Today I thought I was very clever, finding two £1 coins in the carpark of the local social club. Then tonight my partner took one of our dogs for a walk, during which he found a £10 note All safely potted now.....
Blimey, Octobers nearly here! you know what that means? CAROL SINGERS!! I've got my shot gun ready.
Only a few weeks to go till opening day too!
There's definately something going around this past week or two, I don't know if it was covid but I felt awful last weekend, my nose would just not stop running and that of course then caused the bottom of my nostrels to get red & sore. Lots of people off work too. Better now though thank goodness, hope everyone else is okay too?
I opened my tin! Well one of them, don't all scorn me just yet lol.
I was doing some shopping at Asda the other day and after I was leaving I noticed a guy at a table holding a bucket for donations. I had just used my debit card to pay for my shop, so knowingly didn't have any change to give away. I looked around his table at the leaflets and he offered me a keyring. 'Purpose of Life' is the name on the keyring, they build basic water wells in countries like Pakistan where there isn't a great deal of the stuff to go around.
I got the bus home, cut open the tin that contained coppers and small silver, it was pretty much full, but I've no idea how much was in there. Took the tin and caught the bus back town to Asda, found the guy and emptied it all into his bucket. Job done. He looked pleased, that's all that matters.
Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone, I'll be baking some triple chocolate muffins tomorrow..still can't believe Tesco's were selling £2 Dr Oetker Chocolate bars from 88p, that's insane! - snap those 150g bars up quick because the 100g replacements are coming in lol.
Hello SPCers! I hope you've all had a wonderful weekend a super and will enjoy a very good week ahead.
To any of our members out there who are
feeling poorly, or low in any way,
please get better soon. Get well soon. Love & best
wishes from us all. ❤️
Crikey Saver-upper! You were VERY lucky with the
£2 coin, but with your partner then finding a £10 note when taking one
of the dogs for a walk...! 😯a VERY lucky day for you both!!
Well done on the £12 you potted!
Yes, it'll soon be that day again!🤩
Flipping heck James, I don't want the year to fly by THAT blinking quickly! 😲 Anyway Declaration Day will be on the the 26th of October, a little sooner if you like, but NOT a day later!! That will make it much better for me.
It
sounds a lot like COVID you all had, you poor souls. A small tip for if
you should have it again, always keep a couple of boxes of Kl!enex B!lsam tissues in, you won't get a sore nose again!! 😉
No
worries about donating 1 of your pots of cash to the chap in Tescos
James, just add a rough amount to what you have in your other box and
Declare it on or before 26th October, no later!!
I hope you haven't eaten all the chocolate you bought so cheaply!
Take care James.
Sue
