    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....

    Hello Potters :D

    Declaring 11p from yesterday and 12p from today....yeah :p :rotfl: :p.
    We finally got the tree up, but had to get a new one. On a good note - got it for fifteen pounds less than it had been, a week ago :j. I think it's because all the sensible people, have their trees up already :eek: :D :eek:. Just tight misers like me that hadn't :rotfl:. However, it wouldn't have been complete, without the big DD's beautifully crafted home-made Angel :D (don't laugh LC, it's the trying that counts :p).

    Happy Potting everyone :j.

    Hi NU1ISIT :wave:

    If your DD made it I'm sure it's lovely, It's the things you make that worry me :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
    I do hope someone buys you a pot so you don't need to make one . There again the image of you covered in paper mache still makes me laugh :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: SORRY!!

    :D Yeah Sue...she and her crafty mammy, made it three years ago, so it has to go on the tree every year now :D. I'll see if I can get a photo on at a later date.
