    Sue: Thanks :) i'm looking forward to starting. And I was gutted, but a fool, lived in a shared house and one of my most 'trusted' housemate's went away with it! It was two nights before I was due to leave so not much could be done about it :(

    But I have learnt my lesson and now have a safe in my bedroom which will contain the little pots you can buy and I'll bank those as I go :) Life is too short to worry about what is lost :)

    Sue well I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

    I got myself in a right tiz in the Post Office this lunchtime. Broadgate has two of those quick post machines and I had two parcels to post but one had to be tracked (n.b. have now learnt these machines don't do tracking). Whilst I was queuing I spied a shiny copper by one of the machines, but I was 6 people back in the queue. I stood there for twenty agonising minutes until it was my turn willing noone to pick it up/notice it and also willing the queue to work in such a way that I ended up with that machine.
    Thankfully, my willing worked and I plonked my Mr S bag4life over the top of the copper and posted my parcel. When I'd finished I grabbed the Mr S bag, and swooped down for the copper.
    1p roadkill phew!

    Thanks, yes there is a B&M reasonable nearby so I can have a look in there. I'm not sure I know what a 'sealed pot' looks like when it's 'official'..I shall have a look online at a terramindis and see what it is.
