Hi Kel. I'm not too bad thanks, though my PC isn't so great which is why I'm so late. I just hope it's ok later! Take care and sleep well.

can I join too? This will be the first group i've joined as I usually hide in the shadows and read other peoples work . I do save my pennies but then use them after awhile on newspapers . I'd like to save for xmas pressies but by then I may need it for a hefty gas bill .

Have tipped out purse and have £3.50 in change, so that will be today's and tomorrow's savings ~ getting close to broke, and have to get through to Friday.

Have a lovely weekend, all x

£2 in pot this morning, thanks to OH sneaking it in my purse when I wasnt looking.
Slow starting it off again as having a few NSD. Had to do an emergency empty (see sig for total, sealed pot total includes £2 total) and bank last week due to rent going out and needing to get money in ASAP as I did not want to have to pay Reserve fees on it. I did it though <grin> I got the money together I needed with £4 to spare, lol. If I hadn't been saving £2's as well, I would have been scuppered.

£3.10 in the pot today that I found when I was tidying up!! Think I might need to do some more of this tidying thing if I'm going to find money everytime!! :rotfl:

hiya suelizab,
Welcome to sealed pot challenge, if you're a good girl and sit quietly , when Sue-UU is back online later, she will allocate you a number, issue you with a uniform and welcome you to our "gang", this years members have more than doubled to over 600 members, so the more the merrier :hello:

As for all the naughty members, I can see Stunty and I will have to come around to your houses, give you chinese burns, lines & take your dinner money to put into your sealed pots (the operative word beind SEALED) lol :rotfl:

Sue, yes I did used to get lines, off the maths teacher, so to stop getting them I stopped going to school (what a reprobate! lol) :rolleyes:

Jess, you're only 16 young 'un, you'll go through a lot of this, it's life unfortunately, plus it makes you a stronger person, also it's his loss, not yours . Sorry to hear about your friend, fingers crossed there will be a happy outcome :kisses3:

Stunty, are you on dark days? I've been trying to keep them all in line, but they're getting restless, some have even opened their pots and counted the contents :mad: , I've given out lines, put them in the naughty corner and threatened them with you and I coming round with strongarm tactics, if they don't tow the line lol :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

It's not a case of being naughty for opening sealed pots early. It's a case of "we've saved some money up which we now need URGENTLY / for an emergency" <cross face>

I'd rather have opened my pot to bank the £26 that was in it than pay £66 in Reserve Fees, for 15 days, for not having enough money in the bank

I would like to join the sealed pot challenge please :j. I have a teramundi pot I could use but dont think it would be that full after just 11 odd months and I dont want to break it if it is only a quater full! so will find something else to use

Many thanks

EDIT have dug out an old cardboard box which I have first wrapped in brown paper then wrapped in some pretty wrapping paper. I have made a hole in the top and begun the challenge by putting in all my loose change that I was saving so a mixture of £2 coins, quite a few 50 pence pieces, lots of coppers and the odd few 5p, 20p and 10p coins

My box is aproximately 16cm in width one side, about 14cm in width the other side, and approximately 27cm in height so quite a big box and although I am unlikely to fill it completely, I will give it a good go! no more will I have any loose change and nor will my OH!!! hah!

I will always save my 50 pence and £2 coins and will save other change as and when I have it. I may even throw in the odd note :j
