    Hello Thehardway and welcome to the madhouse :cool:

    If theres anything you need to know please just ask - you would be amazed at some of the answers you can find on here! In fact I'm wondering whether MSE could be a specialist subject on mastermind :

    (Famous music plays as the camera pans round onto Jakesmum as she walks towards the leather chair) dn dn dn duuuun dun dn....

    "and now we welcome to the chair Jakesmum:T
    occupation: - fantastically fervent moneysaving superfan, sig jacker and star polisher

    specialist subject: sealed pots and their contents since 2011"

    Ok ok I'll calm down and stick to the thread.......

    £4.20 potted today in survey payout.

    Happy potting everyone!

    Hi folks, a bit of a lapse since last time, but DH & I had a lovely day out on Thursday. :love:
    A very warm welcome, TheHardWay, it's lovely to have you with us. biggrin.gif Enjoy yourself saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 4 of page 1. Please read through post 1 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge.

    Please pop your numbers on your sigs, it helps so very much.

    TheHardWay, it's good to hear the kiddies are helping you with the pot, they'll love it.

    Thanks for the welcome, jakes-mum, less of the 'darling' though as I know darn well you don't mean that, but better than some things you've put in the past! BTW, go too much OTT and they'll think they don't need to read the 1st page, we can't have that or there are other things that'll be missed. ;)

    Well done on your sale, Kerry, very good indeed.

    I'm so pleased you're back in the saddle, Janey! It's been a while since I was, but I also really loved it, nothing quite like it to my mind, total freedom and love to sound of those hooves below! :j

    So sorry to hear about your rheumatoid arthritis, Oops, it must hinder many things in life for you.

    A brilliant joke, sparky and I've never heard it before. Best keep it cut regularly so they can see each other! :j


    As always little_sweetie, wishing you and hubby's eyes well and a good recovery for both of the latter.

    Kylie, you guessed it, you're definitely getting carried away gal.

    By heck, it's been quiet here recently, where is everyone?! I know it normally goes that way, but there are so many of us these days. Ah well, enjoy yourselves folks.
    Have a lovely weekend everyone.

    Welcome TheHardWay, we always have room for another potter :D

    Our darling Sue-UU, the keeper of the thread and gold stars (for when we are good) will be along at some point to allocate you your very own one of a kind, not to be duplicated, shared or discarded, glittery number :j :j She will also ask you to read the very first post that tells you lots of very important information.

    Grab yourself a pot or anything else that can be sealed and have a hole cut in it for coins (we have had some very scarey attempts at homemade pots, so if you attempt it you MUST post a pic as we all like to see :D)

    Its entirely up to you how you wish to 'pot', there are those of us who pot and dont open till the official opening date (or as near as we can manage as we are an impatient bunch) those that bank at various intervals through the year (if you do this please add what you bank to your siggy for Mr 'Road Kill' Sparky our official counter upper), those that 'pay' themselves for things they dont really want to do . . eg: a £1 for every gym visit, I think you get the drift ;)

    But however you do it, feel free to post and tell us what your doing, what youve potted, things that annoy you . . we are a very nosey and like to know the ins and out of a cats . . . . :rotfl:

    What!!! All that and NO star!!!!:eek::eek::eek:
