    Put this post on the wrong thread. Was directed here by Crimson.Addict.

    Can you add me to the list for the next year? 7 days is a bit short on time for me to join this round.

    My girlfriends sister gave me a sealed tin in July for my birthday so I have sort of been doing this challenge without knowing this thread/idea existed. I have no idea what I have in the pot. I put all my spare change in. My target is around £1500 so I can pay for my girlfriend to go back to college to study veterinary nursing. She has no idea that is what it is for. I've said its for a new to my car for myself.

    Cannot wait to officially join in!

    Awwww how lovely is that. Bet she'll be chuffed to bits. :D

    On potting news £2 for me and 50p into little mans money box.

    Oooo and edited to say Sue will be along to give you your very own SPC number, and if you can read over post 1 it'll give you all the rules and answer any questions you may have.

    Welcome and enjoy potting.... :D
