Sealed Pot Challenge 5 ~ Part 2

roguexuk

Hi all
I haven't been potting the last couple of weeks as I had my Mum's birthday and the South of England show to go to.
But I'm happy to say that I came back from the show with £40. So £20 went back into my going out fund & £20 went into my sealed pot along with my 5p roadkill

I hope the probs with your neighbours get sorted out Sparky.

A few more small ones landed in my work tin this evening. My £2 tin is getting very full too am rather looking forward to getting it totally full so I can empty it and see how much is in there - my sister filled a similar sized tin with £2 coins a while back and had just short of £1k in it when she opened it up.

Well it cant be worse than my attempt at a home made pot, one of those plastic tubs that old fashioned sweets are stored in, in sweet shops with a hole cut in the lid, a ton of cellotape round the neck and covered in a piece of paper saying 'bratfinks uniform fund!' :rotfl: If your going down the papier mache route, you want to talk to our Nu1isit, the creator of Mr Tumble the 2nd :rotfl:

Hi Madz

If you want to go up market from Jakes-mum you could copy mine it's an empty cheese football tub and it hasn't even got it's lid any more!!!:rotfl::rotfl:

Please Please do NOT copy NU1ISIT's that's a very bad idea!!

Hi Jakes-Mum

How are your little darlings ? My son son has three uniforms to buy this year :eek: A little tie on elastic £3.99 for the 4 year old!! and of course only one shop stocks it. School cost a fortune these days he pays out £23 for dinners and that only cover two of them and one day for the little one and of course this term it will be days out term. A trip to the local farm bargain £30 bring your own lunch :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Think I might go into the school outings business.

Have you noticed how quiet Sue and Sparky are think they must be in shock over how lovely we are.:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Hi Everyone

Well a really busy day have got to go out with my friend for lunch to a very nice garden center very near SPARKY's workplace!

Back after a weeks leave; how is everyone getting on potting?

Despite this bad weather I have been constantly sailing! Even entered my first race!

Banked another £36 on Saturday. I'm over half-way- wooo!

OK, so the challenge is over half-way as well, but I'm going in the right direction!
