    Thanks Sue. My total is £662.85 :D:D. A quarter of that I am using to buy presents for the giving tree (if they ever announce it!!) and I will change the rest into dollars.

    Well done on the £50.

    I'll start next years pot tomorrow :D so I'll still be on here most days, and I will definitely be here on the 5th November to see everyones totals roll in :D

    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.

    No, 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 :D

    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 x
