You do it the way you wish 133na. You're not the only one and in any case, it's far better to have the cash for when YOU want it!! Don't worry about moving along slowly with your saings either, the main thing is that you're saving!

Sorry to hear you've got a cold LC, get well soon and keep warm.

I checked the calendar earlier today sparky and was quite shocked to see we're that advanced, where's the year going to?! :eek:



Apologies mcjordi, though I hadn't been peeping in your pot - honest!! I had you mixed up with someone else. Thanks a lot for putting you No on your siggy.



Words like that are a joy to read Applecider, you've made my day a good'n!

youngmummy - keep training him as you're obviously doing a grand job!!! :T
Have a lovely day all.

Haven't posted in ages. Yesterday I had to open the sealed tin. It wouldn't take any more money. My aim was to put in £1 per day from the beginning of the year and then cash it all in on 1 December. The total yesterday was £337. :j I'm delighted. The shrapnel jar is still ongoing.


I've put it all back in at the minute until I can make a wise decision as the desire to blow it is exceptionally strong. I had planned on using it for Christmas but do have a good bit of Christmas sorted already. So I'm dithering now over what to spend it on:


Baby 4 is due 22 November and some of my mat leave will be on SMP so this could go towards bills during the months I've less money.

Do I cash it in now and sort out the rest of Xmas and then start again?

Do I leave it in the tin until 1 December and buy another tin and keep filling it and do a recount of both on 1 December?

Do I cash it in and treat the whole family. :eek:

Decisions, Decisions. :rotfl:

Well done on the £337, I'd go for option 2 buy another tin and open on the 1st December, don't forget to pop the amount into your signature for me. Dood luck with baby No.4

You sure about that mcjordi :mad: I got you mixed up with our biker friend saver....not you is it??? I thought I was sure of the name but now wondering if twas the number I messed up on?? Am confused....maybe you're right 'n I am crazy - ?!! :undecided I'll have a debate with myself....DEBATE I said!!!

Decisions, Decisions indeed Ex-Spendaholic! Still, think it all out and don't do anything rash, you want to be sure not to have any regrets. You could even carry it on through next year. Great news at saving that much though, you've really done yourself proud, the family too!

So we've a "Sealed Pot" baby to look forward to this year too!!! Thanks for letting us in on it, I love expecting other folks babies and looking ahead to the birth of a new life, please let us know when he/she's born won't you?? :j

Damn! I give up mcjordi, I'm off to the beginning of the 2nd thread to see if I can sort out who the guy I'm taking about really is...though I guess now, you're gonna tell me you're one of us gals anyway!!!! Oh eck, I need a break - one hell of a long break!!!! :mad: I'd have a drink but I'm teetotal. :think: :silenced: :huh: :undecided

Hiya LC, I'm turning to you for some sanity (wrong person, but she won't know) Reading your post I 'saw you' hands all floured up, nose running and you wiping your nose all across the back of your hand...up you arm..then into the cakes again....:D I view the world in a lovely way, see you do too. Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better today. What's that - a cake?? Do I wanna cake? Oh no ta, I'm just far too full. (:eek:)

Night all, sleep tight.
