Sealed Pot Challenge 2 "The Return"

lilgrayfox

Hi All ..have been rather busy with family things these past few months BUT have not neglected my Sealed Pot oh no no no ...... My Roses Jar all wrapped up and totally sealed has sat on the side in the Kitchen all year and been topped up as much as possible mainly£2 £1 50p's and Big notes when I felt frivolous !! Next year's input I am sure will be much less as DH retired in Sept !!
I am opening mine on Boxing Day as it has been a source of fun and anticipation to Ma-in Law who suffers from Alz and it sure makes her laugh just the thought of being like the Queen- in- the - Counting- House. I shall be so excited for you all on the 1st !!

hi all. 14p for me. not much but at least it's something. don't think i'll have much when i open it though. i'll have to try harder for the next challenge.

just out of curiosity how long does each sealed pot challenge last?

Don't knock 14p starnac...IF we added that every day for a year it woulnd't be so bad! I found 2p today, but that's all I've been able to put in all week since my £10 lottery win last Saturday!

To answer your question: As Kerfuffle says, each lasts for a year 2nd December (we start over again) of one year until the 1st December of the next. Then off we go again. However, just in case you mean: "Do you need to reapply each year?" the answer is No...you're stuck with us!!! BTW, from what you said the other day, I thought your house situation sounded perfect!

Hiya sparky, my how fast the time's going by!!! :eek: It'll soon be upon us!

Oh that's lovely lilgrayfox! It sounds to me as though we'll get just as much pleasure of you opening yours after all the delight it's brought to your MIL, bless her.

BTW psychopathbabble, does that mean that with you at Stanstead we all get free duty-frees on 1st December?! :rolleyes:

Great going Greenbynature!

Congratulations mummytummy!!!! :T You've done brilliantly! BTW, good to hear your DH hands his money to you just like mine!! :rolleyes: :j

Have a wonderful week ahead everyone and don't forget to keep right on saving.
