    Hi SPCers! I hope you've had a lovely weekend and a good start to the new week. what a difference to the temperature.
    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 quite agree Ant, and the dermatologist was certainly quick in finding that. I've never seen an instrument like he used before, a lot of lights together on a handle and so very bright, and it was that which enabled him to look right into it and quickly discover what it was. Then he took a photo of it and said 'crikey I've never seen anything like this before, we could make a fortune from this photo alone'! 😂 He was so comical, bless him. 
    I think the most difficult part for us was the time it took for our Drs to act!!

    All the very best to your cousin when he has his op Ant, which hopefully won't be too long now! 

    Great work for you LMD, a brilliant sum added to your pot! 

    Oh dear Lucy:o  If your drawer has looped handles or anything possible, is it for you to get some pliers to grip the drawer handles and put some pressure on them to force the drawer open with hard pulls? I do hope so. Put it down to age Lucy... anything else to!  ;) Fingers crossed for you. 

    £20 transferred from the bank to the SPC fund

    Have a good Wednesday folks!

    Happy Friyay all!  Notifications haven't been working on Plum so I've been missing my updates but I transferred £46.86 into the virtual pot this week which is combo of 3 weeks' transfers.  At least it's them and not me!  Ironically, I did get notifications to say the money had transferred to the pot.

    We've been away for a few days attending a family wedding in Bath. What a fabulous time we had 😍 there are too few happy family gatherings these days!

    Popping another five pounds and some change in my pot. Enjoy the lovely weather while it lasts 😊

    Good morning, everyone!

    Well, we've had a couple of weeks away on holiday, but I was able to come back and immediately pot £93 thanks to pay day.

    Hi SPCers! I hope you've had a good weekend as well as the last couple of days.
    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 glad you really enjoyed such a lovely family wedding Siju, no doubt that as your grandchildren grow, family gatherings will increase, it's almost inevitable.
    Our entire family went to our 7 yr old grandson's football match last night, it was really good, especially as Oliver's team won!
    Very well done with your potting! 

    Hello Vicky! good to hear you've had a couple of weeks holiday, even more pleased you've been able to pot so much, excellent!!
    I hope you really enjoyed yourselves. 

    I tho :D ught we were having a good night's rain last night, today too, sadly no such luck. We desperately need it, the forecast was for a fairly wet week too, fingers crossed 🤞we do. Ah, it's coming over extremely cloudy as I write!  :p

    I hope you all have a very good week and have some good rain!

    We had some VERY local rain today.Nothing where I was 4 miles across town. When I got home thought there must have been a burst water main or something until Mrs Mac told me there had been a heavy downpour.

    Picked up a roadkill pound coin and potted it. Only a Sealed Potter would understand the excitement  :) 
    Hope everyone is keeping relatively well

    A whole £1 coin?  Now that is VERY exciting, @AntoMac! I think we all appreciate that immensely.

    As for me, another £3.85 payable on TopCashback so that's been duly potted.
