    Hey Folks!


    Only another 10 pence in today, all the change that I had lying around the house! I am trying to take out as little cash as possible at the moment so when it gets change in the future - hopefully will be big large sums!

    Hi Sue-UU,

    Hi everybody.

    Ok, so I've changed my mind again :rolleyes2

    The 'not-so-sealed-challenge-pot' that then became the 'okey-cokey pot' is now the 'Peter Pot'.

    The intention was to pay the contents of the okey-cokey pot to pay the credit card, but after learning that barclaycard are increasing their interest rates :mad:, blind panic set in. I'm not in a position to do balance transfers or apply for new cards as I don't reside in the UK, so in the said blind panic I pinched from Peter to pay Paul. The money used was allocated for something else so my major panic now is paying Peter back before the money is required.

    So once again the pot is going to be sealed no more PAW are going to be made and ABSOLUTELY no money is allowed to be taken out of it.

    So let me formally introduce you to, dum da da dum, "PETER POT" :T:T:T:T

    Toodles :rotfl:

    Hi Everyone

    Please may I join the challenge?

    I have a ceramic pig with £5.48 in it. I thought it was more. I also thought it was sealed up with selloptape on the bottom but OH has been at I think.:rolleyes: It is sealed up again and with rude words written on the bottom to avoid tampering!

    I also save 20ps and have £9.60 saved in an old coffee jar but fancy making a paper mache reindeer instead.:D

    I would like to save for Christmas as we have a party planned for 30 and 14 people for dinner:eek:. I won't set a target this time and wont count it until December either.

    Many thanks

    Hi Sue-UU,

    Hi everybody.

    So...............I have been to the recycling and have cashed in the the drinks tins, bottles and plastic that I trawled the highway for and I have a grand total of $12.80, which I am really pleased about. We also recycle our own stuff which came to a massive .25 cents so in total $13.05 is going into Peter Pot. Only need to do this another million times and I'll be debt free, lol. (Slight exaggeration).

    Hope you all have a great day.

    Toodles.
