    Hello everyone,
    Still no joy on the home 'puter, won't let me post. :mad:

    Well I had to open my "Pot", as we are having a party in December, and had to pay some of the bills off, so here goes deposit on food £200, payment for singer £120, plus some loose change amounting to about £5 odd. I will keep putting in until December 1st, and then re-start on the 2nd. So my total so far is £325.63, :T I thought I'd have to scrape all this together next month, but now my "sealed pot" has paid for it. A result I'd say.

    Plus my aim is to double my total next year. :eek:

    Evening everyone.I will start by saying a few pennies went into the pot today.
    For all you lovely people caring about my hospital visits I can now tell you my scan results came back today and I don't have Endometrial Cancer.:j

    Unfortunatly it doesn't mean my problems have disappeared and means more tests ect but it does mean the scariest thing has been ruled out and whatever I do have should be treatable.Once we find out what is wrong that is lol.a happy ending to a very stressful month.Thanks everyone for being here for me.A special thanks to Stunty :)
    lost my way but now I'm back ! roll on 2013

    Never mind sparky, at least you had it there for the occasion, better than needing to have it on credit or not at all. Good luck with your wishes for next year! I do hope you're soon able to have some sort of success with that temperamental PC of yours. Try kicking it perhaps! Forget that as that's for tellies I think.:D

    Hi Molly, I was thrilled to bits to read your news and hope they're soon able to pinpoint what you DO have and can get on with the treatment for it. Still, at least you can rest assured in the knowledge that you don't have the nasty evils that cancer brings with it.

    Good luck Molly, I hope they soon sort you out ....in the nicest possible way! ;)

    Evening mumzy,
    Hope you're well hun, and things have settled down for you also, brilliant news for molly isn't it? I've got my next "pot" ready for 2nd December, it's a large celebrations box with the lid glued down & a hole cut in the top lol very MSE, I was going to buy a money box, but the tightwad in me wouldn't let me do it, DW went mad, because she doesn't like clutter or mess, she said, bl**dy hell there'll be boxes full of money all around the house (my reply was "I wish"), the back of my head is still smarting now lol.
    Only 41 days to opening & 42 days to the start of the next "challenge"!
    :D
