EEEEEEEKKKKKKKKK.......having a massive panic attack regarding the £50 odd quid I potted the other day and keep having visions which involve knives, upside down sealed tins and me trying to get the money out!!!!!!!!!!!! So, I have done the sensible thing (for me).....and opened the tin and will be going to my bank in the morning to pay it into my account, which by the way, is VERY difficult to get money out of!!!!!!!!
Sorry, I know I have zero will power.....but I know that if it is in the bank I will not be tempted to attack my tin with a knife :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: ( and I will earn a few pence in interest each month!!)
My total banked will be £150:j:j

Hi everyone and Happy New Year!
It was my birthday yesterday, so I didn't think there'd be anything to pot. When I put my coat on though, there was 5p in the pocket so it went straight in the pot!
Nothing to pot today though. It's scary how little there is in the bank left considering it's only the 2nd! :eek:SPC '21 #0750 -

Welcome back all our returnees and welcome to our new potters. Good to have you in the family.
