    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

    Cheers MM,
    It really is a fantastic place, I'd move there tomorrow, given the chance. I think that next years "pot" will be going towards another trip back there.

  • Hi

    Can I please join the next challenge? I bought my big tin today from the Discount shop at the end of my road, was £3.99.

    I've got 2 tins that I've been saving in so might open them on 1st December and start again from then.

    I've been and collected the demijohn tonight. Its a lovely size, not large but large enough to hold a fair amount I would reckon. I'm aiming for £50, did I say that already ? I will probably get more but in a normal month I can save just under a fiver so £50 would be about right.
