    Well another day is done and some more bits for Rosie (an old roses tin) :D

    £1.50 in silver today and it includes 5p kitchenkill!! I found it lurking on the side at work. Swift move it was too!! :rotfl: :rotfl: Still looking for my first roadkill though :o

    Congratulations on the 2Lb loss, Footiemad!!!!! :T:T Keep it up - or down?!!!! :D Thanks Sue definitely want the llbs in weight to go down and the £'s in my tin to go up :D:D and its all on track and nearly at the end of Jan, how quickly the time is passing.
    So up for this challenge putting more away and emptying my purse in the right way :j
    Welcome to the mad house of potters to all you newbies and good luck and happy potting to the rest of you.

    Until tomorrow, night night all.

    Well payday today so stuck £5 in as a bonus - then 77p from the purse. Off to see family for the next couple of days so taking an envelope with me to fill up each night with my change to shove in the pot when I get back! Got into the habit of emptying the purse each night got to keep it up or I'll forget about it!!
    At least the fish fingers are still frozen, that's what I keep telling myself (Truly Madly Deeply)

    A lovely 60p for the pot tonight....[STRIKE]plucked[/STRIKE] rescued from the loving wife's shrapnel section in the purse :D.
    To answer your previous post Sue U-U, I got them all back alive and in one piece :rotfl:...That included the dog; who's stole my spot on the sofa :eek: - he's moving soon, he just doesn't know it yet :D:rotfl::D.
    The pot's coming along nicely, it's weirdly relaxing this paper mache malarkey :p...Got the first few layers on, and it seems to be going well, don't want to say too much as I may jinx it. Especially after the last little 'accident' **coughs***...best to forget about that and brush it under the carpet :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:.
    Hope you've all had a good day searching for the silver :beer:. Night...

    Hello all,
    The rain has finally stopped, thank goodness. My roof leaks and I have to find £450.00 for repairs.
    Fortunately, there's last year's sealed pot money put away, so thank heavens for this challenge, eh?
    Just when I think I'm making headway, too.:(

    Morning oopalah

    Morning youngmummy
    Try giving your DP a Chinese burn for breaking into your pot, that'll teach the cad :D. Of course you're allowed to restart, there are no rules against that, we just want to encourage saving ;)
