    Morning all!!

    Last night i potted £1.73 and this morning £1.32. I counted my holding pot too which is currently at £295 so my total so far is £829.70 I have another pot that doesn't have a counter that contains only roadkill and sometimes my counters go wrong. With all that in mind I'm hoping for around £850 come count-up day.

    I'm so excited!!!!!!

    What a fantastic total to have. I can't wait til next year to count my own it's exciting enough hearing all of you opening yours I will be a basket case lol:j

    Good morning, looking forward to my final count up on 27th, Iv already done a preliminary count and bagged up in readiness to take to the bank, potted another £1.20 yesterday that I found lurking in bottom of my bag. Im going to use the same pot for challenge number 8 but am also going to start a "holding pot" like so many of you do. Iv often had to dibb into my sealed pot for some emergency cash, I always put it back but feel so guilty having raided my pot!! So a holding pot it is, have yet to find one but I have a pringles pot at the ready in case I cant find another suitable "free" holding pot. Decided I was going to put money into our Florida Disney fund to go towards park passes, I know the amount I put in will be a drop in the ocean however it all counts and am going to up my target for next challenge as I have seen some of your prliminary totals which are amazing. Wont post now till opening day so good luck everyone.

    Morning all, potted £1.90 yesterday. Also heard about a few attempted burglaries in the area. So have had a slight change of plans for my potting habbits.

    Currently got a 2ft coke bottle for coins & a metal tin for notes. All notes are now being banked into my account immediately (and won't be counted in the SPC any more as to abide by the rules) & the 2ft coke bottle is being swapped with a friend who has a 1ft one which is also half the width, so holds about 1/4 the money. The current one is huge & could probably hold a good £2,000 which means the new one will hold about £500, and every time I fill that up I'll just bank it.

    Means less money in the house & less bother should the worst happen, as posessions, etc are insured, but cash isn't.

    Another £1.20 potted this morning. Potting might be a little sparse for the next few days as I'll be catching up with friends in various parts of the country. However, I'm doing my best. :D

    6 days to go! :j :j
