    Uh Oh, I unsealed the "sealed pot" this morning and removed £3:(However, I did replace it with a £5 note :j so a plus of £2 for the pot!! And in my defence I only dipped into it as I need 5 £1 coins for monday for the scan machine at the hospital, when i go for my 20 Week scan!!!!!!! Need to get pics of Little Bean for the Grandparents! Excited!!!!!!!!! :D

    On the downside, I still haven't been paid my expenses from work :mad: despite them promising it would be this week. So another £70 train needs to be found.

    But to end on a positive, I have sold my Beauty Therapy couch for £20, so that will go in the pot when i get the cash. :)

    Hope you all have good plans for the weekend

    Wow!!!! I am very impressed with your bottle!! How long have you been saving??

    I've had the bottle for about 20years but I only really managed to get to the first lion. My fiance and I moved in together in Jan 2008 and we've both been contributing since then.

    :wave: :wave: Hello Potters

    Its been a few days, busy with work and other things, been so tired, my eyes wouldn't stay open long enough to catch up. Started reading last night and fell asleep, not that it was a boring read honest :rotfl::rotfl: eyes just gave up the fight. Well done on the potting everyone. :j Its all looking good for 1st Dec.

    Hope you can rid of that nasty cough soon Sue you must be feeling awful and its turned so cold again.

    Well I am off for the next 3 days, but busy saturday and sunday with netball, I never seem to stop. Stopping at home today to catch up with bits and pieces.

    I have managed to feed Rosie £3.20 in silver and coppers though for the past 3 days. May need to pop out little to get a couple of bits so will hopefully pot something later.

    Can't believe its the weekend again, where is the time going 4th day of March already.

    Hope everyone is having a good day.

    Hey Bex

    Hey Bex

    thats not shameful, there are quite a few of us that just pot and have no idea what the grand total is or how much we pot. The main thing is to keep potting for the pot of gold in December. I am sure thats what Sue and many others will tell you. :D;)
