    Hello All, Sealed pot ninja 534 reporting in.....Yesterday I managed to pot a sjiney £2 coin into the coffee tub and some loose change into the coke money bottle. So happy to be back on the money saving journey !

    However, I need to resist the urge to re-cover the coffee tub. Because it is round, I cut the top into strips and seal each one down with tape. However, I was getting a bit ratty with it so Hubby took over....he just folded it ! Now it just looks a bit ordinary/sloppy sat on the shelf.

    I may just have to put up with it and make sure that he is nowhere near it next year !

    Oh, can you put me down for a target of £600. I will update my sig with the number shortly. Thanks.

    Candy xx

    Hellooooooooooooo Pottersssssssssssssssss

    Well i'm part of a crafty secret santa group and after 4 weeks I have FINALLY sat down and started to make my gift! only 16 days to get it finished :eek: maybe I procrastinated a tad too long! I can't show you a piccy yet as 1) its not finished and 2) I know a few ladies are on the craft page in here and as I don't know if any of them are my recipient I cant show it and potentially spoil the surprise :) but I will post a piccy after my person has received and opened it. I am currently caccing myself that said person will open it and think its awful though :( Looking at the secret santa page, I don't think i'm alone in this worry though :o

    Oh Sue, I use chrome and lexs picture was mahoosive to me aswell, they always are unless the poster uses something like photobucket to resize them, I always thought everyone saw it that way too so you were not alone :D

    Im sure I have change to pot somewhere but I cant get out of my very comfy chair to go get it so currently 0p in the pot :rotfl:

    Anyway, back to my veeeeeeeeeeeery slow crafty progress, listing on ebay, and hopefully a few competitions as well as i've been seriously neglecting them :eek:

  • :hello: Good evening everyone,

    I did the food shopping yesterday and have potted £1 in 20ps into my pot.:j

    DH and I had a little drive to Canterbury this afternoon, and had a wander round. We parked in a supermarket car park as the parking charges are extortionate:eek: I wasn't lucky enough to find any roadkill though.

    Still doing my online earning, and I need to do some competitions, as I would like to win some more Christmas pressies.

    Have a good evening everyone.:)

  • Hi all :)
    Well I got a bit of change from my cups of tea on the way back from Mum's so that's safely potted.
    Also I took her some concert tickets for her to give me and OH for Christmas and she paid me, so I've potted that too :D That's given the pot a real boost :)
    Welcome back Lynsey, I'm glad you're OK.
    Sue re: pictures on the thread, they always show up as huge on my phone, I've given up looking at picture-heavy threads like lolcats 'cos I can never see them properly :( I wonder why it happens?
    Hope everyone's OK now the wind's subsided a bit.
    TDx

    Potted a £1 change from using public laundrette this afternoon.(With building works,we haven't had a washing machine (or tumbly,or dishwasher) since 21st September.MIL very kindly washes a load or 2 of clothes (mostly school uniforms) each week,but I wouldn't ask her to wash my smelly cloths from cleaning houses..Every Sunday since Sept,I have paid £4 to £7 to use the machines,and with the "clunk" of each £1 coin going into the machine,I think to myself "MY POT,MY POT,GOLD COINS NOT DROPPING INTO MY POT!! :eek:

    I also potted another |£2.45 (inc 2 x £1 coins).Last week was parent-teacher night at school.Before talking to the teacher,there is the opportunity to look at your child's subject books.As I looked in DD's tray,I found an envelope with her lunch money in!!Since lunches are now paid for online,I bought the envelope home.Contents duly potted.
    Total for today: £3.45
