  • OMG I actually have some change on me (left over from a visit to the pub!). I can't put it in the pot yet as I need to go to the Post Office, but I'm promising myself that anything left from the Post Office will all go in.

  • Oooh, new posters.

    SueUU (having computer trouble) gives the numbers, SParky is holding fort while she is MIA so you will get a number soon, just puttign up a first post is enough (and you never leave :D - something of a twilight zone.

    Dawnie - do what works for you. You could just open those that are ready at the end of this year and count those and leave the rest to accumulate.

    If you head back to posts one and two there are all the 'rules' there - they aren't very draconian.

    I haven't spent any money in over a week!!

    But that must be gd in a way just not for my pots! I have a pot for 50ps', a pot for 20ps', a pot for 10ps', a pot for 5ps', and a pot for 2ps and 1ps and have decided i wont open them til full so dont no if they will count towards our total at the end of the year as it all depends if they are full.

    Is this still ok? Had to ask as this is my first time joinin this group.

    I have added about £1.50 today! really pleased!

    Hi PD21, whateve you do with your sealed pot is fine, we look at it this way, if you need to break into it to pay something, at least you had it there and weren't trying to pinch from Peter to pay Paul, do me a favour, can you pop the amount you've used into your signature, this helps when we do the grand count at the end of the challenge :D, Thanks
