    Good evening pottersssssssssss
    Well DD is remote learning for the next two weeks, DS is furloughed again and his work is muttering about not opening before Easter!  I'm keeping busy as am now on book 4 and 5 (yes simultanious writing people!) and DH is just . . well . . . DH, nothing changed with him :lol:
    £5 in the pot from a facebook sale before the big lockdown, not really getting a lot of change at the minute as I bought Mr T gift cards when they were giving a free £5 with each card so am using those for my shopping.
    Back I disappear into the ether, my time away is shortening Sue! I am remembering to pop in :smiley:

    Crikey, your DD slipped up there, Doily94, but excellently spotted and potted by you! 😂

    Well well jakes-mum, I never expected to see you back that quick, not complaining though. 
    Do you ever talk to anyone in your household as it seems as though your head is forever stuck in books?! It's ok, no need to answer, I know the answer - no!

    Wow, so Jake's home for a fairish old while then, still, Lily too. Still, safer that way for you all. At least, I take it DH is?

    Good for you with the cash! Right, see you again after X amount of pages or books! 

    have a really GREAT WEEKEND, and DO TAKE CARE .....PLEASE!!

    Happy New Year Potters!  Sorry I have been missing since Christmas......life has been strangely quiet and I am only just getting back in the swing of things.  Motivation starvation, if you know what I mean :#  Nevertheless we are up and about and trying to stay out of harm's way.  It's so lovely to see all the new potters - a very warm welcome to you all  :)  A very warm welcome to baby Ralph too  o:)
    Stashing a lovely £22.04 in my pot today :)  Take care and enjoy the rest of the week.
