I'm glad the operation went well @MrsShazbat. I can't imagine saving so much in a tin that it just pours onto the floor! Wow you did so well 👏🏾.

Hi Sue-UU and everyone! It has been a couple of years since I have done this challenge. Today I was looking forward to logging into MSE and catching up on the thread, because I thought it was pot-opening day, which is always so exciting!! It seems I am too late- I will go back and look at the end of SPC 16 after this post.
Can I please join the challenge this year Sue-UU? I

Hello everyone,
It appears that Sue is still having problems logging onto the forum.
@Saver-upper and @Dfw38
Welcome to you both. You are very welcome to join. Sue will allocate you a number as soon as she is able to get back on, I am sure. Sue, if you are still able to read on here without being able to post, we’re all hope everything is otherwise good with you.
@Saver-upper , you might get a light reprimand from Sue when she’s back, but she’s a very forgiving sort so you’ll be Ok
I’ve potted a few more pounds today, and am doing the penny challenge as a way of boosting the pot.
Stay sage everyone and let’s hope we hear from Sue very soon27/5/17 Mort 64705 BTs 1904031/12/17 Mort 59815 BT 1673007/04/20 Mort 49208 BT 1572128/07/20 Mort 47387 BT 1263414/11/20 Mort 45905 BT 10134 20/05/21 Mort 42335 BT 686811/08/22 Mort 32050 BT 2915Sealed Pot Challenge 16 Number 57 -
