    Thanks for the welcome back.

    Sue I've PM'd you

    Just got 4 X £2 coins and 2 X 50p's for the summer 2011 fund. I will put £2.72 into the sealed pot when I get home. Then it's off to bed to try to get shut of the jat lag!

    Possibly not KONG - but - you treat the darned pot just as you would if you knew it was a ticking bomb and.....keep away at all times!!! :(Though, not a lot of folk know this, but somehow it miraculously stops ticking when it knows cash is being added!!!!! :rotfl:

    sparky, you're quite right...super glue is definitely the answer, so be sure to get some Catherine. :D

    Well done LC 2, glad you've fixed it as I'd hate folk to be going all over the site looking for the darned BOX thread. ;) Twas lovely here til mid afternoon, but cloudy since.

    Sounds as though you were magnetized to that town and pub scuba, jammy so and so! Well done you! :T

    I'll possibly be back later folks. Have a good evening.

    Sue x New friends wishing to join us, please just ask below and I'll be with you ASAP.

    Hehe Sue! :D

    Well, then we need to keep putting money in the pot-"bomb" so it dont explode!:p

    I can't hear any ticking right now... Maybe it will say something tomorrow again? :D

    "Tick, Tak, Tick, Tak"

    :rotfl:

    And, all of you, can you have a great weekend!:T
