    50p in the pot today. Quite pleased with my pots, made from old coffee tins that I had saved for no real reason....they came in useful in the end :)
    Starting 2016 debt-free :D

    Fantastic! If that had been me, I'd be now saying to DH "See, I TOLD you I needed those tins." :D

    Hiya Sue,

    I would like to join the new shiny thread please xx

    It's ok, Trixxibell, you don't need to re-join, but as to my PM, please would you pop your No on your signature for me?! Thanks.
    Hello Sue
    I thought I posted the other day to say I would like to try this challenge again this year but can't find it
    .
    So please don't give my number away (no 12). Its only the thought of the naughty seat that keeps me popping the change in the pot!!!
    Thanks for all you do.
    WER

    Thanks so much, WER, and thanks for the giggle. :rotfl: You spoke to me on the Reminder Thread but that was just to say you'd be a little late in giving me your declaration. Re your No...it's yours to keep!!! I only changed to list around earlier this year as we had so many folk on the old one that no longer visit. For now things aren't looking so bad though we've still got a LOT of folk to submit their declarations yet!! :( BTW, if it's thoughts of the naughty seat that keeps you potting - then look out or you'll be THERE!!!! :angry::tongue: You've been taking to Kes haven't you!! Please give her my good wishes, I still miss her wit....and trouble! ;) See you again soon....No 12! :rotfl:

    No problem about the multiples, Lynsey, I promise, though in that case Trixxibell's already a member...though you'd have known that IF she'd had her No on her sig. :whistle:

    Nice work, sonicetomeetyou, you're learning so well! :D

    Hi there, skilly! It's so good to see you, but please - more often would be lovely. You're ok re your No, it was only earlier this year that some folk had to be taken off, hence the cabinet reshuffle. :D Your Target's all set, good luck with it!

    £2 potted today - a NSD! :j :j I was contemplating going for a coffee, but decided the pot was more needy. :D

    Excellent thinking and actions, Vicky, you very wise one! :cool:

    Oh, very well done, Aphidgirl, and look at the money you've saved, brilliant work!! :j
    Have a great Wednesday, Potters, and save well, it's your mission. ;)

    Evening All! Another £3.60 for the pot, and lovely that it now sounds less hollow (already ....) Yay!! Its going to be a fabulous year.
    I'm not a failure if I don't make it, I'm a success because I :tried!
  • I've finally got round to getting new sealed tins, got a minion one for my £1 and £2 coins, and one with hearts all over it for the other coins. Also picked DS one up with money notes all over it, well I did give him the choice to have the minion one but he liked the look of the notes one.

    Anyway, potted all my extra coins from the end of the last challenge plus all the change from my purse, didn't bother adding it up but did put 2 £2 and 3 £1 coins into my minion tin so a good start :)

  • Evening Everyone.... :)


    Aww Sparky, it's WONDERFUL to have you back...I'm so sorry to hear that they haven't found the problem with Mrs Sparky but I hope they find something (not serious) soon and something that can be fixed quickly....You have most definitely been missed!!


    Thank You for your lovely words Sue....you're such a lovely Lady...xXx


    Well I spoke with the GP Surgery today....My Blood Test results were back but the GP hadn't looked at them yet...but the Receptionist DID say that normally if there is something urgent then the Results get flagged so that someone looks at them quickly...and my Results weren't flagged...which I think is good news...It means (I think) that it's not cancer at least....although I haven't had that as a conclusive answer yet...but it DOES make me feel a bit better...


    I earned some extra Money today doing a favour for a Friend and I can't Pot all of it as I need some for Shopping later this Week...but I HAVE managed to Pot some of it....but I lost count of what I Potted (I know, I'm a dozy mare :D)....but I think it was about £6 and some change....


    I'm getting some money tomorrow as well and hope to be able to Pot some of that...if I can Pot some each Week I'll be really happy with that....

    Good Morning everyone
    Thank You All for the well wishes for Mrs Sparky, she's on the mend but still not 100% and the hospital are non the wiser. Sorry for being AWOL for so long but there are only so many hours in a day. I'll be checking in with you all.

    Again thanks for the well wishes, welcome to our newest members & welcome back to our friends who have been missing & have returned (like me!)
    GREAT to see you back with us and glad Mrs is improving. All the best for a 100% recovery to her.
