    Few bits potted over weekend and if its lucky my pot may well get a few pennies tonight too. I sold some books this weekend too, one I loved and have had it years, its 50 years old, but money is money so off to the new owner it goes. When it clears in paypal I shall be using half of it to have a much needed hair cut plus I owe my DS a little too, and the rest will be joining its friends in Mr Pot.
      To those who are given much, much is expected

        I handed my work in this morning with a special circumstances form so hopefully I can have my full marks awarded. My tutor was quite hopeful when I got him to sign it earlier :)

        I decided to go for a swim on the way back home but embarrassingly I think I've been too enthusiastic and potted my "locker pound" so I had to split a note at reception. So there's another £4 potted today :)

      3. Thank you for my shiny new star Sue :j Hope you are feeling much better now too.
        I discovered that my local shop had given me an old 50p with my change :mad: tried to give it in at another shop this morning but they wouldn't take it...but i just looked on ebay and the same design 50p (the D-Day landings) recently fetched £2.20, so it might be a blessing in disguise!

        Ooo...I didn't realise that some 50p pieces are no longer legal tender :shocked: Still, it could work in your favour thatclaregirl ...must look out for one ;)

        Just potted 71p It would have been more but I took DD for a hospital appointment this morning and it cost £3 to park for just over an hour :mad: Bleddy rip off charges (double yellows on the street) aarrgghh

        Happy potting everyone x

        You'll know the old 50ps when you see them. They're MASSIVE!! Much bigger and thicker.

        A gold star for you too, Monkeyballs, :staradmin for all your valuable As!a help. I haven't looked at it yet, but definitely will do. :D Thank you and thanks so much for thinking around the DFW side of it with folk who may be a little too tempted at a time when they're barely keeping their heads above water. :kisses3: ....and there was I never thinking I'd be kissing monkeyballs!! :eek:

        Mwah! Back at ya Sue!

        Sadly the offer was a little too good methinks and it sold out quite quickly but when I saw it I thought of Team Potters!!!

        I'm going to look again tomorrow though just in case there is a daily quota or if it really was grab it while you can... Will report back tomorrow ;)

      9. Hi fellow potters!


        Ive been so quiet on the boards this last week but been really busy with the little lady being unwell (she's only 7mths bless her heart:( ) But although I've been quiet on the board I've been LOUD on my potting :D - a whooping £11.50 potted over the weekend thanks to roadkill, cleaning & loose change :j
        Whoop!!


        As for a pot Angela84, I use an empty celebrations tub :D It was the only tub that was empty (as chocolate doesn't last long in our house :rotfl:)


        Happy potting folks!
