Hi Everyone
I've not posted for quite a while but still potting when I can.  Although with contactless there hasn't been much use for coinage!  Manage to pot £4 today (real coins  )

Hope everyone is keeping well and managing during these weird time in our lives.

Hettyhound I'm so thrilled for you, that's fantastic news
It's good that you have been able to start physio finally Sue_UU, I hope it's starting to make a difference 
Virtual pot has already been updated this week so nothing more to add, I just wanted to pop in and say hello 
Stay safe everyone

Brilliant news Hetty, so glad she's home.
Sue, I do understand what you mean about taking care of ourselves, it's just that Zoe and our Grandson are asthmatic and I fear that they could become very ill if they catch the virus. Son in Law is not the best at running the household if Zoe became ill.  He never thinks to eat let alone prepare food for the family!
Siju, I think you are correct when you say it's going to be a long winter
Anyway, I have potted £3.36 from a craft sale.  There are very slim pickings indeed this year
Stay well everyone x

Good morning Potters,
Usual few pounds potted this week. Most people on here seem very sensible with their risk taking. If only some of those less thoughtless would do the same. Was talking to a gent working in a shop in the week and he was telling me about the abuse he was given when politely asking a customer to wear a mask. Hard to believe how some people speak to others.
Hettyhound I was so pleased your cat came home. I love how they’re so oblivious to the worry they cause!  

Have a good weekend all

Sue-UU

A very Good Morning Potters! I hope you all enjoyed a great week and will have a wonderful weekend whatever you choose to do.

Do please TAKE CARE & STAY HEALTHY EVERYONE!!

For all those of you who are either poorly or feeling low or miserable in any way, our very best wishes that you'll soon be feeling very much better.

Wow that's great news about your puss, Hetty!! 😲 As you say, she's clearly been shut in somewhere, though to think of her with no food or drink for all that time!!! I'm so pleased she's home and recovering from her ordeal.

Hi Frogletina, lovely to see you.

Hello Dragon Lily, it's good to see you. We've all had the same saving problems as it's certainly not easy with cash these days. Well done with the £4.

Thanks a lot, siju, by I'm unable to do a lot yet as it's still swollen!! Next week he's phoning me which says a lot. Good to see you money or not. 😀

I understand your concern, little_sweetie, but Zoe and her DS would be treated better and quicker because of her asthma. I didn't realise your SIL was like that, in which case yours and ours are shocking at such times! 🙄 Persuade Zoe to take great care due to her asthma and to stay at home where possible.  The numbers are doubled here in Somerset, I'm definitely staying home and keeping free because of the copd. 

We're older and because of that are much more vulnerable, so do take care A or you could all be very ill. 

Good going once again, Ant!! It's shocking the amount of abuse shop workers get because of the ignorance of selfish people who just don't like doing what they're told!

News from the UU house: Our DGD is in labour with her and her partner having their first baby!!!! 👼 All's going well so far. The little treasure is early but certainly not dangerously so. It will be wonderful to meet the little treasure.

OOh, Sue, exciting news!! Fingers crossed for an easy birth for DGD.  It's especially lovely whenever we hear good news these days.
Yes, Sue, we are taking extra care.  We only venture to the shops when we absolutely have to.  Our social life consists solely of visiting the allotment right now!  Zoe & the family live in an area under local lockdown at the moment and she  is fanatical about cleaning. She gets their food using click and collect to minimise contact with others.  The biggest risk is from SiL's work contacts (he's a manager/production planner) and he's worked all through the pandemic, but there's also a risk from school too.  One teacher has already tested positive along with several students 
Antomac, I can't believe how abusive people are becoming either.  There's absolutely no need to take out frustration on staff who are trying to keep us all safe.  It's a sad world right now.
Jakes-mum, I hope you are all ok after such a sad time.  Bereavement is hard at the best of times but right now it's even worse.
Stay safe everyone x

Thanks everyone for the lovely comments about Millie’s return.  She’s getting better all the time and has eaten quite a lot today and is now sitting up some of the time instead of just laying there.  I have potted £10.15 today as I emptied all purses.  I did put £6 to one side for pocket money and the tooth fairy who made a return visit earlier this week so that should be October sorted out.  I’m sorry to say that I’ve been looking at Christmas stuff online.  I need to order advent calendars, ordinary calendar and a diary before they all go too!  I normally get most things online due to always having my son with me but this year it’s because the shops aren’t nice ☹️  Sadly I’m not surprised by what Ant told us; I just don’t understand some people.

little_sweetie

Hetty, I think lots of us will be ordering online for Christmas. The shops are definitely not nice right now I'm so glad Millie is picking up, she must have had quite a traumatic time.
I've sold a few books to Ziffit so £7.20 to pot this week. It will all help....
Sue, I hope you have some good news to report?
Stay safe everyone x

|Evening pottersssssss
Well today I made £170 in sales from bits and pieces from dear uncles flat, it was horrible for me and DH to be sifting through and selling his things but I know he would be looking down on us going 'Make sure you get every brass penny you can girl!', he always liked to find stuff he could turn into a few bob bless him.  PLus every time we remove something it becomes less his home and more 'the flat' if you see what I mean? 
He was also a 'potter' he had a huge plastic tub covered in red electrical tape with a hole cut in the top, he would put all his coppers, 5p's and 10p's in it and then give it to me to count up and then split the money between my kids, it only came to about £12 each but it was one of his quirks that will remain with me
I have brought his pot home and I am going to carry on potting the same coins in it from the new potting year, it keeps him close to me.
SO yes, £70 in the pot today, the other £100 is still in the bank as the buyer did a bank transfer but i'll get that out this week and add it in.
P.S so pleased your cat came home Hetty!
