Hope the lambs are ok and that for the three you're concerned with, it's nothing too serious.Sealed pot challenge #232. Gold stars from Sue-UU - :staradmin :staradmin £75.29 banked

Hope the lambs are ok hickles69 - must be a worrying time.
Two shiny 50p's been clunked in the tin this morning - its almost too heavy to lift now (maybe I'm a wimp), still can't see the coins through the slit though.I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!0 -
Morning all, lovely start to the day again (same as yesterday), hope it doesn't go pear-shaped again!!
Can the person that put the sprinkler on yesterday, please take the day off!!
hickles69 - good luck with those little lambs. A busy, busy time I'd imagine? Rewarding though.
Potted 7 x £1 and 2 x 50p coins from the last couple of days = £8 potted.

I found my pot :j
Not been potting too much though, lots of bills to be paid out this and next month so may not get much to put in there.
I have however got DS started on one of his own, it's full already :eek: he finally decided to sort out his desk, putting the coins he found in a smallish sweet tub and filled it. He found almost £10 in change!SPC #329 £471/£500 banked

Just found a £1 coin and a 1p literal roadkill. ie: actually on a road. Potted. DH walked right past the brand new shiny £1. Must get him some new glasses.
Hugs to all. Hope your lambs will be ok hickles.S.P.C. 9 2016 No. 062 Banked £337.50

Morning all.
£7.32 into the pot for me today. I'm getting there slowly. Everyone is doing so well, i can't believe we're almost half way through already!!
It is my friends birthday today so i am baking him a cake. Its going to be just a chocolate sponge cake with frosting in between the layers, on top and maybe round the sides if it looks terrible haha. I need al the luck i can get, I'm useless at cake making!! Does anyone have any tips or a fool-proof recipe? hahaSealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4
