"Sealed Pot Challenge 3"

Hey, I just found another 20p in the washing machine - mine now! In the pot it goes. I think I could get quite obsessed with this pot challenge! I warned my OH and children that if the money isn't in their wallet and I find it then it goes in the pot! Maybe, just maybe we will get more than just 'modest' spends for the holiday in August. :j
Oh dear, I think I'm going to wreck my washing machine, but it's another 40p in the pot! Yippee that's a total of £10.65 since yesterday!0 -

I take it you're from the North end of our fair city fishcakes!
Stunty's in the middle and I'm at the South end, so we've got all bases covered in regards to road change
