    Just a quick update.

    Sealed pot number 2 is now full and weighs 4.02kg :D

    Pot 3 started today :j

    I think I may open both full pots and bank the money. It has just occured to me that I could have close to £500 sitting in my house all neatly potted for a thief to pick up and walk out with. Has anybody got an opinion on whether I should? If I do bank the money, I will not spend it and it will still be there on 1 December.

    I will be back on Friday.

    Well done on two full pots Melgirl.

    I dont blame you. My friend pointed this out to me the other day too, but I have no idea whats in my tin :D

    I think Sparky would tell you to just update your sig with the amount you bank so that he can count it towards the totals at the end.
    If I am wrong then I am sure he will put you right. Others are banking as they go along too.;)

    Right, I am back.

    I have counted both pots and will bank the money over the next few days. I am only allowed to bank 5 bags of money per day in my bank :(

    There was £40.81 that would not fit neatly into the plastic bags so I have transferred £40,81 from my current account to my savings and put the change in pot number 3.

    The pots contained £414.81 in total. I will update my sig now :)

    See ya all on Friday xx
