A payment a day............

tomtombeanie

afternoon from me too! had withdrawal symptoms yesterday - didn't manage to turn on the laptop at all (very unusual...) as had an unexpectedly busy day.

i may be a bit simple, but how do i join the sealed pot challenge? and how exactly does it work? i've got a tin now and have decided that we will put "spare" change excluding coppers in it. do most people keep track of how much they put it (i've failed already if that's the case!) or is it a surprise when it's finally full and you empty it?

so yesterday i put some silver in the tin, today i have had my savings account interest paid, which was a lovely £4.76 so that's going to be my payment for today.

may have even better news about the gym (i'm currently tied in until the end of jan). they mucked up my direct debit payment AGAIN this month (took almost 60 quid more than they should!!) so hopefully they'll agree to me finishing at the end of december, which will save me £83 in january. i'm just waiting for a call back...

enjoy your wednesday - keep warm! x

Hi tom
Just go on the the sealed pot challenge and ask for a number to join, I didn't join in officialy with the last one but I had a sealed tin and managed to save £241 in it so defo doing it again I didn't count mine just let it fill up so it's a nice surprise. I just use to empty my purse out on a night and put mainly £2s and £1s the odd 50p in it but the coppers and 20ps, 10ps etc went into a jar which I empty every now and again and pay into bank.

Afternoon all, only 21p from me today but every little helps! But I have put in £2 into my sealed tin, I only put in notes, or £1 or £2 coins, I have absolutely no idea how much is in it! Maybe £30-£40, I dunno! I'm saving up for a carpet for my bedroom so a long way to go.............................................I'm gonna ask for a sealed pot number too.........................as if my sig isn't long enough!

Hope you all have a good day, and still no snow here :mad:

Afternoon all,
Not having a very good day, little uns not well OH has been to dentist n has to have tooth pulled out n i've got cold too. Plus just to make my back even better, while i was out today i've slipped over on the ice, just felt my back crack! OUCH!
Have added £5 to my pot today - change from OH's busfare so in total i should be paying around £40 to my cc when the bill comes in.

I haven't posted for a few days, but I will transfer over 50p per day. It's looking like I might even have some money left over by the time I get paid on 15th December!

(edited: looking back, it is 4 days @ 50p, so £2 today)

Some lovely £s going in over the last few days. Does anyone else feel the need to have to make a cup of tea/coffee before logging on to this thread? I just know that I'm going to be here for a while catching up with everyone.

I know exactly what you mean joeyjimbles !! Just before I come on here I always think to make myself a cup of tea or coffe plus biscuit :rolleyes: before I get settled down and start reading all the threads ! I will never begin either unless I know I have at least 15 or so minutes spare and my drink & biscuit to hand !!
