    Going very slowly for me this year, but have just finished my first tin and am starting the second. Last year had 4 full tins (coke tins) so have to try harder.

    Greetings one and all.
    I know this is a little bit late in the day that I would like to join this sealed pot challenge. Inadvertently I have been doing this since the start of the year when I came across a rather large plastic Coke bottle like you see on eBay in a pound shop (mind you it was £3.49) but I thought it would be good for me to start saving my loose change. I have no idea how much is in there at the moment which is good.

    The thing that made me laugh when I saw the title of this thread was sealed pot. this is because a couple of days ago I needed a few quid and thought of my pot. I could not get the top off it was well and truly sealed. after five minutes of getting a knife and poking into the coin slot I managed to retrieve 27p, in the end I thought it wasn't worth it and put the money back in.

    It made me think that this bottle must have been made by one of the more dedicated savers on this forum.
