    can I join in too?

    I've got myself an empty fabric conditioner bottle, sealed it and cut a slit in the lid. I've put all the spare change i can find in our house into the pot :) (forgot to count it up first though)

    Hoping to save as much as i can to put towards our wedding in September this year.

    hi all, hope you are all taking care in the snow. i've managed 4 gold ones and some change this week so it's going well. i've decided to start collecting gold ones in a different pot which is see through (but sealed) so it's an encouragement as i can see how many are in there......it could also turn out to be a tease but i'll try my best not to open it

    I brought 5ish items off ebay and i got emails from pay pal saying i had paid for them and sure enough my items were sent , they left feed back i left feed back and now my pay pal is in red and says -24.24! And one person i brought some thing off using pay pal said she got a email saying i had reversed the transaction... so i am waiting for the 7-9days it takes to transfer "funds" to my paypal account! I do not know if thats even the right thing to do or not? I am so confused and worried sellers will think i am ripping them off. Pay pal are saying its the banks problem and the bank is saying its pay pals problem.

    No more coins for the sealed pot until i get paid i dont think :(

Let PP sort it for you, and I'm sure they will. Take care next time and read it well. Don't worry though, we;ve all done this like that, will do again like as not! :rolleyes:


    Thanks scuba, still doing more to it today, but getting much better!

    You're welcome Souk08, all the best with your wishes, let's hope they come to something!

    You're welcome too angelica68, but - your sig hasn't worked! Go to the top of the page, click the "User CP", next look for the option to "edit signature", click that and add it to your signature. Good luck.

    You're also welcome purple15 - but - how come the night before you were purple115sister?? I'll need to know if you've changed your name so the members' list tallies up. Also, I notice you haven't yet put your number on your signature part, could you kindly do so as it helps me so very much, thanks!
    Hi |LC2 - exactly!!!! Can't wait to hear what Sue means:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes: Bless her though she has been poorly.

    Cheeky beggars! No, I mean the horse and little carriage thingys that people travel around on. The fellah (Jeremy somebody) that used to do "Airport" several years ago used to go on one whenever he was there. A name similar to Troska or summat like that...no I don't mean the entire ruddy ballet or them dancers on low legs! :rolleyes:

    I hope all goes well for you gonnabedebtfree, thinking of you. :D

    Well done on your breakdown renewal Reb, some savings there! :T

    Sorry you're starting to hate it GBNature, I LOVE it!!! Though we were shopping this afternoon and the town's main street was like a rink and sadly, there was one poor gent led on the ground with people around him, blood absolutely everywhere. The siren was wailing so we 'skated' off to finish the shopping. I do hope he's all right bless him.

    Good to see you dropping by Stunty, well done on the £5er!

    Well done on your win ruby!!

    You're right Kas! Now sit still there until you've reflected on what you've done!! :mad:No sweets!

    Take care again today Sealed Potters, keep upright and healthy! Anyone started squealing - blame sparky! :rotfl:
