Afternoon all,
Just posted my final total on the old thread, and popped over here to see if I can join the new challenge please. CAN I HAVE A NUMBER PLEASE SUE?
I have not decided on a target yet, but will give it some thought and report back.
Very dark and wet outside - I think we might get snow, brrrSealed pot Challenge 2011 member No 1241 - Final total £154.21

Good afternoon Sue & Potters,
Please can I sign up for this, it is a cracking idea and will hopefully stop me from dipping in my jar as it is but only for silver & £s, and ended up with 2 shoebox full of coppers - can I cheat and use these? Although I might need a bigger jar haha
I think I will start with a conservative £200

Alex, it's not cheating at all, you're one of us and you save ALL the money you have..unless your real name's Branson..or any of the B's etc! It's not cheating and many have asked in the passed so you carry on :grinheart
Ah ceecee1, you go ahead and buy a balloon though you'll possibly need to buy about a hundred of them t get your 1!! :mad: So, what a great idea to have a cash cow..that's me in our house.

Well back from collecting and it was freeeeeeeeeeeeeeezing. I had 4 layers on and my thick boot socks and boots.
Was hopping about to stay warm. A very nice man from the Christmas tree section came over and gave me a hot mulled wine and an hour later a mince pie. How kind was that.:D
Think people felt sorry for mum and I as they were very generous.:beer:
I had £2 in change in my purse and when I emptied the washer I found a lone 1p. So potted today is £2.01
Off out for tea at mum and dad's with the kids. DH is at work so one plated up for him when he gets in at 7.30.
Will check in later to see how everyone is.:T[SIZE=2]SPC4 #1395 Aug 11 £135.75/£150
