Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

izzoh

I have to superglue my pot to stop me taking change for the drinks machine at work!!!!! Water for me now.... Kill 2 birds with 1 stone!!

I am so excited already..... and only been going for a week! lol..... but this board definately gives me the motivation to not touch it. Roll on next year.. not to fast though! lol.

i am not counting what i put in as i will start to get excited lol. It is amazing how change adds up over time. x

I feel the same way :rotfl: :rotfl: and I hate counting pennies :mad: I have a separate copper jar I keep for 1,2,5,10p's tho and I count it up every few months and put it in my bank. I was putting in 20p's as well but have now decided to put them in sealed tin!

Water is better for you xx.

Yep the change does add up a lot sooner than I even expected!!!

DD who is 7 tomorrow, found 1p in tesco last night and asked could she put it in my change jar!!.....I said no (because i know what will happen next year when i open it "mummy i helped you didnt i?" yes darling "well then mummy can i have my share then" I swear she has been here before!!!:) so i told her we would make a pig for her tonight!!

I've just added some change, including 50p that rolled out of the washing machine, someone's loss is my gain :T:rotfl:

Sorry to hear about your gran hope she's ok now?
I've packed in loads of times and lasted sometimes only days and others weeks and even months. Some days are easier than others like today I feel like going out and buying a pack of 20 as have just found out I'm not getting xmas bonus from work which I was relying on to buy my xmas presents!!!
