    Hi Heather,

    You can get the sealed boxes from the £1 shops they cost a £1:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    but if you have a B & M's near you they sell them for 69p.

    To add a signature go to the top of this page to User CP clip on there and you will see on the left hand side a column come up look down and you will see change signature click on there and you can add your signature!!
    and no I am not clever Sparky told me how to do it:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hi All!

    Not posted for a while but am still putting those coins in the pot regularly. I am still tempted to open my pot but even hubby is having a go at me now saying I've no will power and it will be more of a surprise if I wait so we have agreed not to open until it is full and then bank what is in it in a new account!

    PS Not posting much but am keeping up to date with thread!

    Hello everyone!

    I think I potted another 50p or so over the weekend. Sort of lost count a bit as I keep grabbing DHs loose change when he empties his pockets. I'm even immune to his protests now:D Anyway, he shouldn't leave it around if he doesn't want to get it snatched. He knows what I'm like.

    Keep up the good work everyone, I see some big pennies being potted.
