Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

Pippilongstocking

eeek no pennies in no pots today - will rectify this immediately!

Kids have sub divided pots - we currently have:
Flowerpig - which for everyday raiding is ok
Campervan Purple - has the cash from lodger in it and is used for cleaner lady and general money housekeeping (lunches etc)
Campervan Red - New addition no idea yet?
Campervan Scottish - Filling with pennies for holidays
Dotty Teramundi - Filling as part of this challenge for xmas
Sheeppiggie - in my room eating upstairs change

Theory is I guess if we stash as much as possible - somehow or other it will all be ok.

Must be something in the air this year I was given - in 2008 - all of the above piggies. Wierd eh, never had a bankie before in my life.

Hope you are all having fun

Stunty - is it a church wedding or registary office details please sir! x

Evening young Jess, and well done with the dieting btw. I'm guessing it'll be a church do. I'm hinting at just running off and getting married in Las Vegas or the Caribbean. But, I guess I'll be happy to go along with anything. Within reason.....

Can I join the challenge, haven't got a target in mind as I'm not a cash spending gal;) , but my sealed pot is intended to help with the cost of Christmas.

purple_82

Can I be added too please.

I have already started saving £2 coins in a tin (needs to be opened with a can opener) aswell as a nice sized tub that contained little cheesey biscuits from Christmas. Sealed it with tape and covered it with white paper so I can't peek inside I am saving 50 pence pieces in that one. So no spending of either of those coins.

Added about £6 today. That's a one off though. I don't usually have that much to put in.

I get so excited when I see a 50p or £2 coin in my purse :rolleyes:

"I need to have road kill lessons from Sparky and Stunty" Then keep looking out mickey-mouse, they're in a town near you, bit like a road show!:D.....sillyme you could make your own if you wish, from a drinking choc tub or similar.....Take good care of yourself young Jess, could it have been prompted by over-exercising? Mind you, the cold weather always makes mine far worse. Well done on the diet, be strong and you'll get there and be a whole lot healthier for it, especially the asthma!:j......Get well soon mgarner, you're not alone for sure!:( ...Well done for involving the kiddies fayjmck, a great way to teach them!:T

Top of the morning everyone.

A warm welcome to the new members of "The Gang", it's nice to see so many of you. Hard to believe this all started as a challenge from mumzyof2 in December 2007, and has grown so big. :hello:

Stunty, I'd go along with the running away to get married idea lol, my MiL took over our proceedings and interfered :mad: with everything, DW never got anything she wanted. P.S. don't let the future Mrs S see this, or I'll get a virtual battering lol, hope you're OK

Jess, kids can be horrible, so try not to let them get to you, you've taken the first step by going to slimming world, and well done to you, you stick at it kid, and you'll show them. :T :T :T

Sue, if you see a couple of fella's walking around, one over 6 foot tall and the other well under 6 foot tall walking around scanning the ground, it could be stunty and me hoovering for road change lol. Only glad to help on the newbie front, [STRIKE]poor fools they're clambering to join[/STRIKE], the more the merrier, and as stunty says they can never leave lol, they're ours for life
(a bit like a puppy)

LC the art of road change collecting will come to you lol

Will pop in during the day to check up on you and [STRIKE]herd the newbies into place [/STRIKE] check for newbies for you lol :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:
