get well soon and {{{{hugs}}}} from all the SPC family. :grinheart


    Oh mrs-moneypenny, I'm so terribly sorry to hear about your dear Husband. What a shock his illness must have been to you, my heart goes out to you. I wish you very best wishes possible in planning for and getting through his funeral. I can't remember how much family you have, but do let them help you in somehow gradually getting on with life again. You will be in my thoughts and prayers, and if you ever need to talk, please remember I'm only a PM away. Meanwhile, allow yourself to grieve fully as it does more harm than good in bottling. Take very good care of yourself.


    Oooops! Sorry Kerfuffle, I haven't a clue what made me think you were near Prince George as you're anything but!! I'll put it down to a premature senior moment ;)

    I love gales though I'm always mindful of the damage and harm they can do. Have you let go of that cuppa yet?! Good potting!


    Great potting, 3forholidays!!! Another very good £8 saved too!!!:D


    That's such a shame about your DD1, Lucy, as you say, it's always really rotten when there are kiddies, fingers crossed they and their Mum will get through it all ok, especially with the help of Granny & Granddad.

    I'm really pleased that your op is going to be relatively soon Lucy, I bet you'll be so pleased when it's over and done and you can get on with life. :grinheartAmazing potting btw, I almost forgot that!!!



    Good luck with the coins, Raggle, though the film - I've heard nothing about. :cool:



    Excellent work datlex!!


    You haven't done bad at all, CapricornLass, very good savings indeed!!!



    Nice work Saving Glut, but that £1 needs to be with friends!!



    You're most welcome, Dreamworlded. Good spotting with the 2p, bet it's snuggled in with the rest by now!! ;)


    Very well done, Homegrown!!


    Sorry to hear you've been in hospital, Choccygirl, or maybe it's for the ongoing problems. Doubtless a break away will do you good, have a lovely time. :D

    Excellent work with the surveys!!


    Thanks for the laugh, Hettyhound, seriously though 3p is pretty good being as it was someone else's. You only need 97 more to make it a £1!!! :rotfl:



    Oh poor you siju! :eek: Little wonder your pride got a bit of a bartering! Thank goodness you weren't toooo badly hurt...burns was the first thing that went through my mind, thank goodness you weren't!! Then as you relayed the bakery part and how you looked, I must confess to having a fit of the giggles as I 'saw' you looking like an advert for He!nz soup!!!! So sorry siju, but you described it all so well, I'm afraid I'd have been with your Mum!! Well, metaphorically speaking! So, after all that and no potting!! :( Just joking. Take good care of yourself.


    Have a really good Wednesday, folks! Pot if and when you're able to!! :D

    Sue

    NB folks: Opening date for SPC 12 will be 31st October 2019

    Sorry to hear of illness and the loss of people's loved ones, wishing you all my best wishes.

    Not much potting gone on this week other than 47p in change I found down the side of the sofa.

    Sue_UU, I detest ironing more than my mum :rotfl: but she is unable to do it herself and my dad is bad on purpose I think :o Her normal ironing lady is no longer around to do it, so she asked me to step in while she finds someone good. One lady she had would only iron one side of the clothing :doh:

    Potted the last of this week's cash. Pay day tomorrow. I now have over £80 in it.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Evening Potterssssssssss

    So sorry for your loss Mrs Moneypenny, my thoughts are with you.

    Glad you didn't burn yourself Siju but get better soon with your lumps and bumps!

    Well as it seems i'm not going to get my note added to the first post . . £100 in £2 coins potted last friday :rotfl: I also have one in my purse to go in as well as some silver.

    Also, £3 from selling a mirror on FB, and I had a bit of an Fleabay marathon and have made £153 for the craft money tin, approx £30 for the sealed pot and Miss Lily has made just over £35 from selling her old toys and books :D just got to go get it all out of the bank so it can be potted in its various places :D

    There is also £14 that needs to go in the new parking money saved tin but I have yet to sort one out so its just sat in the corner of my memory at the minute.

    Welcome back Sue-UU. Hope you’re feeling better following your rest.

    Sorry you lost your darling husband Mrs money penny.

    Found mislaid 1p roadkill and added it together with £1 change to SP :beer:

    Slightly premature, but I purchased 4 Premium Bonds with my SPC today. Fingers crossed for a win, which would be reinvested into my SPC for Xmas purchases.
