Sealed Pot Challenge ~ 16

MrsShazbat

Two £2 coins into the pot.

Health drama continues and unfortunately hubby has been diagnosed with cancer again. He’ll be having keyhole surgery and an ablation to deal with the offending article in the next month or so - so we’re taking that to mean it’s not ‘critical’, plus it’s a new incidence and not something that’s gone undetected. He is adamant he’s going to be fine so we’re keeping calm and carrying on x

I got paid cash for work today. It doesn't happen very often. Going to celebrate by adding one of the £10 notes to my pot.

A colleague kindly gave me a lift to work today. I bought her a cup of coffee as a thank you but she didn’t want any money so I potted the difference between the coffee and my expected travel ticket.

That's a very kind thing for her to do   Lovely to get unexpected potting. 

I've potted £5 today

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband @MrsShazbat, and I hope that they manage to get everything sorted for him when the time comes for his treatment. A positive mindset can make a world of difference, so it's good that he has that and I'm thinking positive vibes for you both and your family too.xx

Good Evening Potters. What a bitter week we've had. I hope you've all enjoyed a good week, folks.

For all those of you poorly or low, do take care of yourself and get well soon. All best wishes from us all. ❤️

Hi Siju, I quite agree that the sun does make a difference to how you feel, but by golly it was so bitterly cold here last night and this morning!! 🥶 When T got up this morning, he looked out of the window and exclaimed "It's snowing and snowing hard!!" 😶‍🌫️ It was the hard snow too and is still there and quite beautiful! 

You have a good week too, and brilliant work with the £5 potted!!

Crikey LMD, another £9.25 added to your pot. 😶 Well done you!

Another £5 potted in your most recent post LMD!!

It obviously wasn't the store my SIL is manager of, Saverupper, you'd both have been scrabbling for it!! Well spotted all the same!!

Re your latest post, excellent work with that £10!! 😯

How very kind of your colleague, Ant, and just the job for you to be able to pot the difference!

Your dear hubby has certainly been through the mill for a good while since you first came to SPC, MrsShazbat. 

Still, as you say, from the way they're treating it, it definitely sounds as though it isn't critical, neither has it gone undetected. Thank goodness for that!!

You be sure to take great care of yourself as well as hubby!

Very well done with your £5 potted 

A bit late in the day for me, skilly, but good afternoon to you, and excellent work with the £20!

Positive vibes indeed for MrsShazbat and her DH, Keedie!

Another £10 added to my SPC account!!

How kind of your colleague, Ant, and well done in potting the difference!

Have a really wonderful weekend, everyone!!

Sue

Thanks @Sue-UU, I'm finding I have a bit more spare cash this month as my holiday spending money came from last year's pot which is all thanks to this challenge

Good morning Sue, hello fellow potters.

I took the night off work last night, feeling under the weather. not stressed or anything. Anyway, whilst sat at my desk, I've had a chance to go through my late Mother's bank statements from the past 7 years. It's taken ages because they weren't in order at all
The Probate online forms scare me - once you fill in up to a certain part, there is no editing allowed and from what I've read, you can get into bother for doing it wrong. I've got to go finish them off later.

In a few hours, I have to go to Mum's house and wait for the house clearance team, it's costing me £245, Some of the things like wardrobes & double bed bases I couldn't possibly get down the stairs on my own, but the smaller items have either been chucked in the bin or dragged up to the charity shop.

I cant honestly remember what I've been putting in my tins this week...or last, I know I did approach it a few times but I've gone a bit blank.

Sorry to hear about your husband @MrsShazbat, I hope surgery goes well for him and I hope you will be okay too.

Take care all...It's all getting a bit frosty up here!

Aw @rancid-a what a rubbish time you are having.
I have no experience of filling a probate form so can’t offer any practical assistance unfortunately. I wouldn’t have thought anyone would get into trouble for an honest mistake though. 

This is a tough time but it will pass and better times will come.
