    Fantastic total for last year, let's see if we can beat it this year.

    Just been out with the dogs, bloomin' roadsweepers must have sucked up any roadkill. Makes me want to cry when I think of all the coins rattling round in those machines instead of being safe and sound in our pots. :cry:

    I've had nothing to pot for ages, mainly because I haven't been shopping. Haven't spent at all this year!:rotfl:

    Welcome, welcome, welcome to all our new potty friends. :D

    Hello to all potters old and new. Hope everyone had a good Christmas and New Year.
    £4.60 change fed to the pot today. It's still got a hungry empty sound to it though. Unfortunately no-one in my house leaves money lying around - they learned too quick for my liking :D

    Afternoon all, banked £24 today from holding pot. found 1p on stairs & 5p in Asda's door way people were just walking over it but not me bent over to pickup stoping all Traffic both ways with my big bum then people look at you to see what you have picked up lol.

    Oh what a brilliant tale, skilly, I could picture that so well!!! :rotfl:Perhaps people thought you were clearing up after a fouling dog!! When you say you've banked £24 (fantastic!!) do you mean from banked it from your SP or put it in your SP from your HP?? I suppose if I'd looked at your siggy it might have told me, but...! :undecided

    Not you frisking again too, mossy!! :D

    Hi allym464, as you're already a member (though I think you realise it) there's no need to rejoin, the list of members is carried over each new SPC year. Your No is 1374, could you please pop it on your siggy. Also could you pop your Total on SPC 5 the previous thread here for me, please.Thanks a lot.

    Hi Modesty, I really do hope so! Re the roeadsweepers....why not walk just ahead of them!

    Good pottings, LunaLady!!

    We had a lovely time thanks, rasp, and you? Happy New Year! Mine still sounds far too empty for my liking. All in good time, I guess. :(

    Thanks for having me! I've since emptied all the other 1p and 2ps from random unsealed pots into the new #1962. There were even a few shiny 5ps so I'm on my way.
