    Thanks crimson.addict - I have now read through the first post and am quite tempted to extract the moey with a knife - but I'm not very patient :D it's a long way off though...

    I'm so sorry everyone but things are really difficult here financially so I had to raid my Pot and spend it all on Food Shopping...I didn't know what else to do...

    I'll understand if you don't want me to join in anymore... :( But I hope I am still welcome...I promise I'll try to do better!!

    Anyway...I've started again with 29p....I can but try....

    Aww bless ya, as Crimson.addict and Sue said don't give it another thought!! Thank goodness you had some money potted away that you were able to use!! ;)

    Hope you're soon able to refill your pot. :happyhear

    Well, you've got your No on, Paddles, good for you as it's good for us. I'm pleased you're contemplating using a knife to extract your cash, it's relatively easy...more exciting too! :j DH & I did that with all our £600 + .......found muscles that we never knew about, but it was brilliant!! :D

    Welcome all those who have found this challenge recently and those returning :wave: I think everyone should have a sealed pot its suprising how quickly those potted pennies add up :T

    I have a question : Can i add £5 that i won on a scratchcard today? I actually won £10 so decided to keep half and see if i can pot the other half

    My pot is a secret pot, the OH and Kids don't know i have it, im hoping to suprise them all next year :D

    I totally agree, AlTeREgO, everyone should have a pot, just think how good at it kiddies would become! Your cash will be a wonderful surprise for all the family next November, I did the same with mine the first year, lots of others have done too. YES! It's perfectly ok to pop your scratch card winnings in. Well done!! :T
