Hello! Can I join please? Not done it before so got to find myself a sealed pot. I have a little tub with some money in which I usually keep topped up for DS's street dancing every week, but would love the challenge of saving a bit every week without touching it!
Last year my mum started putting £1 a week into a money box each for my DS and DD, and this Christmas they're getting £50 each from her!
I'd like to set a target of £100, but will see how I go. Any tips on where to find a sealed pot? We don't have a poundland near here, although I may have a lidless coffee jar in the recycling box outside! I'm sure I could improvise a lid.Sealed Pot Challenge #817 £50 banked
