"Sealed pot Challenge" ~ 9

Hi again Potters!! I hope you're all enjoyed Tuesday. Another dry, but bloomin chilly day, should be more so tomorrow. I hope we get some frosty for photos!!!! :dance: To all our poorly family members, or those who are a bit low for any reason have some {{{hugs}}} to help a little at least, and get well soon.

Sue youve given me an idea for an extra income for my pot, Dh hasn't been to the barbers in years - we bought some clippers and I do his, so from now on I'm going to ask him to bung £2 in the pot each time I cut his hair.

Whhooooohhaaay!!!!!! I'm full of great ideas me, mrs-moneypenny, oh yes! :j Shut up jakes-mum, I never asked you! I'm quite chuffed I inspired you to trim your DH's hair...AND still get him to pay for it!!! :T VERY well done with the taxi trip too, you're definitely thinking it all through perfectly!

Ahh Sue! I bet you'd love some home made knickers too I could start a whole MSE business making them :rotfl:

DH gave me £1.92 in change for the pot and a lubbly jubbly £2 coin for the £2 coin tin

Me....home-made knickers, jakes-mum?????!! :eek: Ummm...I don't think so as I'd be forever.......getting em twisted!!!! :rotfl: Thought I'd get that bit in before you did!! Tell you what...you make your DH's and stick a photo of them on here then we'll see! They're not padded ones like the "pain heater" you sent me are they?? :idea: If they are you'd best make him som larger trousers too as they'll almost act as a nappy!!!! :rotfl: Oh, my word, your poor kids :eek: you've already got them in mind tooooo!!!!!!!

Oh no, 32b3 - yet another victoria sponge muffin takes a hostage. You looking for home-made knickers per chance?!!!

Couldn't afford to pot it all but did put a fiver in.

Hello! £2.50 in 50p coins potter today. I'm trying hard to stash all the change I get before I'm tempted to spend it.

In that case then, NeedToBeDebtFree, you'd best pot any you get pronto!!!! Just in case you're ever tempted.....DON'T DO IT as you'll have huge regrets come November!!

You very lucky, if not jammy, girl, Tizzi!!

You got it soo right about that 15p, Helen, well done. So sorry to hear the train journey leaves you so terribly yuk (that's how buses affect me), however, that positive attitiude you've got to grips with is really making you think ahead and leave the bad behind! Thanks so much for your words: DD had to see her Neurologist today, she's now on steroids and needs another MRI next month to see what's going on as she shouldn't have relapsed so soon. However, we also have to be positive and look for the good. :grinheart

That other challenges is serving you well, Val, your pot too!!

I filled my little pot for shrapnel, so have banked it I am keeping the deposit slips for I can add it all up come November.

That's fine, TheCatsandDogsMother, but if you wish, you can always pop the amounts on your signature rather than bother with the slips, up to you, and well done anyway.

Brilliant work, Brass_Triumphant, doesn't it make a difference, and will definitely do over time!

You mightn't have saved quite as much, siju, but at times such as you faced, we all need to save in other ways too, you chose well!

Not to worry, Hicksy, it'll all sort itself out and you'll have 2 great occasions to look forward too! I'm so pleased to hear all's going well with the job.

About time too, mcjordi! I was almost ready to get up a search party for a little guy with a...neck problem! :whistle:

Ah, bless your DM, Selene, a good day all in all then. Fingers crossed for the bus pass. :cool:

I think we can all identify with your feelings on clutching that first roadkill, plumduff!!!!!!! :j Excellent spotting!
