    Hi kirsty1971,

    Don't worry about it just being 5p, it does soon add up. It adds up to a massive 40000.00+

    Sparks - I know you're busy, but I was wondering if it's not too much trouble, if you could calculate an average based on the number of active potters that have posted their totals.

    I think it's an awesome total, and it seemed to me reading through the posts that a lot of people (me included) hadn't potted as much as they'd have liked - so I think it's a doubly impressive achievement considering that a lot of people have struggled this year.

    A massive pat on the back to everybody who took part, and an especially big hug to both Sue and Sparks for all your hard work.

    You guys are awesome. :T

    Hiya kerfuffle
    Happy to oblige. The average works out at £357.38 for 112 declarations :D

    Another question for you, sparky, is that me you were referring to in the "wise" piece above??;) It certainly is true in life though, keep open-minded folks, all the time.

    Of course, it's you! :D I didn't realise I'd pasted so many copies on the post, the lettering didn't show up :o

    Hi Sparks

    Lol, I figured you would have done all this on a spreadsheet, as Sue said.. Honestly, I'm not that cruel to make you go through it all again, but then again........mwah ha ha ha

    Well, I gotta say if the average is 357.38 then my 98.66 is way down :rotfl:

    Must try harder :o

  • Good morning all :D Hope everyone is well :)

    Potted more last night and will have the change from the milkman tonight to put in there too. Not potting much yet becuase this is NSD number 14 :jSo bad for the sealed pot but good for the bank balance :p
  • Morning everyone,

    Have made a start and have put some change in to my demi-john. There was some change in there already and I'm unsure how much I put in this morning...too early and not awake lol.

    Happy saving everyone. x
