    Good evening fellow potters...what a lovely day its been the sun had got its hat on today...all be it a tad cold.

    So glad I have found this thread, its making me think twice about spending and I too am getting obsessed with potting in my pot who will now be called Rosie as its an old roses tin and not from last christmas either. :D

    Ditto Footiemad

    I'm getting obsessed too. I even went on a long dog walk to see what goodies I might find on my travels, but it started to get too dark to find anything. Must take a torch with me tomorrow ;) ..Wonder if they do portable flood lights :rotfl:

    It's also making me think twice about spending so much, that I think I might become a tight so and so..

    AZ xx

    Finally made my first contribution to the sealed pot today as I finally got round to buying one! Three pounds (sorry no pound sign). I'll be adding any one pounds or two pounds left at the end of the evening when girlies had any dinner money she needs for the next day.
    Hope it's all going well for everyone x
