Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

ratty67

DH just came home with 30p roadkill :j

Been cleaning out my chest of drawers this afternoon and found a whopping £26.45. £20 note I must have hidden away at some point (no clue when!) and a bag of 5ps. Now I knew about them, I just couldn't remember where I'd hidden them :rotfl:

So I've bagged up £5 worth of 5p's to change at the bank and put the remaining ones into my coppers jar.

I'm now undecided what to do with the note. If only I could remember who's it was and why I hid it away in the first place! Got a feeling it's probably birthday money from a couple of years ago...(but I've obviously not missed it have I?!!!)

its been a NSD for me so no change for my pot.

Sparky- i'm fine thanks, just trying to build up enthusiasm for going back to uni on monday, i find some of the lecturers a bit boaring and am also wondering if uni is right for me, but i know i would be silly to give up and given the curent economic situation with bussiness laying people of everyday, it would be hard to find a job.

Stunty- are you getting married?

Evening shelley,
Stick with it hun, it will be worth it in the end. As for the economic climate I think a lot of these firms are just jumping on the bandwagon, and using it a s an excuse to get rid of people, with the least amount of redundancy that they need to pay out.

On a lighter note, stunty is indeed getting married having proposed to the future Mrs S before Christmas. :T

Hi elizabunny,
It's never too late to join the madness, that is sealed pot challenge. you'll find us a friendly if not sometimes crazy gang, and if you're a good girl sue-UU (she's in charge) will be along later this evening to allocate you a number, and make you all "official". Once again welcome
:hello: :hello: :hello: :hello: :hello:

P.S. some of the other ladies on here are a bit feisty, and also they are trained in the art of "dipping" their OH's pockets for change to feed their pots lol. You've been warned, don't let them corrupt you

Evening all - hope everyone is well.
My financial week goes from Wednesday to Tuesday and I have £10 left from last week's budget in my purse (haven't taken anything out for this week yet as not well and staying in). Can't decide whether to put it all in my pot or just half of it.
