Morning all hope you are all keeping well 
not spent much money 💰 but bashed my card 😅 but this month I have put into my money box £90.70 this year is going so quick

Happy Friday Potters! I hope you've all enjoyed the week, and are still doing so at least for today. Get ready for a lovely weekend. It's been quite a lovely week weather wise.

For all those who are poorly, have Covid, or are down in any way.

Take great care and get well soon. Best wishes from us all.

 

I know what you mean about trying not to think about the astrononmiclly high price increases, Ant, but how on earth do we NOT!! It really makes you wonder whenever it's going to end! I feel so sorry for Martin Lewis as you can tell just how distraught he is not being able to do anything for the first time! 

Very well saved, and if you're able, keep it up! BTW our Covid No's for today are 5662 so thank heavens it's gone down from 15,000 last week! Keep very safe. 

Well saved Siju!! It sounds as though you and your DH did some really good work, but what depth you had to dig to get passed the dry soil! How on earth the poor blackbirds etc get on... It's possibly the reason ours now eat sunflower hearts. Still,  you achieved what you desired - and then - came the rain! 

Thank goodness T & I aren't high electricity users, and like you, there are only the 2 of us. I feel so terribly sorry for those on mortgages, and possibly HP for cars.. let alone kiddies!! However folk like that are going to cope is truly beyond me!! 

Take care.

Hi Lost and brilliant potting!!! Not quite sure what you mean about bashing your card, unless you mean that you used it this time. I understand what you mean about the year going fast, I've been ok time wise this year, but T is often saying how fast it goes for him. 

Take care Lost.

£15 transferred across to the SPC account. 

NB.  COVID is still about, folks, and even though, locally, the Nos are going down a lot, there are still 22.000 new cases each day!! 😯 Anyone who wishes to help with the Nos can go to Covid tracking at Zoe and join us all with Professor Tim Spectre. It takes less than a minute per day, if that, but it helps Tim and his team immensely

Enjoy a WONDERFUL WEEKEND  Potters, but beware, of Covid!!

Well the rain has arrived, it's just drizzle today which I know we need but we are looking after DD's two dogs for the next couple of weeks.  They are very sad about the rain as they love chasing each other around our garden but hate getting wet    Hoping things will improve tomorrow.

Another £6.47 in the pot this week.  Keep safe and well folks

£4.00 potted in the form of 2 lovely £2 coins, hope everyone has had a good start to August. I agree with the comments about the year going so fast! X

Happy Wedneday Potters! I hope you've all enjoyed the weekend, the week so far too. Get ready to prepare for next week and take great care!

For all those who are poorly, have Covid, or are down in any way.

Take great care and get well soon. Best wishes from us all.

 

Brilliant potting Ant!! I'll bet your pot loves you right now. Keep it going!

We haven't had any rain this week, Siju, no sign of any to come either, however, it's good to know you have!

That's the joy of having 2 dogs together when they're young, the 2 can have such fun when they're youngsters.

Great potting!!

We all seem to agree about the speed at which the years going, Hummingbird, though I'm sure Covid plays a part in it. 

Great work with those 2 x £2 coins!!

Enjoy a good week Potters, but beware, of Covid because the Nos will go up again after the football!!

Not needed to go into the office today, so potted the travel saving

Hello 👋.  Mainly been potting coppers but managed £30 the other week.  I’m already warning Alex that Christmas will be small this year (smaller than normal which is already small) but he doesn’t really understand.  I’m working overtime on Saturday which is extremely rare but my boys behaviour has been much improved so I feel able to help out.  I have had to get further new glasses only 6 months after my others.  I collect them tomorrow so fingers crossed.  I just can’t see properly which causes no end of issues so I decided just to go and get an eye test elsewhere and start again.  The therapy treatment I am investing in for my son seems to be having an effect.  It’s Retained Reflexes therapy (I’d never heard of it either!).  We have a reassessment at the end of the month and should be given additional exercises for him to do, hopefully the ones to help the hand eye coordination which should help with his writing problems.  We are also starting to get produce from the allotment which is helping with the funds a bit 😁

Well done on the potting @Hettyhound, every hard saved bit of money adds up. I added another £2 to my tin today. Little and often for me at the moment.
You can’t beat your own veg. I’ve only ever managed tomatoes home grown and they were amazing.
Im sure your Alex will understand about Christmas more than you think. It’s certainly not worth getting into debt over. So many people overspend madly at Christmas and then have to pick up the pieces in the New Year.
