    Excellent potting, Benten!!!!!! However, you had already saved the other and so you can include it in your Total, so, if you can remember what it is then I'll gladly add it to my records and your Total here!

    Congratulations, you've done marvellously and should be really proud of your achievements!!!! :dance::j:dance:

    neck problems? lol

    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:
    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 year :D

    *cough*

    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.

    That's the main thing :) Also, someone had to declare after jakes-mum and whatever the total it was always going to pale in comparison haha. Well done for being so gracious :D What i like to do is try each year to beat the previous year :)

    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:
    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 :D
    !

    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 £20 :D Have decided that I have to give the two 'runners up' £20 as well for their completely wrong guesses :rotfl:
