    wohoo. Got a proper sealed terramundi this morning and transfered the money from my unsealed to the new shiney sealed one.

    Much like everyone else in my position i fought the urge to count it but unfortunatly the force was to strong with the money and i had a quick count up.

    ~£25 allready!!!!

    seems high but I have transfered all my £2 coins from the £2 coin challenge into it aswell.

    I have even decided on a purpose for it aswell. I think after 3 years(4 once opened) it is about time I popped the question to my OH. I'm going to keep it a secret from her though and when the time comes to open it i'll let her do it and i have put in a small note with 'the question' on it!!!
    Ooooh. Yippeee! Another wedding!! Will it be a race to the altar between you and Stunty?!;)

  • I've just added a £2 coin, have some 20p's to go in too. Won't be adding much until after Xmas/New Year but come January will be adding every spare penny.

    Could you not put the ring in the pot?? Think that would be very romantic !

    yes i could but to do that i'd have to fill it twice to afford the ring followed by emptying it twice without breaking it folled by then trying to get a large round rock though a small oblong hole!!!
