"Sealed Pot Challenge 5"

jakes-mum

Thank you to the poster of the link about the terramundi style pots DS (bless his little heart) wanted to buy me a terramundi for christmas with his £5 budget, he has been scouring ebay secretly and got me to drive him to town to visit clintons, but couldnt find one within his budget , well I called him downstairs to show him them and he said 'mum can you order me one?' so there is a mummy one winging its way here that he assures me I will have forgotten all about by christmas morning :rotfl:

another 35p in the pot as well from his wallet as he had to give me his chirstmas spending money

Hope you're all keeping wrapped up and warm.

When you say you can't bank it - do you mean it doesn't completely make up the amount a bag is meant to take? That doesn't matter - you can bank any amount of loose change. You can bank £3.80 of 10p coins, or 4.85 of 5p coins, or £13 of £1 coins etc.

There's no requirement to bank complete bag-fulls of coins. The bank will just weigh the bags and give you the amount that's in them. As long as you don't mix the coins in each bag, you're fine.

Not sure if that's what you mean though, it's late and I'm not feeling the brightest.

Thanks P&F, I didn't realise I could bank any amount! Thanks very much

Good Lord Sue Did you type all that :eek: or are you still using your text to talk thingummy jig? If you are using that your jaw's going to be aching :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

How dare you, sparky!!!!!:( I'm shocked (am I heck as like as some things never change! This afternoon I typed to try to get the hand going, but it doesn't want to and hurts so much so now it's back to the text to talk thingummy jig. .

Of course you can have another go, caracara, put it this way..I'd already banked on it!!!

So long as it's sealed and part pretty (or not) is all that counts, zafiro1984, so long as OH doesn't try dipping in!

Brilliant RVK2.

You trying to get your DH to only use YOUR pot, ModestyB???? Excellent news!!! No idea about the pots in Clintons (far too posh for he UUs!) but they really appealed to me for some of the family.

stressedshopper, the ones I bought are perfect for all we need, especially for eldest GS who's 16 next year, got him a brilliant car one which I KNOW he'll cherish! :grinheartThank you again so much! You can still be a member even though you bank regularly, many do, but up to you entirely.

Whooppee, lingojingo, a marvellous find. :j

A tenner's good for certain, recurrent-ostric!

No good, catwoman...I've bagged that £2..it's mne..mine..mine!!!

What a really lovely post, laisbojar83, you're becoming very shrewd..and yes, addicted, but so caring too! :A

Wonderful news, jakes-mum that you & I will both have similar(ish) pots on Christmas Day, I adore them. Bless your Jake. :A

Ameretto is an almond liquor and is very morish Sue. Mine is Ald# version, I think it is now called Diserono or something like that. Highly recommended.:T
Have a lovely evening. Can't believe where the night has gone.;)

Very well done, xox-lozzy though would love to know how you pronounce your name???

My user name is deceiving! my real names Lauren and Lozzy is my nickname from school. When I joined the site a couple of years ago before I started uni I never really thought I would get involved! So when thinking of a username I just put xox infront of it.

Sue-UU

Thanks so much for that, mumof3plusoh.DH & I barely drink at all, but at Christmas I always think it would be nice to have something other than a veeery weak shandy. Almond sounds good though so, we'll see..and I'll certainly let you know if I like it - or if I don't! Just noticed you have your Christmas tree up! Must soon do ours too.

Aha...I see exactly what you mean now, lozzy (that's better ) thanks so much for explaining that one as it really baffled me, though it never takes a lot.

Night and take care, both,

Sue x
