Hello everyone...the masterpiece is finished:j :rotfl: :j...It's no Piccasso, but I think it's pretty good for a first attempt . The daughter's over the moon with it..."Mr. Tumble. Mr. Tumble, Mr. Tumble..." :rotfl: ....I like to think it's a bit like Mr.Tumble, but it met Wallace and Grommit half way . In case your wondering, it started life as a Wallace and Grommit style Martin Lewis, before the daughter decided it should be Mr. Tumble . I'm sure Martin :money: would have shook his head at it anyway, and said, "who is this fool who creates this monstrousity, that looks nothing like me . Ban him from the forum and cast him into the fiery depths (said in a mock film god type way)".

Anyway, a lovely 138 pence for my clown faced pot from the last two days...a bit sad it's finished now ...Need a new project now .

Hope you've all had a good day potting :j :j :j.

Hip hip hooray...about time too. Phew! thank goodness it's not scary although not everyone likes clowns if thats what it is

Your no Van Gogh:rotfl:rotfl::Dbut hey looking good. Well done nu1isit? :T You must have worked so hard..bet your daughter did most of it though...glad there was no more flying debris :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I will give you 7 points for the artwork and 10 0ut of 10 for pure entertainment while you were constructing your masterpiece.:beer:;)

Was standing in town today when a guy walked past and dropped 5p, he looked at it but left it and walked off, was so tempted to go and pick it up but too many people there!!! I really shouldn't care what other people think lol!!

Chicken:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:I bet you will the next time.;)

Fantastic news, Kerry!!!! :TWhat a bonus, still, we should be compensated when they make errors.

Thanks a lot for that, cookanator. Most of us are aware, but many thanks for those who don't and for thinking of us.

WOW, nu1isit? :eek: 16" is pretty darn high, very, very well done indeed!!!

Just a quick 'n again tonight folks, but all being well, I'll be back for longer tomorrow. Take care all and save well.

Always lovely to hear from you Sue whether it be long or short.;)

Sparky are you still working hard? Glad to see you are still awake and not passed out through tiredness. Look after yourself.;)
nu1isit? love the bow tie idea, wish I could see it in action..you are priceless:rotfl::rotfl:

daisygogo sending (((hugs))) to you and your little one. I haven't got any pets but I have friends that do and I know how much they mean to them. Take care.:A

Hi,

Well done nu1isit? on your master piece, would you make me one please?

No only joking, but you have given me inspiration to make one myself, although I'm sure it won't be a master piece. My glass bottle looks a bit boring in comparison, although I can see how much is in it, which when compared to jenyking's isn't a lot. I did get about £120 out last year, so hopefully with all this extra effort it should have more by December.

Only 80p in today!! Hopefully more tomorrow.

May I be added in readiness for emptying the bottle? Hopefully in a few weeks time, would have been less if I'd had the courage to pick up the 8p I saw on the ground this morning It's so difficult when you're exiting a busy Metro station to bend over and pick things up, people are most likely to fall over me.

It's much more exciting to not keep count of what you've saved I reckon :T

Welcome jenyking
Sue will be along later to allocate you a membership number, so welcome to the gang, anjoy the banter and enjoy saving

Yes I'm still working, I'm on day 41 now, looks like there's no O/T at the weekend, so I'll be able to re-charge my batteries ready for the next round, thanks for the concern, it's appreciated
