  • Hi everyone! Hope you are all having a good weekend. DH wants to join in the sealed pot challenge with me, so we are using the camper van money box. Basically, it works like this: DH leaves his money lying around as normal and I put it in the pot for him when I find it! And any bits I have!
    He's had a few coins to go in this week, including several £1 coins, so I've put them in the pot, it's very exciting!

    Don't forget it's a free listing weekend on ebay, so if you sell anything the money could go in your sealed pots...

    Me! Me! Me!

    Can I join please? :j I'll start my pot with a £20 note (cos they pretty :o) and carry on with £2 and 50p from 1 January til 30 November. Even though I didn't manage a full year this time round, I'm glad I managed it for 9/10 months so I know I can do it :T

    Just need to find a suitable bottle now :D

  • Many thanks for your replies regarding your systems (I love systems!) :)

    I decided it was better for the challenge if I had an actual SEALED pot (as I am forever dipping into my jars). I found a large tub that salt came in (I use salt to make salt soap, I am by no means addicted to salt!!), So I taped the lid shut, cut a slot on the lid for putting in the money, and labeled it. It's defo not a looker, but if it stops me from dipping into the money, then it's going to be my gem :D
  • another £2 coin for me today:j
