As you said Ant, with the Olympics there's something for everyoneOh we just love the gymnastics too, Siju, as well as swimming, tennis... and all the rest. I absolutely loved sport at school and I it's carried on.What a very busy week you've had with the the two toddlers and baby!Excellent news for your DD!! I bet you're all so delighted.We've got 5 from our DD and her husband, our DS and his wife weren't able to have any. They were very disappointed in the early years and even thought of adopting, in the end they decided to leave it for a while, just as well with the COL living crisis.We've got 9 great-grandchildren from our DD 2 step children with our elder grandson, what an expense!We don't like decorating much either Ant, but we've at last taken off all wallpaper and will be sticking to paint and coving. Brilliant work finding the £1, no such luck in our house! 🙄It's good to hear you're still potting well, Hetty, especially the £80 you potted!! Well done with the 20p roadkill! Such a shame your young lad fractured his wrist, like as not his friends will want to sign the cast before it goes, he may well even get more friends lovely Bank Holiday Weekendas a result.
You'll need to save VERY well for Christmas if you're to buy that VERY expensive bike for him!! I hope you both enjoy your trips out during your holiday.£20 transferred from our account to the SPC account.Have a really Wonderful Bank Holiday everyone!Sue xThe end date for SPC is on the 24th October 2024..........BUT no later, please!

Sealed pot is suffering again. Hubby is in hospital again, he's had a stroke, not a good prognosis. I'm not impressed with the Doctors but the nursing care has been really good. He will be coming home in the next few days but we don't know for how long.Sealed Pot Challenge member 28

Oh no @Lucyhope
Sorry to hear that. There are much more important things than keeping up with your potting. There is some great rehabilitation they can do these days.27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 52 -
So sorry to hear your news @lucyhope it's a very difficult and worrying time for you and saving is the last thing on your mind. As @AntoMac says there are many rehabilitation options available.

I'm afraid it's gone beyond rehab, honestly, if you'd seen all that has happened written in a book it would be under Fiction it's that unbelievable.siju said:Sealed Pot Challenge member 28

Oh Lucy, I'm so very sorry to hear about your very dear hubby, it all seems one thing after another what with his heart, then his op and then the problems with your DD1.I so sincerely hope he makes a very good recovery.Thinking and praying for him and you and all the family and wishing you all well. Bless you all. 💖💖The last thing you need worry about now is your pot, just take great care of yourselvesMy dear younger cousin, Steve, sadly passed away a few days ago. His elder son messaged me on Friday saying he'd tried to get in but couldn't, so he called the police and ambulance. Sadly they found he had already died. We won't know anything more until he has a post mortem in the week.Have a really Wonderful Bank Holiday everyone!Sue xThe end date for SPC is on the 24th October 2024..........BUT no later, please!Anyone wishing to join us, please just ask and you'll be made very welcomeSealed Pot Challenge 001 My Totals = 08 = £163.95 09 = £315.78 10 = £518.80 11 = £481.87 12 = £694.53 13 = £1200.20! 14 = £881 15 = £839.21 16 = £870.48 17 = £871.52 18 = £800.00 19 = £851.022021=£820.26[/SizeGrand Totals of all members (2008 uncounted) 2009 = £32.154.32! 2010 = £37.581.47! 2011 = £42.474.34! 2012 = £49.759.46! 2013 = £50.642.78! 2014 = £61.367.88!! 2015 = £52.852.06! 2016 = £52, 002.40!! 2017 = £50,456.23!! 2018 = £47, 815.88! 2019 = £38.538.37!!!! :j1

Sorry to hear your sad news Sue-UU, it's a horrible way to find a loved one. My grandmother was found in the same way, many years ago and I know it haunted my mother for a long time.
Another £5 in the pot this weekSPC 16 - #09 Totals: 2014 - £264.51 2015 - £207.50 2016 - £396.79 2017 - £369.49 2018 - £484.24 2019 - £309.90 2020 -£282.06 2021- £1839.89 2022 -£1627.831 -
Oh dear Sue that bad news must have come as a big shock. A reminder if ever we need one to cherish every day we are blessed with.I’ve added 9 or 10 pounds in coins over the last few days.27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 52
