Have a great time in the New Forest Sue
We were down that way last week (Christchurch) visiting M-I-L. It sure is a beautiful part of the country.

Oooh, I love the New Forest, have a great time.
I got back from The Lake District yesterday and I'm still recovering from the 9.5hr journey 😫
On a more positive note, my savings pots arrived today and I've fed them already! Notes on the right, coins on the left - £17.13 for starters.
And I've put the counting date on my calendar.

I have 1 of these and I'm sure I read somewhere that if you warm the edge with a hairdryer, you can pull the top off, empty it and use it again. I've tried and it didn't work, so it looks like I'll be taking the can opener to it!!JynErso said:Oooh, I love the New Forest, have a great time.

Have a fabulous break Sue-UU. I've just had a weekend away with some school friends, we've known each other since we were 4 (about 10 years then 🤣🤣🤣🤣) We always have a brilliant time, lots of fun and laughter, it's so good for the soul ❤
I didn't know that you needed 10 posts to enable your signature, you learn something new every day. I feel like we are all off to a very good potting start this year. I'm adding my usual £5 and a bit of change this week.SPC 19 - #0092
