Hi all Sealed Potters and THIS is the moment you've all been so patiently waiting for.

Yes, it's time for the GRAND TOTAL to be announced!

After finally getting 85 of you to declare, the overall total is;

!!!!!! £26.615.58 !!!!!!
:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j


This is all down to us diligent savers, but mainly to YOU all! This year has hit everyone with many having lost their jobs or temporarily being out of work, but throughout it all you've saved at a fantastic rate and deserve to be so very proud of the great success that it's given us. If all this can be accomplished just think what it would be like if all 809 members declared the savings next December!!!

Thanks to you all for being such terrific folk and for bringing such a marvellous camaraderie to the thread, and for caring about each other, without you it would be nothing!

I think you'll all agree that without sparky here to add some great humour of his own and to help me urge you on to save every penny (dirty or otherwise!) you can, it wouldn't be the thread it's become. So dear sparky, thank you so very much indeed for your dedication to the thread, your help to the members also. Thank you also for doing all the totting up with the spreadsheet, and for being my right-hand man on whom I can always depend!! Quite simply, you're a star!!!:staradmin

As you may remember some of us took guesses at what the Grand Total would be and here they are;
- LC = £90,000
- mummytummy = £300,000
- Sue-UU = £45.000
- TheBees = £102,000
-pammy = £35660
So the nearest to the Total was pammy! Well done Pam, a very good guess indeed!! OK folks, let's head for even greater heights next December, especially now we have 809 members!!! Thank you ALL once again and....behave reb and Kes!!! Fat chance!

OK everyone, remember the date ............pots open again on December 1st 2010

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

Morning kerfuffle,
I've just made red onion chutney, red grape chutney, both go well with pate or cheese, and cranberry sauce, DW loves it, and distributed it to friends and neighbours*Snip

Kerfuffle - your post made me feel all Christmasy - don't let some other woman come and snatch OH after all the training you've given him, keep him near to you at all times cos if others find out about him they'll be beating a path to your front door hehe, your day sounded lovely.

I'm still potting bits and so is DH, I've got him well trained now, he comes home and empties his pockets all by himself now!!

Hey Helen,

There's no chance of me letting another woman snatch my man, I've invested too much time in him :rotfl:, though I am debating whether Mrs Sparky will consider a temporary swap (kitchen duties only obviously).:A

Good to hear you've got your guy trained too.

It's about time it started to feel christmassy around here, in less than 2 weeks it's all going to be over :eek:

Have a good one everybody.

I've just received this in an email. so I thought I'd pass it on to you all

Where did the year go? Suddenly it is December......AGAIN - and we realize that with giant strides we started in January and within a blink of an eye, 2009 is almost over!

A big "Thank You” for your friendship, mateship, laughs and memories during 2009.

.Without you, I'm sure that 2009 would have been extremely boring.

From my side I wish you all a magical Festive Season filled with Loving Wishes and Beautiful Thoughts.

May 2010 mark the beginning of a Tidal Wave of Love, Happiness and Bright Futures.

And to those who need someone special, may you find that true love

To those who need money, may your finances overflow

To those who need caring, may you find a good heart

To those who need friends, may you meet lovely people

Should you be driving during this time.....please take care and stay safe!

And please remember if you win Lotto remember who sent you this lovely email

”ho, ho, ho”

Merry Christmas and a Prosperous New Year

Thanks for this Sparks, it made me go all goose-pimpley, and I love the line about " A Tidal Wave of Love".

I'll go buy a lotto ticket, and if I win...........................


Ok, I'll stop there, lol.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

(sorry to snip)

I just wanted to say a really big thank you to you Sue-UU for working so hard keeping this thread going.

For not letting us drift away, and bringing us back when things have gone slack.

For putting all the time and effort that you put into the thread.

For speaking to us every night, in the wee small hours.

For always thinking of encouraging things to say to keep us all motivated.

For always mentioning us in your daily post, and making us feel special and that our input is taken notice of.

For being here and being you.

To Sparks, a massive thank you for being Sue-UU's right-hand man, for keeping tabs on all the totals, for talking to us all and for keeping us all in line.

The thread wouldn't be what it is if it wasn't for you guys.

And to Stunty too, wherever he may be :rotfl:

And of course to all the other members, who keep each other motivated, and without whom there would be no sealed pot challenge.

Well done everybody.:T
