Could I join the sealed pot challenge please?

Gambit

I'm still on the list on the first post after doing this last year so do I just keep that number for this year's challenge too?

Went on a search for loose change in the car and managed to find aroud a £1 not much but all helps.

However I did find some foreign paper money that my son had told me to throw away and I never did. He said it was only worth £2-3 and wasnt worth cashing in :mad: So out of curiosity I took it to the bank and asked them, took 20 or so mins to sort out but the result is

- am now £18.32 better off. :T:rotfl::rotfl:

I did tell my son but he says I could have it as he had thrown it out :A Will treat him to a c.d. he wants though and put rest in the pot.

I wonder how much money is thrown out like this? he is guilty of doing it before he says - bet he doesnt do it again now though.

A few hours away from home today - spent a little in a market (broad bean plants) and in a charity shop (DVDs, and a ball of purple wool for my log cabin afghan that I'm gradually knitting). Had a hot chocolate, ate my PACKED lunch, and came home on the bus with £2.70 to put in the pot.

Of course you can join isla-red! Welcome to the thread, it's good to meet you. Enjoy yourself with us and have fun saving. You'll find your number at the bottom of the list on post 2 of page 1. Please read through posts 1 & 2 as it'll let you know exactly what to do with the challenge. Please put your number on your sig, it helps so very much

Ah that's it sparky, your IOM fund, I couldn't think of the name last night ...is it any wonder at THAT time! You've still saved hard for it so absolutely no reason not to incude it.

Great to see you back Gambit!! Sparky's so right, we never let any one go from here, after all, we'd be terrified you'd be off our spending rather than potting:D, can't have that now can we!

It is a lovely day LC 2. Let's hope things are soon better with you, you too sparky, I forgot you were sniffly yesterday, sorry.

Talking of planes (..I know we weren't, but...) I wonder if it's put the kibosh on LCs travelling!!!

Back later gang, be good.

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

Thanks Sue! I've added £1.55 to my pot today. Every little helps!

Edit: I'm using a terramundi pot and I'm just wondering how do you get the money out of it without smashing it?

Alot of patience, a flat bladed knife, tweezers if there are a few notes in there and a glass of wine or beer to see you through it (can you tell i've sat and done this a few times)
