Her hubby rang early this morning (he didn't like to disturb us yesterday), I wish he had as life is far more important. However, he rang early today to say she'd been thoroughly tested but wouldn't know anything concrete unil tomorrow. I do so hope she'll recover soon!Happy Boxing day Dizzycap and more excellent potting from your finds!Hopefully, you'll soon find your mislaid £20 LMD, but for now, very well done with your £10 potted!!

@ AntoMac - Well done with the 2 pounds pot weight gain
@ LittleMissDetermined - I really hope you find your missing £20 so that your pot gains financial weight soon!@ @ThriftyPrincess40 - I hadn't even thought about rumaging through the car! Guess what I'll be doing tomorrow under the guise of cleaning the inside of the car? I know they'll be loose change as I always dump it in the coffee holders, especially £1 coins just in case I need one for a shopping trolly should I not have my trolly disc on me or another kind of chocolate, sticky bun emergency
@ Sue-UU- I hope your friend gets both answers & gets better soon xxxx It's always seems difficult to break sad / bad news around ChristmasTime for a nice mug of coffee

Nice one @ThriftyPrincess40
All ideas from anybody are welcome on here.
As well as £1.50 potted today I also found the random sum of 3p roadkill for the pot. 2p on my first trip to get the cat food and then another penny when I went back round for the other stuff I forgot to get on my first trip
