Hi all, can I join you please?
I’ve started throwing some coins into a sealed tin. It says Saving for Prosecco on it, but I’m really saving for the retirement cruise I’ll be drinking the fizzy stuff during!
Nine years until I can retire so I hope to fill a fair few sealed pots between now and then.MBNA 237.47/13997.47

Hello everyone, throwing a few more pennies in the pot today 😇.
We haven't done anything exciting the past few days, apart from: a little reading, listening to the dog pump, and snore. He woke himself up a few days ago doing it 😂🦮😂.

Oh my gosh nu1isit? you're making me laugh already! I bet it's not just your dog trumping with all the sprouts people have eaten over Christmas
Yes, Sue, our son's little girl was 6 in November and we have never seen her in the flesh, just in photos and WhatsApp calls. At least she does know who we are: Grandma and Grandpa in England!
Wishing a happy new year to you and T, Sue, hope the family are all well. Happy new year to all potters too, old and new
Fingers crossed for a better year for everyone. Yay!
