Course you can join Jess! Welcome and your name is down on the list, ready for you to see on the new thread starting next Tuesday. I've also put your target down, so all the best in meeting it!!:j I had a really good laugh at your tom and jerry success - or not! :rotfl:Make sure no one lets you get near the tin opener until the end of 2009!!! As you're so young - please don't go anywhere near credit cards unless you can pay them off each month!

No problems Aeshna, you're definately on the list and you too can see your number on Tuesday.

You make sure you get a pot LMM as you're right - you MUST be able to start when you all do!

A warm welcome to the mad house terri72, your name is down and you'll be able to see your number on Tuesday.

Stacy, you talk as though you're already on the list for this last time, but, I can't find your name anywhere on Mumzy's or Molly's lists. You sure you joined?? If not then please let me know so I can put you on the one for the next time.

Morning Everyone,
Wow, this has been a busy week on the challenge, welcome to all the newbies.
What a fantatsic place NY is, Sue you were right I was picking up any loos cents I found on the floor, but I did put them into the collection boxes that the salvation army were doing for the homeless people of the city :A . The downside is that my credit card went int meltdown lol (apparently it's the 'done thing') never mind I will have to re-do my snowball calc. Got to say the whole place was absolutely amazing, and we didn't want to come home. Also I'm on automatic pilot as we didn't get home until yesterday morning and my body still thinks it's 5 hours behind.
Puzzledbubbles how you doing hun? hope you're feeling better
Molly hope you're good also hun, here if you need a shoulder.
stunty, have you been on 'Dark days?' (hated them) will catch up with you later young man, hope you're good and also mrs S

To everyone else, well done on all the hard saving and keep throwing your change into the pots, only a couple of days to go now.

Catch you all later take care

:beer:

Please could you include me in the next challenge. My tins are ready and waiting

I wonder if it would be worth you posting a message about the cashing of the coins.
The majority of banks/building societies will only let you change coins if you have an account with them and the ones that used to be building societies, eg Abbey & Halifax usually have a limit of 5 bags per day. Banks are usually ok about the amount of bags.
Also bags should be full, a lot won't take part bags.

Just thought it might save any problems for sealed potters when they they try and convert the coins to notes.

welcome back Sparky - i knew you would have a great time in NY as it is such a fun place.

last few days for the chucking of coins into the pots before the next challenge starts
