    Hi peeps.

    Would love to join up if it's not too late. I joined the '£2 savers club' last night and already have a shiny £2 coin in my sealed tin. :rotfl:

    Think i'll give the 'sealed pot challenge' a go. Not saving for anything in particular, but lets see how long i can save before i dip my sticky fingers in the pot.

    Have fun! :beer:
    Hiya Bigbum,
    Welcome to the sealed pot challenge. Sue_UU, (the boss) is having big problems with ther 'puter at the mo, so please feel free to chuck your change into your pot, and when sue gets sorted she will allocate you a number and then you'll be all "official" like. You'll find this thread very addictive, and you will also find if you miss a day or two, there'll be a lot of catching up to do with the posts.
