    Hi Ladybird! So are you saying you'd like to become a member? We'd love to have you with us if you do.

    If it's plastic you're cutting a hole into, it shouldn't be too difficult with a sharp knife, just be careful not to do it when you're a little excited!

    Can you tidy the cut up a bit? If not is it possible to start again - and go gently this time! :)

    Most of us count what we've managed to save each day/week etc, but take no notice and leave it so it's a surprise at the end of November.

    Do I put you down as a member???

    All the very best, Sue x

    Any tips for making holes in plastic lids? :o



    Hello!

    Just a thought - have you any old nail files or sand paper kicking about so you can smoothe the edges? (would hate you to rip the £50 notes as they slide in!):rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    A toast to you and all newbies.:beer:...May your potting career be long and happy and your posts not as potty as some (whose names will not be mentioned because you know who you are!!)
