  • Hi there,

    Here's hoping I can join you all for next years challenge. I really like the idea of this. I found 5p roadkill today; before I would have left it but instead I thought of this challenge and it made me smile so I picked it up and pocketed it :)

    Can't wait to get my number if you'll have me.

    Thanks SP x

    Mmmmm hummingbird, I should jolly well think Westie would have chastised you for failing in your pot duties. :naughty: Anyway, as you've noticed, you've still time left to pot as much as possible....so get cracking (as I see you really are, excellent! :j) and you won't be too disappointed at having forgotten about it. You did do well last year so when we start up again on the 6th Nov...pledge to do better next time round! You'll get there! ;)



    Just seen this.........hangs head in shame :o

    I WILL DO BETTER:j:j

    Thank you for the lovely welcomes :)

    I have read and reread the information. I potted my first £1.05 yesterday. I'll probably pot until Nov 5th and then start again with the rest of you. Been reading through the thread and you all seem a rather fun bunch. I'm going to attempt to put my no into my signature after I write this post.

    Thanks for having me SP x :T
