  • Is anyone else panic potting now we're only a few weeks off opening? I've found myself putting a lot more higher value coins in the pot than usual. I think I'm compensating for not potting much for a few weeks.

    In the last week I think I've potted just under £10 (mostly £2 coins) plus 10p roadkill found on Sunday. I love roadkill now!

    Can't wait to open the pot and see the total.

    I spotted this challenge the other day and have lurked for a bit! I'm a bit late to join this time really but I will go back to lurking and join when the new starts at the end of November ☺️

    Your not too late at all in fact you could just be early for next year :rotfl: have a read of 'the rules' on the first page and Sue will be along soon and give a membership number for you to adorn your signature with.

    Peaks out from behind the lurking curtain £2 potted today :T

    I have just joined the forum but have had a pot that has been going since new year so joined this challenge when I saw it.

    I went in to B&M today to buy a cheap money box to seal for this challenge and got so distracted by all the great bargains for Xmas hampers I'm making for the family, that I completely forgot to buy a money box! :o
    Perhaps that's a good thing as I'll maybe use some of the ideas on page 1 instead which will save me money which I can then put in the pot :money: :D:D

    Hey Everyone....I'm still around although massively, and somewhat insanely, busy with Course Stuff....But I finish the Course in about 6 Weeks!!!! :D:D:D:D:D (can you tell I'm excited!! LoL)


    But I'm still Potting away....Potted another £4.55 this Afternoon which felt REALLY good...and next Week I'm hoping to Pot even more....fingers crossed!!


    Welcome to all the Newbies....I just know you will ALL do really well....It doesn't matter how much you save, it just matters that you save something!! Keep going....It's not long until Opening Day now!! :D
