Hi All
Ive not been around for a while but have been here in spirit. Ive had the big count up today as Im working for the next few days. I was quite impressed since we had a few lean months when DH was made redundant. Everythings ok now though so Ive already resealed the pots for next year.

£278.00

Feels great to really cut down the christmas bill.

Good luck everyone. I hope youve all done as well as you hope.

Well done tioddly widdly, I'll add your total to the spreadsheet, impressive sum :T

My sealed pot challenge went pear shaped this year. I started off well with a HUGE box to fill but had to raid it when I went a bit mad with my credit card and ebay. This was only a few months in and my finances were in meltdown.

I never replenished the pot :mad: so wont be able to join you all in opening it on the 1st. However, I am aiming high for next year and will round up all my loose coins and put them all in the pot on the 1st with the aim of opening the same 1 year later :j

Better luck next year Flat Eric, at least you had the money to pay your CC bill

Kerfuffle,
Fantastic news on the job offer, absolutely made up for you hun :T

Hi - am thinking of joining you because we do have a loose change pot anyway! How long do the challenges last for?

Never mind at least it stopped you getting into more debt and there is always next year.;)

[QUOTE=Kerfuffle)
On a positive note to the above, today I've been offered the job to an interview that I went to on Weds.

Thanks to everyone for the idea, encouragement and inspiration to do this.
Special thanks to Sue and Sparky.
