Oh, everyone, if you haven't already done this then PLEASE follow sparky's thoughts and have a go as it's hilarious!!! We all loved it last year and the kids were just SO funny. It's also damned hilarious if you've got older more staid members of the family as a photo of them in the figure is a BLAST!!!!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:Sealed Pot Challenge 001 My Totals = 08 = £163.95 09 = £315.78 10 = £518.80 11 = £481.87 12 = £694.53 13 = £1200.20! 14 = £881 15 = £839.21 16 = £870.48 17 = £871.52 18 = £800.00 19 = £851.022021=£820.26[/SizeGrand Totals of all members (2008 uncounted) 2009 = £32.154.32! 2010 = £37.581.47! 2011 = £42.474.34! 2012 = £49.759.46! 2013 = £50.642.78! 2014 = £61.367.88!! 2015 = £52.852.06! 2016 = £52, 002.40!! 2017 = £50,456.23!! 2018 = £47, 815.88! 2019 = £38.538.37!!!! :j0 -
All done laura and a good idea of going at it more carefully. Even I have to do that, or I'd be at it all the time..... to coin a phrase!!
Yours is updated too Marg. Good luck with hitting or passing the target next time! :j You CAN do it.
Don't you worry Paul, we're always super nice to first-timers... just look out down the track though!!! :rotfl: Totally on the serious side (this time of year with the SPC makes me slightly bonkers) do you have any target in mind or d'you prefer to have a surprise come Dec 1st?

Wow - have read through most of the last posts in the last thread and well done everyone - how amazing how much everyone has raised!!
I was going to open mine, but I've decided I really will leave it - I'd rather just wait until March 2010 (I'm saving for money to spend in France) but I definitely feel part of this just reading how much everyone else has savedSealed Pot challenge #508

Hi JaneLiz - what some amazing totals eh!! :eek: I know about you wanting yours in until March for France - but - IF you want to take it out, count it, then pop it back in again, you're more than welcome to do so. I did that with mine yesterday, put the total on the board, and it's now back in it's home til summer or til Canada in 2011.:j Up to you entirely, just wanted you to know you have the chance.
Welcome back mcjordi!You're not late...smack on time really. No problem at all about your pot, at least it came in handy at a time you wished, that's what matters. Good luck with your target!
Don't forget http://www.elfyourself.com/ folks, you'll love it.

Hello! I'm in again, going to aim for £300 please Sue. I think I need a proper pot as last year I only used an old purse and it's not very big. I got a proper piggy bank in the shape of a VW camper van when we were away in September and I think I will use that. I've been trying to encourage DH to put his change in there instead of leaving it lying around so I will have to see if he will let me share it!
Happy saving everyone!"Snowflakes are one of nature's most fragile things, but just look what they can do when they stick together."
