    Well, we're exactly halfway through. It's flown hasn't it?
    And no, sparky, I'm definitely not gonna open my pot till December, so don't worry. I have to admit though, it's getting more and more difficult as time goes on. Everytime I walk past the pot I smile to myself at the thought of all that loot sitting in there. :)
    Oh and great news, cheekyweegit, that's a flipping brilliant total!!!!

    If I don't get chance between now and when you go LMM, have a wonderful holiday and let's hope the sun shines for you.

    I thought it was only me that still can't help but refer to the last few nights as being 5 more sleeps, 4 more etc, good to know I'm not alone.

    Enjoy yourself! PS. Twist his arm and force it from him! ;)
