    I have a problem with my pot. I can tip the money out. :( Which means I'm reluctant to put money back in there because I just end up tipping it back out again. Eurgh.


    New pot me thinks. Watch out the elusive pot inventor may be lurking with some good advice...:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:But I am sure there will be someone along to help soon. In the mean time just don't tip it.;)

    Your welcome Sparky ;)My school report says must try harder when looking for roadkill. Nose too far off the ground to find it.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Any tips for a beginner:D

    Morning Footiemad
    1st tip stay in front of me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    2nd tip take care how many people are behind you when you bend down to scoop any road change up :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Do you know I actually believe him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Morning LC2

    Is it too late for me to join. I failed miserably last year, and ended up breaking into it. Things are better this year, I've bought a metal moneybox that you can only open with a can opener.

    I've just put £2 in. Not a lot, but a start.

    I would like to set a target of £150 please. Thanks in advance. :)

    Welcome to the 4th successful year of Sealed pot challenge. It's never too late to join the gang, so consider yourselves a part of something special. Sue will be along later, if she can get back online her t'interweb is playing up. She'll allocate you a membership number and tell you the rules of the challenge.

    Enjoy being with us :D

    Morning all

    Just potted 2 x £1 coins. Looks lovely out - cold and frosty - but nice and bright and sunny.

    I can tell its going to be on of those days where I have to be here there and everywhere all at the same time - good job I'm a woman and can multi-task eh:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Must go now and make a start.

    Take care everyone.

    Hi Everyone

    About £5 went in to my pot today sent Mr LC 2 to Mr M's

    He can't understand why a strange man keeps giving him food .

    But he hopes it continues :rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello to you. The Potters madhouse is in full swing but there is still a long way to go.:rotfl::rotfl:;)

    Thanks. I really want to do it this year. My circumstances changed from when I started last year, so wasn't able to complete, but things are a lot better for me now.

    I'm going to be putting money that would have been wasted on unnecessaries in my pot. You know the couple of £ that you think, I'll just buy that chocolate bar, mag, etc with will be going in the pot (unless I really want said choc/mag). I'm not putting coppers in, they can go in my daughters piggy bank.

    Just emptied a load of change from the bottom of my bag into my pot! :D:j
