    We've had 2 of our grandchildren staying this week, so it's been a very busy week.  DH and I could hardly keep our eyes open last night 😴 however, our house no longer looks like a toy shop 🙃 and we've had a good night's sleep 😍 so life returns to normal!  We are off on our travels again next week for a very welcome break.

    Potting my usual five pounds for this week and next week 😊

    A very good Thursday SPCers. I hope everyone's doing their best to stay warm in this icey weather! o
    To all those who are ill in any way, or low in spirits at all. Take great care and get well soon. Love from us all

    Good going with your latest potted cash Ant.

    A great way of potting Vicky

    Excellent potting LMD

    We're definitely aware when any of our grandchildren are staying eh Siju. A delight to enjoy, but it's always good to get the house back to normal, our lives too! 
    What you describe is exactly how T and I used to feel and react after the elder 3 went back to mum and dad.  :( Thank goodness they decided to have a break before the youngest two came along! 
    Have a lovely peaceful time away and brilliant potting of both lots!

    Not sure about anyone else but T and I felt it really turned bitter last night!! God bless all those sleeping outside!

    Enjoy the rest of the week folks.  :)

    Potted £5 and a few pennies.  My sealed pot saver at 7% is set up again with a £50 monthly payment and I’m back to cash for grocery shopping so change will be added to the pot 😁

    Eek! The sanctuary called earlier today about our doggo application #exciting  We're going to pay a visit later this week all being well.

    In other news, I've worked out a plan for the loose change part of my SPC - I'm going to do the purse count at the end of each week (when I remember!) and then transfer that amount from my bank account into savings.
