Hi all.
£1.61 for me today. After posting last nite decided I will set a target at £400 please Sue.
And have also decided..............that when I go to bed in a minute I will be having my last cigarette and start using the patches that I have had for a month. Will defo need some help!! (Please)!!
What I can't decide is whether to put the money that I will be saving into the pot as well.
Good luck everyone, you are all doing great!!

A warm welcome to MSE Tinkdh and to our challenge! Welcome to you also andan, spam.jam and curs82 we're very motivated at present and hopefully, if we're all to get great results like last year, it'll continue that way! You'll all find your numbers at the end of the first page, your targets where necessary too. Good luck and enjoy the challenge and sharing posts here with our wonderful members.
Go careful Sparky and make sure you warm up (and down) properly or you'll risk doing yourself a mischief!!:eek: ......Well done rara32 (you're learning fast!!):T and mumoffour77!!! I always read your name as mum of our 77!!!!!:eek:........... Hi mumzyof2! D'you mean you got your pigsback piggy from the pigsback site?? ............Oooh Stinkybell it sounds as though you really do need those terramundi with your sister, tut tut!
Well done on getting the pot and making your start Jellybean_2105!!.....Miss P, I really don't mind what I'm counting at the end of the year, I'll keep saving my coppers and hoping they'll turn into gold some night!!! :j.......At a girl izzoh, take away all temptations!!:p
<<<<<"I know it annoyed me!But will be replacing today. Gonna seal my pot even more today xx">>>>> ah well that's all right then missessex, but don't forget to seal it thoroughly!!!
Congratulations MargB!!! :T What a fantastic amount you've saved!! Before buying one for myself I'd been wondering whether any one had actually achieved getting the money out it as I couldn't bear shelving out all that money only to then need to smash it next December to get at it. Thanks a lot, your post has filled me with the confidence of now getting one that I have my eye on, brilliant!!!:j
<<<<<"A big welcome to all the newbies - The Sealed Pot Society gets bigger by the day">>>>> Absolutely right oopalah, great to see so many saving!

Brilliant news mummytummy!!! That's exactly what I did with our 2 £10 wins last year.........Hi nikki2002-2008, as you wished I've put your target down as the £500, good luck with getting it.

Good Morning to everyone
Good to see the regulars posting, hiya mumzy :hello: the original sealed pot challenger, hope you're OK hun. Also oopalah :hello: , here to give support to all, well done kid. A special hello to molly:hello: , hope you are well hun; we're here if you need us.
Welcome to the newbie's spam.jam, andan, curs82 & tinkdh, good to have you onboard the madhouse, you'll find us a friendly bunch and very supportive. The more the merrier, this challenge has grown so much over the last couple of weeks.
Hopefully today will be the first "Non Smoking Day" for sarellie8 :j . Can I make a suggestion on the ciggie money? Why not put half into your 'pot' and the rest into a separate account, then give yourself a pamper day once a month, so you know you're getting something out of not smoking. HTH
Well done margb :T , on the fantastic sum of £930, I bet you needed a drink after 3 hours of tweezing £2 coins out of your terremundi, congratulations. Also well done to mummytummy :T for the £10 lotto win going into your pot.
No sign of the Big Fella stunty, he could be on 'Dark Days', or very busy helping the future Mrs S to move her belongings into "their place" lol. Good Luck mate!
Morning surfbabe, hope you're well hun
Last, but by no means least, fedmel1621 and juicygirl, I see you ladies have picked up a very bad habit from 'The Boss' SueUU, of relieving your OH's of their change. Sue looks like you've got a couple of rivals for the title of "Pocket Hoover Champion" better watch your back hun lol.
Have a fantastic day everyone, keep saving, remember every clunk into your pot's is a coin closer to your targets. Take CareSparky0107 - Sealed pot challenge member #002. Total for SPC3 £1,030.57 Total For SPC 4 £2247.00 Total for SPC 5 £2574.62 :T Total for SPC 6 £4552.91:T
