    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 😊

    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  <3

    I'm so very pleased your auntie has had her cast off and is progressing well Ant. Not too long to go until the cast is removed! 😀
    Keep pushing on with your potting!

    I certainly hope so Vicky, but no way to tell unless I have an x-ray and now I've got over 3 weeks through I don't really see the point.
    Well done with the 32p added to your pot

    A very belated Happy Birthday MrsShazbat. 🎉🥳🥂🍾 I hope your curry went down well to celebrate.
    Very well done with your Plum account. Fingers crossed with the MOT and have a great time in London.

    T always goes to the same garage for the MOT too Siju, he agrees with you.
    Excellent potting this week!
    Have what's left of a GREAT WEEKEND folks!

    Thanks @Sue-UU and @siju

    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

    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. 😀👏

    Have a great day folks, a great Friday too, 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

    Ooh I'd like a magic money washing machine 🤣

    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.

    Enjoy a wonderful weekend folks! Look out for the rain today, though we've not had any!
