"Sealed Pot Challenge 3"

:hello:Hi a newbie here...
Can I join pls.
Have just started a MFW dairy.Today made my first every OP.:j
I have had a pot for loose change for a while now-Even the children joined in with that one. If they collected change for me when shopping they would start sorting it out and 'keeping' the 1p/2p75p to pay into the pot when we got home.They even helped count it out in the holidays and we paid in £28 into the account.
I got my sealed box today and already hubby has taken claim of it, saying he will pay in his loose change to go towards the car insurance. I did only want to put in 20p or 50p but i think I have now got a habit of emptying my purse after a shop into a pot that I may do that agian.
again Hi to you all and happy saving.
Welcome l33na
Sue will be along sometime soon to allocate you a membership number, welcome to the gang, enjoy the banter and especially enjoy saving

Hey peeps,
Started emptying my purse each day and dropping all coins in.
Emptied a drawer and there was a lot of change in the bottom of it. That's now in the sealed jar.
The momento is building......
Have a great day to all on MSE.

Evening just checking in quickly.
I'm in the new house and almost unpacked - need more coat hangers but refuse to buy them all at once so still have a suitcase in the middle of my floor for now. The bottle is in pride of place next to the (not working) TV and has been fed more road kill this week than I think it'd had for pretty much all of this year so far, apparently the affluent people in the South East don't require such trivial things as 1p, 2p, 5p or 10p coins, which suits me just fine.
Bottle still looking much emptier than it did last year but hopefully once I'm working in the bar it'll pick up again (previous system as a bar maid was small tin for tips, which when full got emptied and any change not fitting in the bags went back in - this time any not fitting in bags will go in the bottle), just need to practise smiling and speaking slowly and clearly in southernese.....It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

You're welcome Susi, so pleased you're with us and set to save. Come Nov/Dec it'll be such a help.
Hiya scuba, good to hear you're settling in well and that the pots safely there too! :j Why not see if the local charity shops have any hangers for you, even if they cost a little (to go to the charities) tis better than forking out 'real' cash.
Oh dear sparky, still, I suppose at least it'll be completely 'clean' of anything. Darn shame about your photos though. Hope it'd not long before it's sorted fo you.
Good to see you Queenriderbrekke! You've been doing really well and saving in as many ways as is possible, good for you!
dbushes, you really are a confirmed sealed potter, keep it up....and remember, if you have an OH he'll be so thrilled if you empty his pockets.....for him!
Kerry, always your saving self, well done.:D
£2.52 in the pot for me after shopping.

It will PC, just keep as hard at it as you can and you'll find it all so worth while. My own's only growing slowly, but it all mounts up come December. £3.71 is good for the time you've been with us. Keep with it and save all the cash you're able to. Good luck, it does help.
