Welcome back @Sue-UU
Plum has saved me £56.71 this month so far, and my 2 virtual pots are doing well so far.
Small pupdate regarding Duke - his first match didn't work out and we were asked if he could come back to us for one night only last week. His first person was a young person and our handler felt that there was maybe some parental pressure involved. Fortunately this is apparently very rare. Anyway he went to his second match on Thursday last week; initially it was for one night only with them and then back to us but then Guide Dogs decided he should stay the weekend if it all went well. We got a text on Friday afternoon, with a picture of him in his new home and all is well. It's an older lady, and I believe she and her husband live on the coast, but they also have a retired guide dog so he'll have a furry sibling. His puppy raisers also had their own dog, so when he came to us and he was on his own, I think that played into his early issues a bit because he was used to company. That said he did eventually turn it round. We should hopefully get another dog in August sometime when the next cohort comes through, although it was nice to see names disappearing off the whiteboard at the training centre as other dogs have gone on to their new people 😊

Aww well done @MrsShazbat that's fantastic news 👏
Welcome back @Sue-UU I'm so glad you are feeling better 😊 sorry about your friend, bless him, he's having a tough time 💕
No potting for me atm, got home in the early hours of this morning and haven't even unpacked yet 🙈 but will plonk some money in later today. Lovely holiday with plenty of sunshine but the journey back into Wales last night was a nightmare with so many overnight road closures!

It’s so good having you fully back with us @Sue-UU
Air con was broken on the train today which was definitely not nice to put it mildly. I do have a bit of compensation from delayed trains though, which helps add to the Pot total.
I have a day watching cricket tomorrow which should be mega hot, but hopefully we will have some nice shade.
If you like the very hot weather, enjoy. If you hate it like I do, let’s just grin and bear it.
