If I'm understanding correctly i believe Sue is referring to your avatar/profile picture. If i am incorrect then Sue accidentally made a very funny joke haha:rotfl:indigowarrior wrote: »Hi all
I would like to sign up again for next year. I however started a pot in October and it seems a shame to open it. Would you start from scratch when it starts or not? (Its one of those metal tins)
i stopped when I became pregnant.
If you don't NEED the money for Christmas i'd say keep it and open November 2nd next yearAfternoooooooooooooon Potterrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs

Drum roll please.....
#501 declaring an amazing, jaw-dropping total of....£12.19...:rotfl:
Takes a bow and exits stage left, blushing furiously...
Ah well, it was never going to be a huge amount as it was roadkill and shrapnel, but it does pay for Small to go to the pantomime with his class this year, so I'm cool with that.0 -

Ahh I am actually banned from opening the tins as im so accident prone I can cut my hands open on anything so handing me a rough edged tin is suicide :rotfl: DH cuts them open and then pours it all on the floor for me, usually with a 'dont you dare touch those tins!' :rotfl:crimson.addict wrote: »I might have to make it my mission next year to beat you...... i doubt it'll happen but i'll give it a good go
!
Go oooooooon, you know you want too :rotfl: worse thing is that I have to beat the previous years total so i've set myself up here a bit :rotfl:
Oh and for those that were interested, £752 of that was £2 coins :rotfl: :rotfl: and DH won the 'guess how much was in the tins' and has reminded me constantly since that I owe him £20Have decided that I have to give the two 'runners up' £20 as well for their completely wrong guesses :rotfl:
