Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

pretzelnut

I have cleaned the house from top to bottom and found £11.57 in change, in drawers, cupboards, filling cabinets, under the bed etc etc.

I also found 30p in the washer which must have been left for the cleaning lady ie ME so that has gone in the jar too.

On my way to the cash point to get money out for my sons dinner money i found 11p road kill.

My brother came round today and my jar is sitting on the table cos i was sealing it up, he asked what i was doing so i told him. And as he went out last night drinking he gave my pot all his loose change, as he has a phobia of paying for stuff with metal money he would rather get a new peice of paper money out. SO he put a nice big handful of cash in the pot, and from what i could see it had shiny gold one's in it.

£11.98 in the pot plus a generous donation from little bro.

Im already wanting to rip it open to count it, but i have to wait nearly a whole year.

Thanks everyone!!:T
Going to be induced on Thursday if nothing has happened naturally so whether they want to or not Pip will be here by this time next week!!
Then there will definately be nothing going into the sealed pot as I will be too shell shocked to go out!!!:eek:

nellis10, many apologies, I was thinking you were new. Have sorted you out now and back to your original number.

Somebody wanted to know how to make a pig, but I can't find who it was. The link is here

Hi nickynoo08 to your question "Have just found a bag of 50ps, do I stick it in the bank or stick it in the tin?!" My thoughts would be to pop it in the tin!...That's it elsie52 - though why not imagine it's a time bomb and keep well away!!!:eek: Congratulations on the birth of your 3rd grandchild today, a wonderful event!!! :T.......You'll only regret it if you touch it! ToastyPenguin....Well done TurnaroundSue - a brilliant start!.....you too stacy and some people are so kind! None of us have any idea what you mean sparky. I swear you put a magnet on your poor dog's nose! ....Apologies nellis10, I thought you were new! I've righted it now.....darcy I wouldn't honestly think the £100 premium bonds would count somehow, sorry. The pic of your pig looks a heck of a lot like a fellar in a hairnet somehow!!!:eek:.......I agree with the long term gain short term pain method and into the pot Maisie M!

Afternoon Surfbabe, not a bit surprised at the wicked cost of parking at Heathrow Airport! Scandalous!....No worries fedupandskint, it's good to see you when you can come. .......Diane Prince it's roughly about £200 if it's mixed cash or around £400 - £500 if £2 coins. .....Well done snickers, you made it!!! ......You can get the money out of the Terramundi with the help of a knife or tweezers sam010185

Have a lovely and profitable week everyone, but mostly, enjoy yourselves.
