    Evening all - some money to pot at last - its been poor pickings!! £20.90 tonight though so feel like I'm back in the game. Have started to panic that I wont be able to open my tins (they need a can opener) and I'm not very good with can opening at the best of times - really hope the tins have a good lip on them.

    We had to use a screwdriver to open mine.:eek:

    81p potted tonight.
