Yesterday I silently promised myself that I would pot something every day for the last two weeks of the challenge.
So now I am sitting here,thinking I really should go to bed (am trying to out-sit two 8year olds having a sleepover :eek::rotfl::rotfl:).I wondered what I was going to pot,when I remembered that my all the Pinecone credits I have earnt and had paid into Paypal over the last 18 months was transferred into my account today,ready for Nov 5th.So,is £129 ok for today's daily pot, Sue? :rotfl::rotfl:.
Will add it to my signature.SPC #36 :staradminx 8.SPC7=£751.10 SPC8=£651.04 SPC9=£843.00 SPC10=£872.76

Have potted £3.50.
Hope everyone has a nice weekend.Frugal Living Challenge 2025 Mortgage free as of 1st August 20130 -
Come on over
I will teach you
would you like to learn how to sew, overlock, sculpt with fimo, twist wire, cook, bake, crochet, origami or copy pictures into pencil drawings? :rotfl: . . . now you know why my house is FULL of craft stuff :rotfl:
I am going to make one for my OH this weekend i hope
You could run a craft school from your home and make everyone pay you in £2 coinsNo, not too early at all, Ruth, you count down whenever you wish! Brilliant news at you NOT having to open up any earlier, and.......a £300 holding pot???!!!!!!! Can’t we tell opening up day’s getting so close!!
My holding pot was just made up of all the note money that i wanted to put in my pot but had nowhere for
I had a bit of a rough time yesterday so I counted my pots up. I was going to do it at the weekend anyway as I change mine for notes at a friends business so he needs to know how much he will need to 'pay' me before the event (if that makes sense)
I will continue potting and adding to it though. I haven't counted to my roadkill pot! i haven't found much this year though
I do hope our lovely Sparky comes back to declare this year so we all know that he and his good lady are well.
13 days to go! Good luck everyone. One final push until we're done xSealed Pot Challenge member #071 VSP #4
