Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"
Comments

Can you cry under water?
How important does a person have to be before they are considered assassinated instead of just murdered?
Why do you have to 'put your two cents in'... but it's only a 'penny for your thoughts'? Where's that extra penny going to?
Once you're in heaven, do you get stuck wearing the clothes you were buried in for eternity?
Why does a round pizza come in a square box?
What disease did cured ham actually have?
How is it that we put man on the moon before we figured out it would be a good idea to put wheels on luggage?
Why is it that people say they 'slept like a baby' when babies wake up like every two hours?
Why are you IN a movie, but you're ON TV?
More to follow tomorrow, hope you enjoy them

Hi all! Just come back from a trip to Sainsburys to stock up on books while they're still on offer, so £3 in nice shiny gold coins for the pot today.
Edited to add: Just added a £5 note that I was owed to the pot. That will probably be it for the rest of the week as I'm not planning any more shopping trips!ISA savings: £25,139 Other Savings: £1750 (tied up in bond)0 -

Hello all!
Hope you're all well! Haven't checked in for a while but have been popping a pound or two into my Terramundi pot whenever I can (has become automatic now) and keeping my eyes downcast on the street! Really hope when I crack open the pot in December I'll be pleasantly surprised!

It's a person's soul that goes to Heaven...NOT the body, therefore no change of clothes needed!;)
