Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

Hi Jess, good to see you back and I hope you're on the mend now chick, fingers crossed 2010 is a better year for you and your sealed pot!
A few coppers in to the bottle this afternoon, am quite looking forward to counting it all up now, I suspect that the bottle money added to the money left aside from my salary every month will clear my credit card completely....ready to get built up again when I pay for my next ou course lol.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Hi everyone :hello:
Greenbynature: Have you got anything at home that you could 'dress' up a bit to save you spending out at all? A tin or jar, even an old, unused tupperware box? How about having a look on Page 1 and getting the instructions from Nykamedia on how to make a paper machie pig. Good for thought when :money:he gets to us all!
Hiya Jess, good to see you back again. Sorry to hear all that you've been endured recently, sounds as though those tonsils needed getting out though. Good luck with everything else! I'm fine thanks, and thanks for asking.
Well done with the job TheBees! So, if you've got the 'W' who ate the rose...guess it must be that one!
Hiya sparky. That 26 days'll soon pass by now. Well done on letting all the gang know what's what and when. I wish I could say the same re the Christmas shopping, we had great plans for the WE til the £80 had to be paid out! :rolleyes:
Night all, sleep well, save weller.

If you've got one near to you, try B&M's, they usually have the large tins you have to open with a tin opener for about £1.99. I've got mine already, so my celebrations tub will be going into the recycle bin on the 2nd of December
, I'll miss it, it's served me so well
Thanks Sparky but I got a large one last year from the £ shop so was hoping to get another one for next year but if not I'll look in B&M thanksDebt @ LBM - £25,722 Debt now - £11,811 DFD - April 2012 :eek: :eek:

and I'm definitely one of those who needs the tin to be sealed or I'll dip into it

On the other hand Jess, if you hadn't had the pot to help you out when you were short what could you have done?
And of course you'll do better next year, hell you kept going this year even when it was going badly so next year employed and healthy you have to do better (or stunty and sparky will be coming to get ya, lol).It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.
