"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

BlueCow1975

A nice shiny 50p plonked in the pot this morning. These high winds are driving me nuts as I can hear wind whistling down the chimney at night and it keeps me awake!! The in laws had a tree fall in their garden that totally wrecked the wall.

I am not one for wishing time away, but will be welcoming lighter nights and warmer (ok......only by a couple of degrees!) weather!!

Well done, Jen_Jen, you've made a start, your little one too!

Hi Charlotte, to answer your question. Go to the bar above and between the middle and the right is "Thread Tools" click there and it will give you the choice to subscribe or not. It's the best thing to do, especially until you get used to things.

All the best and any other queries, please just ask, we're only too glad to help.

Sorry BlueCow, we clashed so good job you didn't have horns! . Your poor In-laws, still better than the house for certain!

Is there nothing you can do to stop the whistling ie opening the door or shutting it?? I must confess to loving the wild elements, but always think (have a prayer) for those who have to be out in it. That whistling would drive me mad...turn the house round to avoid it! I know, shut up!

Do we keep our last numbers even though it's now challange 5?

Last year I managed to get about £300 by August and it paid for the family to have a week break away together.
This year we have a baby due about the same time so a similar sum would certainly help!

I will be reusing my papier mache piggie I maid last year as I only had to "elongate" the opening a little to raid it, repairable I sould easily think

Hi Sue, I'd like to join in.

I don't have a target as such, but would like to see how it mounts up.

Good luck everyone!

afternoon all:beer:
have changed my total from £500 to £1000 as off to New York for a Hen Weekend sometime later in the year....a good incentive as I am NOT being left behind!
All was going well, lots of odds and ends going in, now hit a dry spell, but never fear...I will be potting again soon!

Just thought I would say Happy New Year to everyone. I have not put very much in our tin as we are going to London for a few days this month. I don't count what I put in as it spoils the moment for me. Hope everyone had a lovely Christmas and New Year and are not feeling as fat as I am. I joined Weight Watchers today again!!!!! but this will be my year. I will lose 30 lbs but save loads of pounds.

Thank you to Sparky and Sue I think I have worked out how to leave my signature-I am a bit thick. Hope it works!!!

You keep your original number, can you imagine Sue allocating a new number to everyone at the start of the next challenge? The poor girl would go loopy

Welcome RedGoose
Sue will be along soon to allocate you a number, pop over to page 1 post 1 and have a read of the challenge rules and when you get your number please pop it into your signature, it helps when we do the Grand Total at the end of the challenge so we know who's declared their totals.
