Hi, that's fine glitchb*tch I usually bank any money for items sold as we go along and show it on my signature then total it in on pot opening time. It amounted to £50 for SPC5 which was almost half my total so it's well worth doing. Sue-uu will be along soon to give you your very own number ('cos she's our lovely leader and jollies us all along nicely ) Please do read post #1 carefully which explains everything. optimistic-mummy and loveasale will you please do the same and sue will sort you out too. A big WELCOME to the 3 of you and any other Newbies I have missed. Do come along and enjoy the banter

Today I have discovered 70p in a handbag I haven't used for a while....potted! :j Must start moving furniture in my pre Christmas clean up. Who knows what I might find

Ker-ikey Sue-uu now you can speak French :eek::eek: Is there no end to this woman's talents?

I have persuaded DH that we need to save some £2 coins for a holiday next year so I have found one of the children's abandoned money boxes (Pooh Bear actually ) and we will use that. It's not sealed but I think we will be disciplined enough not to meddle with it if it means a nice holiday in 2013.... The man of the house has started it off with one coin, bless him.

Have a lovely evening all and stay warm :xmassmile

Good evening fellow potters, hope you are all keeping warm:)

Nothing potted today, but havent spent anything either so thats good :T

Lunar Lady and Lady V: that's the trouble with being good - you have less for the pot! Either way , you're a winner!

Have emptied my purse several times now and fed small change into my pig, found 6p at the bottom of an old handbag - going to rummage in all handbags in the house to see what I can find.

optimistic-mummy, I hope you won't me that I've given you No1896 due to a minor glitch. Many thanks.

You're welcome, Helen, though I'm still sure I see myself in that piccie...ah well.

Hi Sue

I'm already no 18 so can you strike my new number out please? Or could someone else have the new number to keep the numbers straight?

Really sorry xx:o

kittie, that's not a problem at all. You stick to your original No (we keep the same Nos always) and I've given the other to a very co-operative member! :grinheart All's well and no apology necessary. Target put to No 18 too.

Hi little_sweetie, thanks so much for sorting the 'money for sales' out with g-b, it helps a lot. Well done on saving the £2s and bless your DH for kick-starting it!! Not quite right with the French, I'm learning it. I went to Germany with our lass a few years ago and loved learning German, then T & I along with our lad and his Wife went to France in 2009. Again the need to learn some of the language kicked in and I've been learning slowly since 2010. I love both languages and love learning them. Work in progress though!
