    I have added money to the pot and so has the OH, although he puts in any spare change he has, so I have to count how much is in the pot so I know what the total is. Will try to get him to tell me how much he has put in, so I don't have to do this. Am glad though that he is now adding to this, although most of what I was adding before was his money that had fallen on the floor, sofa, etc. Total is now £48.80.

    Have a great Sunday everyone.

    We must have clashed, skaps. Unless it matters to you then you never need to be exact with money saved as we go along,it's just to help keep us motivated. You're doing very well whatever you think. ;)

    Have managed to pot £5.50 today. :j:j:j

    Welcome to all the Newbies.

    And to tinks112, Sue will be along to give you a number, so you will then be a part of our cult and there will be no getting away. Mwa ha ha ha haaa. :D Also if you look through the first post it will give you all the rules and regs. But you can always ask questions too. But all you have to do is pot as much or as little as you can and as often or as infrequently as you want, then pop on here and let us know as we are a very nosey bunch. :rotfl:
    And £46 odd is not bad for only a few weeks potting. Well done on that.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend all.

    OK .... seriously though :eek:

    How do you get stars? are they awarded or do they automatically accrue after a set period of time/number of posts/thank yous?? I'm really looking forward :oto converting from a convert to a stalwart:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Hello Sue-UU and everyone doing the sealed pot 5 challenge,

    I was wondering if I could possibly join the challenge please? I don't want to set a target - I'll be happy with whatever I manage to collect. Looking forward to joining in the fun - this looks like a lively thread!

    They're only given out for acts of kindness, helpfulness, lovely welcomes to our latest members etc, Kylie, though I'm surprised you hadn't picked up on that by now. (I dunno..some folk:idea:) BTW..tis the boss that gives them out. :happylove

    Make no mistake about it, folkses, these stars are coveted and I don't give them out unless there's a reason so non sarcastic welcomes win me over every time. :grinheart

    VERY good Keza! A £10er's always a lovely amount to stash away.

    Not to worry suvla, at least you've got some saved.

    Very well done, Saramond. Bet the kiddies weren't disappointed either.
    Sue x

    Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.
    Please read the 1st post on Page 1 first so you know what's what.

    I think Kylie was actually talking about the MSE stars under her user name ;). If she was, Kylie you get them for a certain number of posts, cant remember what you need for 2 but 3 was 1000 posts I think and 4 stars is 2000 posts.

    (though obv Sue-UU's stars are even more coveted as only certain lovely people get them :D)

    Welcome to our lovely newbies :wave: make sure you talk to us as we do so love the gossip :D
