Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

sparky0107

Morning Everyone,
Welcome to the newbies, the more the merrier, don't forget to put your sealed pot membership number into your signature, and also remember to post your total saved on Dec 1st, so we can count the overall total.

LC2 hope you're feeling better, how the heck did you manage to break your jaw? OUCH

Had to take the dog to the small animal hospital for allergy testing, she's allergic to house dust mites, and definitely has to have injections and tablets off the vet (I can feel my wallet getting battered lol)

About 4 pound and some change in my potty

Hope everyone has a great Saturday, keep safe & keep saving

How about using an empty tin of beans and put a reusable lid on it then put it at the back of the tin cupboard, not sure if he'll look in there but worth a go? Or you could use a sealed tin and hide it in one of your kitchen cupboards??

I have tried the kitchen cupboard thing, but he still finds it, but i might try the empty can thing, i can be good at saving money like that but he put a stop to that when he started stealing.

thanks xx

mollycat29 would it perhaps make it easier if you started a second pot just for your little lad?? It just might help him have a little responsibility as well as teach him to value his money and it's worth. I agree with the others about you hiding your pot. Good luck with him, it must be hard at times.

BTW niklepic, clearing the floor or anywhere else of any hazardous items, or freeing pockets of things that would otherwise harm the washer is allowed (encouraged even!) as we most certainly encourage good housework here! :rolleyes:

Glad you approve Sue and thanks for the warm welcome x

Hi Sparky. We had the same problem with our dog. Was a nightmare with her biting all her fur away. Our vet recommended cod liver oil capsures as well as the treatment for her skin which definitely left her less itchy.

Thanks for that, I'll have to ask our vet bout that one The poor little thing has got a patch of fur shaved from her right hand side, and she's feeling sory for herself .

Don't forget to put your sealed pot members number into your signature, and remember I'm doing a running total of all the sealed pots, to see how much we've collectively saved

Hi and a warm welcome to the thread Bufger (note below) and niklepic, it's good to meet you both. Enjoy yourselves here while you enjoy putting the fun into saving. You'll find your numbers at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. It's a good idea to put it on your signature and certainly helps me to help you at the end of the year. If you haven't already done so then read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll help you with any queries. Any other queries, just ask away!

Sue,
I think we're going to get upto 800 members by the time 1st Dec comes, I think we'll have to do some more shouting from the rooftops to get there

Especially as he gave up smoking last week and has been using his change for copious amounts of mints and chocolate. It can be my way of keeping him slim now he's going to live longer. :rotfl:
