Happy birthday for last Friday @MrsShazbat 🍾🥂 I hate going to garages and usually leave it to DH as he's very knowledgeable about cars and they don't talk down to him, as they often do to me. If you find a good garage, hang on to it! Small amount of change potted. Enjoy the weekend 😊
I'm a petrolhead so pretty good with cars and having had the same make/model for over 10 years, know how they behave. Reviews are also good and it's a family business so I'm pretty confident they'll be fine, but yes fingers crossed anyway!
Ah so you’re an Owl then @MrsShazbat Have enjoyed both my long trips up to Hillsborough. Although my team lost both times the chip shop on Leppings Lane is superb (I think I had some kind of potato cake which was blooming lovely) and the locals in the pub were very friendly Added some more change to the increasingly heavy pot today

Good morning. Nice to see others from my neck of the woods @MrsShazbat I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your birthday and celebrations. £158 going in the pot from dice rolls and purse change this morning LMD x

Hello SPCers! I hope
you've had a good week, now enjoy the weekend.
To all those of you who are
poorly or low in any way, take very great care and get well soon.
Very best wishes from us all here on SPC
I'm not at all sure what the difference is from what you've written above MrsShazbat and why Ant has referred to you as being an Owl?! 🤔 🫤
One
thing I am sure about though is sticking with the ones who have treated
you well. My hubby's the same and sticks with the garage he knows to be
the best, has done for many years.
Well done with your pot Ant, the heavier the better so keep on filling it! 😀
Flipping heck LMD,
I've got to say that you do brilliantly with your dicing! So, is it
more skill than luck or a bit of both or...?! 🤔 Fantastic work
either way. 😀👏
Haveagreatday folks, a greatFridaytoo, and take care!

Sorry @Sue-UU for the seemingly strange words. Mrs Shabbat’s favourite football team play in a district called Owlerton so they are known as the Owls Anyway, I am going steadily onwards with my potting and looking forward to a good total in October, albeit nowhere near the small fortune that LMD is managing to build up.

The Magic money producing washing machine produced a 50 pence piece today so that went straight into the pot

We had a peahen roosting in our garden for 28 days and 4 out of her 5 eggs have hatched. Mum and babies have been safely relocated back with our neighbour. Peacocks are lovely to look at but they can be destructive in the garden. There are 5 naughty ones that keep wandering in and eating my begonias 🙄
Five pounds and a bit of change in the pot this week 😊

Ah I see, thanks a lot for that Ant, it's always nice to know what these things stand for.
Don't worry, I can't see any of us getting anywhere near what LMD is bound to achieve somehow. Still, good luck to her. Keep racing on though Ant, as you never know!
Ahh
a magic money producing washing machine eh? We haven't got one of
those, brilliant with the 50p Ant, though what's the betting it was
yours in the first place!! 😀
You and me both Siju! 😉
What
a tale about your neighbour's peahen producing 4 out of 5 little'ns in
your garden! 😯 Beautiful birds, though the noise from a nearby peacock would
drive me cuckoo, especially if it was next door! 😳
Is there no way you can protect the begonias?
Very well done with your potting money!
£20 transferred from our account to the SPC one.
Enjoyawonderfulweekend folks! Look out for the rain today, though we've not had any!
