"Sealed Pot Challenge 3"
Comments
-
1p road kill for me plus a small handful of change from the floor at work - and that small handful is minus the £1.21 I took to pay for bread and milk at tesco on my way home. Have added the £1.21 to my sig as it was destined for the pot but paying by card for so little seemed utterly nutty.It’s not worth doing something unless someone, somewhere, would much rather you weren’t doing it.

Morning everyone
Welcome back Sue good to have you steering us in the right direction again, a couple of the gang went a bit astray, thinking about opening their sealed pots :mad: probably taking advantage of you not being around!
I see we only need one more [STRIKE]loony[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]nutter[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]psycho[/STRIKE] member to take us to 1000 :j
I've had a £5er on me all week so I'm popping that into the sealed pot when I get home tonight, also expecting some £2 coinage today

Thanks sue will do my sig now whit wooo! Whens the smash/surgically open day?
I used my quidco to get 52 quid for changing over my gas but god knows if that will come through! Also I found loads of change in my car so putting that in. It seems to be a dumpin ground for my loose change when I come out of shop/supermarket. I was also going to buy some boots today for work then thought it might be better to fix the others one I got, do you think whatever I save should be put in the jar?
