    Hi Sparky. I'm fine thanks. Uni is over now until September :j. How are you? I couldn't believe when I found that £10, my guardian angel must be looking out for me today :A one thing I do know it made me more enthusiastic about de-junking my room just in case I found more . what has happened to Stunty? not seen him on here for a while :confused:.

    Everything is fine in sparky land, thanks for asking. We think stunty could be either on honeymoon or practising :rotfl:, as he hasn't been around for ages, and I've been getting picked on something rotten by the ladies on here :D

    Hi all,

    Can I please be added to this group? I have finally sorted out my pennies t'other day (came to £143 :D) and that's now in the ISA so wanted a fresh challenge.

    Couple of t-shirts i recently bought from UNIQLO came in decent-sized tubes so now have separate pots for silvers and coppers (just gotta buy some superglue to ensure these are shut tight). Nuggets will remain in my VW Campervan-shaped ceramic pot.

    I'm gonna aim high and see if I can reach £350 by xmas this year (already have around £40 (£30 in pound coins) i think). Wish me luck.

    Welcome pipo,
    You'll have to wait for Sue_UU to be online, she's normally on later this evening, then you will be allocated a nice shiny number, and you'll be an official member of the sealed pot challenge ;)

    Hi everyone,

    I'm fine now, so thanks to you all. :A Think I just needed to slow down a bit. It's this getting older business, I don't remember putting my name down for it.!!:confused:

    Today I have managed to put £1 into my holiday pot and another £1 into my xmas pot......I can't get into my drawers for pots.!!! I have a window cleaner pot, a hairdresser pot, holiday pot, xmas pot, birthday pot......I'm just going potty.!!:eek:

    I'm addicted to saving and get quite annoyed when I do have to break into a note for anything.:mad:

    Bye, see you tomorrow.;)

    Hey All,

    Sending a wave to all the newbies and oldies alike :hello:

    Have been adding my change slowly but steadilly and each clink is making the pot heavier :)

    Hope all are well

    Welcome benemm,
    You'll have to join the queue hun, and wait for Sue_UU, she should be online later and she'll allocate you a number, then you too will be an official member of the sealed pot challenge :D, BTW, as a fella, I think it's naughty to raid your poor hubby's pockets ;), looks like you're going to be a member of the pocket raiders gang :eek:.

    Have fun saving, and you'll find this thread very addictive :j
