Hi all hope you are all well. Been a while since I popped in. I'm about halfway through my C shopping. I always start early - saves an expensive month nearer the time

my pot is getting quite heavy although we're in the middle of buying a house so may need to open it when we move to buy some things. Hope not though

TAke care all x

well been at this a few weeks ans so far have £4.65, hmmm quite a way to go to my total. Beginning to realise you dont accumulate alot of change when your housebound, taken to shaking out DH work trousers, and hounding the change out of DS everytime he goes to the shop or post office for me
He might not appreciate it now, but im sure he will christmas morning

Hi Everyone

Opened my sealed tin tonight and had amazing £426. This is the tin that I put the odd note, £2 and £1 coins in. This money is for our holiday spending. I brought a bottle of wine to celebrate.
This gives DH time to bank the bags as you can only pay in 3 or 4 at a time.
We only have a jar which we collect 1p, 2p, 5p 10p, 50p in. I count it when it lot about half full on a coffee jar. On Monday had £26 to bank in coin bags.

Well done and I bet you are thinking about getting another sealed pot going. That's a great amount I want to open mine now to see how much I've got but I must resist until Suu says I can

Right you missus
Step away from the sealed pot, shake your head to get the thoughts of opening your pot out of your head . It's called sealed pot for a reason .

BTW if you're in the city centre on the 24th, you'll see a lot of scooters opposite the 1st National pub in James Street, there's a modrophonic day on and we're doing a ride through the city centre and raising money for Help 4 Heroes charity and honouring our lads and lasses who put their lives on the line for this country :T. God bless them and keep them all safe

Ride out time will be finalised today, so I'll keep you updated on the times

woooo, my 2 yr old has just presented me with 5p in coppers she 'just found mummy' to go in my jar. The cost for me keeping it is that she has to put it in the jar for me

I opened my pot at the weekend as I want to get some bits and bobs for my daughter's 18th. I had £170 in it.
