"Sealed Pot Challenge 4"

rachelww1

Money a bit tight this week due to going out NYE, so only a few pence in the pot over the last few days. Really trying to stick to the budget this year (and we're only two days in!!! AAARRRGGGHHHH). DS1's birthday tomorrow so I'm sure I'll be spending again then :eek:

3.04 in yesterday. Went out of dinner and that was the change I had from NY Eve. Back to work next week so prob have more, but I am limiting myself to 20.00 a week to take for work. Also doing the shopping budget. I really want to save this year!

Yay eventually got my mega tin from my mum, tis huuugge:D
So me and ds sat last night and transfered all the money from our temp tin to our new one, didnt count it but looked like a good amount for 1 month.
Anyhoo, just popped out for milk egss and bacon for brekkie so put the change in the tin.

Welcome bargainlover
Sue will be along later with your number, so consider yourself "IN" because we never turn anyone away, so enjoy the banter and enjoy saving

Kerfuffle thanks for the mention in despatches

LC2 you sound like you're climbing the walls, hunting around the house for coinage to pop into your pot :rotfl::rotfl:

About £5 into my pot yesterday, will also be popping £2 in today, plus any change from shopping

Have a great day everyone, stay safe and keep saving

How are you going to go about learning to sew and knit? I'm quite interested in learning myself

Hi - as previously said, google! i googled learning to knit and signed up to a few sites but really need to push myself and get some proper patterns, also the wool shop in town gets together on 1 evening a week for people to knit chat and work through any problems people have with knitting, my mom can sew on the machine so getting her to help me along with free tutourial from craft sites.

Another few pennies in the pot today - change from a birthday present purchase this morning.

Am tempted to do the knitting thing too but I have no money to buy the things to start - I shall have to keep an eye open on freecycle I think!

I remember trying once before when I was younger but struggled to even get started . I'd love to be able to knit everyone xmas jumpers for next year, they all want them and they say the more gawdy, the better ! :rotfl:

HI SPARKY

Would you please stay in this afternoon so I can find some roadkill I haven't any change anywhere so need to go for a walk.

Mind you DH is off out with one of his mates later so I could always raid his pockets when he comes home.:rotfl::rotfl:

Hi SUE

Anyway it's much appreciated:T:T:T:T

Hi Everybody

Welcome to all the newbies.

Really struggling to find change haven't spent anything so no change there.

Not much point looking for road change Sparky is up and out before I even think about it. wouldn't be surprised if Stunty is still looking either. My poor pot has still only got 10p in it since I cleared it out. Oh well soon be back to normal on Tuesday. Its been a very long break. Took all the decorations down this morning just left the tree up until the 6th. Off to clear the craft room out which will probably take all day as I always tend to get side tracked in there :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
