    Been to L**L for a few supplies today, and came back with £4.40 for the pot. Put it in, and do you know, it's beginning to get quite a nice feel to it, definitely a bit heavier!

    Hello, quite new to MSE and would like to join the Sealed Pot Challenge even though already in April :eek:
    I already save £2 coins so these will not be included and also put all 1pence and 2 pence pieces in a charity tin so it will just be 5, 10 20 and 50 pence pieces I shall count.
    Have not got a clue what I would like to aim for so anything will be a bonus.

    I already have my pot it doesnt actually seal and dont think I will tape it up for the simple reason its not too big and will hopefully want emptying before end of year !!!:rotfl:thats the plan anyway but may get a bigger one instead. I shall put any change in every night hopefully.
    MARCH £62.38/250

    Just a quick reminder to everyone, sorry if I seem to go on. If you empty your pots can you pop how much you've taken out into your siggy for me, as it will make life easier when we come to do the grand total at the end of the challenge, sorry if I'm repeating myself but we want to try and smash last years total by a long mile. Thanks everyone

    If anyone is on the East Lancashire Road on Sunday, look out for a lot of scooters heading for Worsley, then Salford, there is a large scooter rally. It's the annual Vesperado's scooter rally, with trade stalls and face painting for kiddies.
