Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

Kittikins

Hi everyone, not been on for a few days, am going to put in my £5 Xmas present from Grandad (actually it was sent to me AND DD....hmm....bless him ) and a couple of coppers.

Have managed to resist a few bars of choc but made up for them with reduced bread/crumpets in A*da the other day, so doubt I've lost any weight

Never mind, have a terramundi with at least £10 in it - yay

Happy Sunday everyone, DD and I are off to see her first real ballet, Peter & The Wolf/Carnival of the Animals in sunny Brighton this afternoon

Hi All

Wow Jess, what a time you have been through. You make sure you take care of yourself now.

Well after a great staff night out last night, I ended up with quite a bit of change. I have chucked it all in the pots, I didn't add it up but at a glance looked about £2 in 1ps, 2ps, 5ps, 10ps....

Well my pot has been well fed over the last two days with all the shopping!!.
My pot will be opened this year but will be transferred to an account were my husband is saving in. He is retiring in Oct 2011 and then we intend to go to Australia for as long as we can afford.

Hi all... just wondering what everyone is saving for or if you are saving to pay off a bit of debt etc. :cool: :cool:

I just think after saving for that long it would be great to treat yourself but i wouldnt want to thrift it away!!!! :rolleyes:

Just curious as to what all of you guys are aiming to do with the hard saved money???? :beer: :beer:

I am saving to buy tickets to Disney Paris, for Christmas 2009, for my kids.

Mine was for a new setee, cos the old one is starting to fall apart.

BUT, I reckon by the time I get to next year, I'll have picked up a cheap 2nd hand one (or a feebie off Freecycle), so the money can go towards my hol of a lifetime looking at rocks etc in the USA (not set a date yet)

6 clunks for me over the weekend. Mine will cover Christmas 2009. What a great feeling it will be to pay for christmas without using any credit.

Please can I join?

Just emptied my big whisky bottle that's been sitting there for about 2 years = £75 considering I hardly put anything in it!!!

Want to start again 01/01/09 - might count it every month/quarter as I need some encouragement to keep going - is this allowed????

Thanks
