    My little Sealed Potty,:iloveyou:

    I don't have a target, but it would be nice to reach
    enough for a holiday on a warm sunny beach.:cool:
    Notes would be nice, its usually silver or copper.
    Roadkill is something I see rarely, or never !

    I put in my money almost everyday,
    then OH comes home and locks it away.!
    Safe up in the loft it sits there all day
    From robbers and burglars and thieves?,you say,:eek:

    No, its Me who dreams of opening my potty
    breaking the seal and counting my money.:o
    But then I know I'm gonna be in big trouble
    Along comes Sue-UU bursting my bubble.

    The people on here are nice and funny,:D
    especially Sue-UU who is our mummy.
    Reb, LC1 and LC2, Sparky, Stunty
    and everyone else too.

    So if you're thinking of joining and saving too
    come and join the party, there's room for you.:beer:
    Grab yourself a potty and then seal it tight,
    Then leave it alone and you'll be alright. !:T

    Good morning, long time, no see, apologies for not keeping up with this thread but I am still saving any small change into Phil the Pig. :D It isn't filling very quickly because I'm more a 'plastic for cashback' spender who doesn't spend very much, but it all counts and every penny goes in the pot when it's available.

    Hope everyone is doing well, hi to all the 'oldies', welcome to all the 'newbies' and have fun to everyone. :)
    I reserve the right not to spend.
    The less I spend, the more I can afford.

    What a great ditty - it's really made me smile on this grey Thursday morning.

    My sealed pot is coming on nicely. All my £2 coins go in there - I;m not allowed to spend them under any account! I also put in all other shrapnel except £1 coins. There are a few notes that I have been given as gifts.

    I'm had planned to use the sealed pot for a holiday in 2010 but plans have changed and OH and I are going to get married! I have told him he's only getting his mitts on the money if we can go to Ecuador (my dream honeymoon is the Galapogas) but he insists that we are going to Italy - lovely but we can go there any time!

    So need to think of other ways to use the money:rotfl:. Only 71/2 months until the grand opening. :eek:

    Does anyone worry about the shortage of coins in the national economy? What if all the £2 coins in the country get sealed away?:eek:

    Good luck with resisting the temptation of opening the various pots.
