Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

Pips_Mum

Feeling very guilty now

I just popped my £20 Avon commision into my pot and was really pleased but now feel bad as I could have paid some off of my debt.:(
That probably would have been a much more sensible idea wouldnt it?

Oh well guess I shouldnt beat myself up about it, it is a "sealed" pot after all so no point crying over spilt milk.

Feeling very mse right now, have spent the day at work gathering supplies for my pot...I've no small people whose craft stuff I can steal. I got newspaper from my parents, who get dailies, and I got about a dozen balloons from the events co-ordinator at work, thought she might have some, apparently yes, yes she does. So the flour and water paste is storecupboard stuff....now all I need is brushes. Though I do have some rubber gloves (hair dye....:rolleyes: ) so I could do it the messy way...hmmmm... we shall see

Thanks Surfbabe - I thought it'd be a while, gives me pleny of time to figure out colour schemes and stuff.

Oh and fiance type dude has asked if I can make him one...God knows what he'll put in it, I steal all his change anyway, nice to know I'm in good company.:D

Pips Mum, don't feel guilty as plenty of people here will have no doubt done something like that at some point...myself included.

You must be so looking forward to your little one in March ....a wonderful month for Birthdays for certain!!! :j Please be sure to let us know?.....Same as me with just a few pennies Numpty, but still great to report as pennies soon grow! Good for you teeni and good luck with paying off the credit cards.

So pleased you mentioned chunky's oopalah, I totally forgot about Stunty's for the minute :eek:, so who will it be first.....? :smileyhea .....too_much_debt, I'm sure it'll be the same with being able to save more after the New Year for most of us with the run up to Christmas ...but look out then!!!

My first 84p in today! Yay
I haven't bought a jar/tin to put it in yet, so for now it's in an old purse in my drawers

....course, she might have meant exactly what she said lingjingo :rolleyes:.....cheaper than a pot for sure though bloomin uncomfortable by next December!!!! :rotfl:.........All the best with yours ashia, you sound as though you're really set to have a whale of a time. I'll think of you when doing mine. Even if you do nick your fiance type dude's cash, best make him one anyway so he doesn't suspect anything.;)

Pips Mum I can't help but agree with Purpletea, we've all done things just like that (or a darn sight worse) in the past, try to let it go and concentrate on all your joys. :A

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

Hi Surfbabe, did you make your Ziggie and Ziglets entirely from newspaper?. ..
Sue

Hi Sue

Yep - cover a balloon with a layer of newspaper papier mache, then tape the feet and snout on (means its smooth on the inside and coins don;t get stuck in the feet when you burst the balloon) then just keep layering with newspaper strips. I then left it a week till it was dry before painting it. For post last year I did the final layer with spotty tissue paper and Pete the Penguin is a final couple of payers of tissue paper.

Hope that is some help!!

i didn;t use brushes (apart from the painting) and you don;t need rubber gloves either - they are too bulky and get in the way :rotfl: :rotfl:

Hello again, really love reading this thread and so glad I'm part of the team

I've only managed 2p during the last couple of days which I found whilst moving things around in the lounge to make space for Christmas tree, my keeping my purse completely empty policy has worked well, it's made me think do I really need this in shops, am I going to put £1.26 (or whatever) on my card??

Have taken £20 cash out to buy said tree and a few bits for the weekend, hopefully I'll have lots of lovely change to feed the terramundi tonight, lol.

Just put another 5 x 10p's in my pot

DH's put's all his bronze in my little piggy bank whenever he has any so I thought I would use that as well. When it's full I shall pop it all in my pot and he can start again, that way it saves me from cashing it in at the supermarket.

I won't empty my purse today as I have over £20.00 in pound and two pound coins in it, and I would like to know I have emergency money if necessary

Me and the OH have given our sealed pot a big mission now!

We have decided we are going to spend next Christmas and New Year in Australia so the sealed pot will now go towards our spending money.

Hoping to get £1000 saved now, have £13.70 so far! :eek:
