    Hello Flopper :wave: welcome to the only challenge worth potting on, the fabulous SP5 with the equally fabulous potters (though obv LC2 and I are the most fabulous, and well behaved of the group as can be seen through alot of the potters sigs :D) talk to us, we are nosey and like to know all about everything :D Watch out for Sue-Uu our fearless leader, shes a nice enough old girl but shes got a mean right hook if you forget to read the first page or even worse :eek: dont put your number in your sig :eek:
    Sparky is our resident counter upper (and roadkill hoover) so if you take any money out of your pot to bank etc he will ask ever so nicely if you will pop that amount in your sig for him as it makes his life that bit easier, and we all like him to be a happy soul :)

    Other than that, grab something sealed/sealable and stick some coins in it and your away :j :j

    Hello everyone :D...

    A glorious 80p for the pot today :j...I tried to share a piece of cake with the littlest earlier :D, it was a battle I was guaranteed to lose :p :rotfl: :p. I don't think she's grasped the idea of sharing fully yet :D :rotfl: :D...At least she's not like the DW...a big bit of cake for her, a slightly smaller piece of cake - with a bit nicked of the side for you :eek:...

    Sorry LC I nearly choked on my cup of tea :D

    just baked a choccie chip cake and as previous attempts, they have all sanked to the bottom.... same when I do cherry cake. It did still take good tho! :D especially warm from t'oven!

    mishmogs, a great little tip this - with all dried fruit, glac! cherries and choccie chips etc; coat each in flour first before you add them to the mixture and you'll find them evenly distributed.:grinheart

    I'd have been the best behaved of the lot, little_sweetie. Have a lovely time.

    Of course you can join Flopper. Sue will be along shortly to give you a number. Please read page 1 so that you know the ins and outs of everything. Make sure you keep us updated with how you think you are doing cause we are all very nosey haha. Most of all though, smile and stay away from LC2 and Jakes-Mum. I think that is a common rule on the board :D

    Splendidly put, Ruth!!!! Yes, you've earned your 2nd star. :staradmin

    Congratulations on passing your test!!! Life's passport to so much independence...after you've bought the care..paid up the insurance..and (if applicable) the tax! :eek: Always travel safely!

    So lovely for you to see you little GGS, LC 2, little corker. :A Please have a cuddle for me next time, ta.

    You're not kidding, jakes-mum, I'd have been demanding an armed guard when seeing you get anywhere near the PO!!! :(

    Oh sparky, that was well seen re LC's tea bags, well seen indeed for an R...soul. :rotfl:

    That was enough to make a Saint choke oh his tea, eh nu1isit? :rotfl: I hope you're all feeling much better now, especially your DW.
    Have a lovely Thursday folks.

    Anyone wishing to join, please just ask, you're more than welcome, it's never too late.
