    We're like 2 peas in a pod. I found 2p at the bottom of a box I was breaking up yesterday, and I was thrilled with my find 😂🤣. Straight into the sealed pot………

    haha I hope you get somewhere close to£1,000,000 by opening day @VickyA_2

    I’m glad someone else understands the out of proportion thrill of finding worthless tiny bits of money @Dizzycap

    I’m sure that without being able to pot these tiny bits of treasure it would be nowhere near as exciting 😊

    Two 2 pound coins and 5p roadkill potted today. 5p roadkill left at the turnstile to the coach station toilets today, although it was coin entry only and I needed 30p but had no cash 🙄

    Hoping that @Sue-UU is recovering well and will be back with us in the near future.

    Just a reminder to be careful in the heatwave as extreme heat can be very dangerous

    I'm hoping Sue is on the mend too 💓 hugs to anyone not feeling great 💕💕 I have to say I'm looking forward to a bit of sun, however it might be too much of a contrast for me......we lit the fire on Wednesday because we were so cold!

    Another fiver in the pot this week. Keep potting everyone 🌞
