Well, I've had to break into the tin to pay my rent as I'm still waiting for housing benefit, 3 months on and am about to be evicted....Found £137. 93 in cash and £22 in gift vouchers (which I can use at Iceland for food if desparate) so please can someone add that to my running total? I've written myself an IOU as that money was meant to go towards an iPhone and also a passport.

Evening FE
I've put your total in as £159.93 this includes the vouchers, you're our first total on this years sealed pot challenge, lucky you had it in your pot though hun

Well some stuff went in the pots - but it went in the wrong way round. I have £s in my ps pot and ps in my £s pot.

Ho hum, ho hum.

I blame it on PMT and head cold befuddlery.

Hi Everyone :wave:.

I'm not sure if I posted this last week, so forgive if I did. I went to a boot fair and got two of those sealed money saving tins. I think I have about £37 in one now. I didn't put anything in last week but intend to this week.

Hope you are all doing ok.

Aha! Thanks LC 2, you've hit the nail on the head - that's exactly what it is!!

Hi young Jess, I'm fine and I'm pretty sure we all are. Good to see you back!

Hi Jordan, long time no see. I've put your new target of £200 on.

Hi there larmy! No you didn't post this last week, but you can do so as often as you like, not just the once. You may have started off slowly, but keep working on it.

£5.73 in the pot me folks....and that IS correct LC 2!!

Take care everyone and have a great week.

Sue New friends wishing to join us, please just ask below and I'll be with you ASAP.

Hi All

Shiney silver clunks for me today, i can see the change in the top of my little pig so am thinking that i might have to bust it open and bank it - either into my Isa or my saver

Sparky/Stunty/Sueu - dont know if you guys can remember the financial mess i was in with the ex h and how i relied on this sealed pot to bail us (and then my single self) out numerous times in 2008-09

Now when im thinking of opening my pot its because its full and becuase it should be earning me lots of lovely interest lol - its not just down to me though, you guys are an inspiration - without you the thread and the odd pm from you guys i would be in a totally different place

!!!!!!!! thank you !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi all,

Well I put lots of change in my pot yesterday - these pubs are so kind letting us buy change from them to put in the pot - lol!!!

As of thursday im back to working days so will hopefully have more pennies to put in the pot (not sure if thats completely a good thing as it means I will be spending more!!) and I'll be on here more - yippee!!!!!

Hope your all ok
